BASEBALL MOVIES
It's time for America's favorite past time to begin! BASEBALL!
I've already watched a few like sandlot, field of dreams, league of their own - so if you don't see your favorite on the poll - make sure I haven't already watched it!
ZOOTOPIA (yesterdays early access) is currently uploading and will be posted as soon as it's cleared.
IMPORTANT
I owe you guys an explanation for missing posting on YouTube and on here yesterday.
You choosing to spend your hard earned money on supporting me is NOT something I take lightly - especially in today's economy. Your support makes it so I can keep making content, watching movies, and creating videos on the second channel - so when I fuck up multiple times in a row, it is NOT something I just want to ignore. It doesn't help that when I do upload - recently I've gotten blocked with copyright that I haven't caught in time.
I know I talk a lot and openly about, well, almost anything online - but I do keep some stuff private. Everyone is fine - the babies are fine - hubben is fine. Recently, I have just bitten off more than I can chew and now I'm paying for it. I'm learning serval hard lessons in my private life right now and it's clearly all starting to catch up to me.
You have every right to be annoyed with me, take a break from here, or just cancel all together. Of course, I hope you don't leave; and if you do, I hope you come back eventually.
Just know I do not find me missing uploads acceptable in any way. This first quarter of 2026 has really and truly kicked my ass in more ways than one - that is not an excuse, but hopefully just a reason I can give you. Hopefully this messages help you know that I see you and appreciate you. I really am getting my shit together.

You've already watched my favorite baseball movies, The Sandlot and A League of Their Own. OOh technically it's a series, but there was a League of their Own tv series on Amazon Prime a few years back? I don't know if Amazon would crack down on you for copyright but...wouldn't be surprised. Always the companies with too much money who wanna squawk lol. Also, take care of yourself Ashleigh!
First be kind to yourself. Nobody else will look out for you the same way. Second, Bull Durham has THE s3xiest line in any movie ever
On this list Bull Durham is the best. The greatest baseball movie ever though is Pride Of The Yankees, hands down! Others I would recommend would be The Natural, Cobb and Babe starring John Goodman. And for goodness sakes hon, don't be so hard on yourself. If you only realized just how much we all love you, and know how much pressure you're going through. It's all good hon. 🙏
Love your posts and reviews. Just take care of yourself! We all have life issues, so just know you're not alone. Not going anywhere. :-)
Damn Yankees would be a hoot!
1) Pride of the Yankees (classic) 2) A League of Their Own 3) Damn Yankees (musical)
Hey Ashleigh, Thanks for the update, but don't be too hard on yourself. We're all just humans getting by on this rock as it spins around the sun. You bring a LOT of joy to a LOT of people with your reactions. Know that we absolutely have your back and if you need some time to take care of you, then take it. We know that you are doing your best and that is all you ever have to do. I wasn't kidding when I said you have a great connection with your Hot Mess Express Crew :)
Million Dollar Arm (2014) is a true story
Bad news Bear's is a little league team
Trouble with the curve is a must see. has Clint Eastwood,Justin Timberlake, Amy Adams and a bunch more. Also the Bad News Bears , with Walter Matthau's, it a trilogy. 1976, 77 ,and 78.
Oh my god, I'm so pumped for Zootopia lol. BASEketball certainly will not win but I highly recommend you watch it after this one.
Oh Ashleigh you're going to love Major League. The baseball commentator Bob Uker what's a real baseball coming Taylor for the Milwaukee Brewers for years and he was a former baseball player. That's the one in the movie that would remind me of you with the one-liners
How about Rookie of the Year or 42? I am sorry to hear that life’s been kicking you in the tail. I’m sure we have all experienced that at some point (I have) — there is no need to apologize. We understand!
Don't worry about it life happens you didn't forget us
Please add "The Natural" to this poll or some future poll. It's a great movie with a great performance by Robert Redford.
Keep your chin up. Sending you love. 🩵🩵🩵🩵
Where is Moneyball?!?!?!
You HAVE to see Rookie Of The Year. Not The Rookie (though that's good too), Rookie Of The Year. Trust me, there are at least two actors in it you're gonna geek out over.
Glad for your honesty but your health and personal well-being should always take front and center. With that said, Major League is a sports movie classic (above & beyond just baseball movies) so I voted for that.
The poll could just be: The Natural, Major League, 61, and Bull Durham. I mean, you could put 12,945 other baseball movies on the poll with them, but those are the four most likely to be voted on if they were in the poll. I'm glad at least 2 of these made it this go-round.
61* isnt on the list
Here's an out-there choice for you. "Rubarb" from 1951, in which a millionaire leaves a pro baseball team to his cat. The cat in the film is played by Orangey, who you've already met in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Appreciate the explanation, but take the time you need 💕 if you don’t take a break when (before) you need it, your body will make you and it will likely be a longer break than you wanted in the first place! Don’t burn yourself out! We love you.
BULL DURHAM LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
BASEketball would have been a good 4/20 choice. LOL!
Moneyball, Little Big League, Rookie Of The Year. if those haven't been done yet.
Don’t sweat it. I’m not leaving. I am sorry The Natural is not on the poll.
Agree, The Natural is a great movie.
Not going anywhere, Ashleigh. Still love your reactions and vlogs. Much love from Texas!
I'm not going anywhere! Especially if you add The Natural to the poll! Or did you watch it already and I just couldn't find it on YT?
Listen, I don't know you super well, only from your reactions and the lives, but I have a feeling you're a little like me and are very hard on yourself. Don't be. Life happens, shit happens and when you have to go through it, sometimes things take a backseat. I get it. Last year (yes most of the year) was like that for me. It was rough. But you've got this girlie. We are all here for you, we understand and we still love you. *<3 <3* That's right. We less than three you. LOL Bull Durham is a classic. I'm pulling for that one to get more votes. I think you'll be surprised by the cast (or at least how young they are!). Angels in the Outfield is also a classic live-action Disney.. wholesome and fun so I'm cheering for that one too.
You get your shit together too, damnit. 😁🫶🏻
It’s always been clear that when it comes to your work (and other areas of your life, I’m sure), you hold yourself to a very high standard. So, when there are delays, my first and only thought is that I hope everything is ok with you and yours. My reaction is NOT anger or disappointment or thoughts of cancelling. I’m sure I’m not alone in this. Glad to hear everyone is ok and hope things feel more calm soon!
We are still right here Ashleigh :-D Life will do that, think we all have times like these in our lives where everything piles on top, some of us never get a chance to get ahead, to everybody out there that is hurting, I do hope things will turn around for you and you get the help you need to get ahead. Do not be too proud to accept it, be grateful and try your hardest to make it work. I do hope BASEketball will pick up speed in the polls, really funny! I have seen a few Baseball movies and a few American Football movies, I have enjoyed them, they are not something I go after as I do not have any nostalgia towards the sport. I like sport movies that are not about the sport, like Green Street Hooligans, that one was awesome. Oh, edit: Shaolin Soccer, awesome
Not going anywhere
Not going anywhere!!
No worries girl! This happens to everyone. And as always, when it rains it pours. Just when you think you’ve gotten a handle on something, something new comes along to knock you on your ass. What matters is you’ve always given your best. And that’s all anyone can ask for. Hang in there!
Absolutely stunning that The Pride of the Yankees (1942) isn't on the list. The true story of Lou Gehrig.
I know nothing about sports movies, but I just wanted to pop in and say you always do the best you can for us, but please don't forget to do the best you can for yourself as well. Idk what all is going on, but take time when you need and when you can just for yourself. Take it one day at a time. You deserve the space to take care of yourself without guilt. Idk if you're a 'music through the hard times' girlie like me, but I've found Jude Johnstone to be especially helpful. She even has a song called "Hard Lessons". She's a good artist to cry to.
"Well then, get your shit together. Get it all together. And put it in a backpack. All your shit. So it’s together. [exits room] [pokes head back into room] And if you gotta take it somewhere, take it somewhere, you know, take it to the shit store and sell it… Or put it in a shit museum, I don’t care what you do, you just gotta get it together. [exits room] [pokes head back into room] Get your shit together!" - Morty [Rick and Morty] 💩♻
LOL.. where is said shit store? I have some valuables to sell
I was hoping to see Moneyball, Trouble with the Curve, Fever Pitch and/or Brewster's Millions, as options.
Brewster's Millions is a fun movie, but there's not much baseball in it.
I agree with others about you taking care of yourself and your stuff is more important. I think you put out more content than just about anyone I can think of. Also I second The Natural, unless you watched it already. I don't remember. Sending big love and hugs from a natural Mama Bear!
As a member here since the early days of Ashleigh folding laundry on the couch doing reviews, and probably one of the older folks here, don't sweat it Ashleigh. You are an awesome creator and we understand that LIFE happens. Speaking of LIFE, it is a great movie with an amazing cast including Eddie Murphy. Sorry, got distracted. I would hope everyone understands and realizes that you are just a person like us and thigns hapen. I know I appreciate you sharing your sense of humor and Beans with us and look forward to the uploads. Just keep swimming - Dory!
Speaking for myself, I believe most of us are very loyal to you, because of your honesty. And we all know in life, shit happens. Not to worry. Nobody should discontinue their support, over the occasional glitch-y. And I'd like to recommend for a future Baseball poll. Pride of the Yankees. Love to see on your channel more reactions to movies made in the 30s and 40s.
Yes to more from the 30s and 40s, and even 50s! I want more Old Hollywood!
Ashleigh.. its all good. I was surprised that Scream 7 got blocked.. I didnt know studios could or would do that especially if its on a site where people would have to pay money to watch their movie with you. Makes no sense that theyd pull the plug on you like that. As for your personal life and the struggles youre going thru.. we've all been there and we would never bail on you simply for being a human and making a mistake. I joined this channel on Patreon because I love your content and I love your reactions to movies. Just know that we support you and remember.. this too shall pass.
The greatest baseball game depicted in a movie is the Mariners-Angels game in The Naked Gun.
How about 'Eight Men Out'?
Damn, Hardball has been on my list of movies I hope Ashleigh watches for a long time, but it doesn't look like it's got a chance. Otherwise, all of the baseball movies that I'm interested in have been watched already. I'd watch Moneyball or Rookie of the Year if they were options, though
Don't worry. I have secretly been spending other people's hard-earned money on your Patreon. I'm sure they're very upset but it doesn't bother me at all. As always, remember: you can always apologize to your entire audience with the gesture of watching the movies that I specifically have recommended. Everyone in the entire community will enjoy that equally.
There is no The Natural I thought you said you liked watching Redford. It has Glenn Close in it as well
Very good. That is one for the next baseball poll and I'd also like to see Pride of the Yankees.
You’re too hard on yourself! Personal love your channel but I’m super behind anyways. I still haven’t seen Stranger things 2 and I binged Angel even tho I said I wouldn’t do that lol. Can’t wait for Angel 5😁 Maybe TV series version League of their own was soooo good!
Ashleigh, please know we understand. Life be lifing all over the place. It's OK.
Ok! While there are ALOT of good movies on this poll, we need to give more love to MR. BASEBALL! One of Tom's best films!
Not annoyed at all! You are a human being first, you need to be okay. Whatever you need to do, no worries. I still have a bunch of your older reactions I'm trying to catch up on anyway 😅💖 I'll add my voice to the "watch Rookie of the Year" crowd.
Some more Baseball movies: Moneyball Rookie Of the Year Little Big League Summer Catch Trouble With The Curve
all great suggestions! Especially Moneyball. That was so good!
The Natural is one of the greatest baseball movies.
Hey, sorry to hear things have been tough. Sending some positive energy your way. I don’t know any of these films but I would like to see you react to a basketball film if you move on from baseball. Coach Carter is fantastic!!
Everybody Wants Some!! (2016)
A League of Their Own?
She's seen it.
Why isn’t Rookie of the Year (1993) on the list??
I am not going anywhere. I may even power a sports movie just for you.
Truthfully, BASEketball doesn't really belong on the list... it is hysterical, it has a great cast, it is created by South Park Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone (as well as stars them), but it is closer to Basketball than Baseball. Major League is the best option, followed by the Benchwarmers, and then Angels in the Outfield.
Honestly, these are all great movies
Moneyball and Rookie of the Year, please! You'll love both
I was looking for both of these in the list!!!
Eight Men Out is a good one too.
This is tough, I see 3 i would love to see you react to but 2 of the 3 are doing well. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Ashleigh, I would never leave. I am annoyed a little, but like the song says, thats life. I know that u keep some stuff private, and u do deserve to have privacy. I know that u have personal struggles. Probably having to do with mental health. Im glad u acknowledged it though because it just makes me love and respect you even more. I do have a favor to ask though. I know that Hallobeans tees r exclusive for that season, but if u would sell them year- round . I wanna desperately buy the Michael Meyers beans tee. I ordered it b4 but it never came so I consider that tee as the one that got away. Lol. I hope you will do some jack black on ur channel soon. Im not sure when ur gonna post the watch-along, but the only thing that frustrates me is not knowing the movie titles ur gonna watch. I have a foot and a half stack of movies that I need to watch or are coming soon. I hope you will still watch Flashdance. In addition to that, 1980 Fame. I cant watch Scream 7 with u till June when it's on disc. Everyone does digital releases now so I have to wait. U always keep it 100. I love u and stay Groovy.
Not annoyed at all! You take care of you first and foremost. All we minions can wait!!
You do not need to apologize- life can really overwhelm us at times. Your priority should always be you and your mental and physical well-being. Take your time and we will be waiting for you when you are ready.
As someone has already stated, your personal life will always take precedence over YouTube "life."
All of them!
Consider adding "Damn Yankees" (1958). Directed by George Abbot (who wrote it and had directed it on stage) and Stanley Donen (Singin' in the Rain), it stars Ray Walston and Gwen Verdon, reprising their Broadway roles. it is AFAIK the only baseball themed musical ever written.
What ever Lola wants.... :)
Did she already watch 42??
You do great. You put out huge amounts of content. *IMO* Patreon is a platform to be a patron (like the Medicis in Renaissance Europe but we're not as rich)... We're supporting creators so they can create more and better... We're not 'employing' them! tl;dr You do you boo! You owe me nothing...
I appreciate your openness and honesty, it's part of why we subscribe to you. I would rather you focus on your health and well being because that's what matters most. The content will come when it comes and I'll gladly watch when it does.
100%
MAJOR LEAGUE! Oh she's gonna LOVE Vaughn! 😆🤘
That haircut....🤣
How is "Fever Pitch" not on here?
Awww. I forgot about that one. Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore is such a great combo.
Sorry to hear this year is kicking your ass so far... it's been a tough year for a lot of people, so I definitely can empathize with you and I'm sure most other folks here can too. Not going anywhere, just keep putting one foot in front of the other and you'll get through it eventually.
I understand getting buried under commitments. Rest assured I am not planning on going anywhere. I love you and your channel. If I do leave it will because of my depleted finances. It is the sorrow of a fixed income. If it comes down to my pets and my meds, or your channel, I will have to drop you. Thankfully that has not been a severe problem yet. Thank you for all you do! 🐺❤️🐱
Like to shout out The Natural for a great baseball movie.... Ok, with that said... You take all the time you need. As long as you touch base (see what I did there?) and just let us know you are alive and give us just some brief statement like "Hey, working on some stuff but will be back soon." or some such then I would think the vast majority of us will be fine and will be here whenever you get whatever mess you've found yourself in worked out. Remember, we want this to be fun for you as well, so I am sure we can roll with some down time if need be. Peace.
I voted for Angels in the Outfield but only for the original 1951 film: a pure delight. As usual, the remake is not worth watching.
Bill Durham is so good.
Lots of love to you Ash. We know you’re an ass kicker. The asses you have to kick in life can be a bit more than usual but that just means you’re leveling up! Just be mindful not to kick your own ass in the process.
In other words, be an ass kicker, not an Ash kicker
The Natural with Robert Redford is a good baseball movie to consider next time.
You should also look into The Natural.
So glad to see BASEketball on here. Ashleigh, take care of what you need. We'll still be here.
Best movie - Bull Durham. Funniest movie - Major League. Both are acceptable. Honorable mention for Baseketball. Not the best but has some good laughs. Been following you on Youtube since the beginning and Patreon off and on since then. Love you. Take care of yourself and do whatever you need. You come first.
Be kind to yourself Ashleigh. We all have those times in our life. You are doing great
BASEketball!!! You will have a blast. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are GD geniuses. 😆
I won’t speak for everyone else, but I ain’t going anywhere. Sometimes life just kicks your ass & if you’re a little less productive when that happens, I can certainly relate. When you do slow down it’s not like you don’t have an extensive catalogue of things I haven’t watched with you yet I can go back to while I wait for something new. Your physical & mental health matters way more than all the other shit. Call it ginger solidarity, but as long as you’re here, I’ll be here.
I never realized that Ashleigh was not posting on her normal schedule. I just wait for the patron notification no matter when it comes, I don't care. I would never quit Ashleigh, she makes laugh. I hope things get better soon. ❤️🩹
We all have off days. As long as everyone is ok the occasional glitch is no big deal.
Ashleigh, you don’t owe us perfection—just yourself. Life happens, and we’re here because we like you, not just the upload schedule. Take care of yourself first, we’ll be here when you’re ready 🤍
I almost voted for the Rookie because I thought it was Rookie of the Year
Please oh please I hope that Major League wins. ⚾♥️ I'll take Bull Durham as well.
We luv you Ash. Take whatever time you need!
What about a League of their Own?🥺
I think she's done that one.
Love U, Ashleigh, don’t worry about being a day late with an upload here or there. We could all stand to practice a little patience in our lives. Just keep the Express movin’! 🚂 💨
We arent going anywhere ❤️
Please add Moneyball to this list. Also, life>content. Make sure to take care of yourself!
Moneyball!! Came here to say this! Data is beautiful (and baseball is an ok sport too*grin*)
Rookie Of The Year
