As               a               sports               fan,               I               enjoy               movies               about               sports.

In               the               many               years               since               the               introduction               of               television               to               our               society,               there               have               been               many               great               sports               moments               which               resulted               in               movies.

I               have               listed               my               top               5               favorite               sports               movies,               which               just               happen               to               be               5               different               categories               of               sports               --               basketball,               football,               hockey,               boxing,               and               baseball.

I               tried               to               choose               movies               that               I               actually               have               purchased               and               watched               many               times.

Let               the               countdown               begin.

#5.

The               Rookie.


               This               is               a               movie               which               is               based               on               a               true               story               about               Jim               Morris               (played               by               Dennis               Quaid).

He               was               a               high               school               baseball               coach               who               had               a               dream               and               a               98mph               fastball.

As               a               young               man,               he               had               tried               to               get               into               professional               baseball,               but               got               a               shoulder               injury               which               ruined               his               dream               until...

in               1999               he               made               a               bet               with               his               last               placehigh               school               team               that               if               they               won               the               district               championship,               he               would               find               any               major               league               team               to               try               out               with,               not               believing,               of               course,               that               they               would               actually               do               it.

The               team               went               from               "worst               to               first"               and               he               lived               his               dream               by               becoming               "the               oldest               rookie               in               the               league".

(excerpts               taken               from               the               back               of               the               movie               "The               Rookie"               by               Walt               Disney               Pictures).
               #4.
