Can't really argue with the list, nothing else I'd like to see there. I mean, after all, check the following list....
A League of Their Own -- yeah, right; a drunken Tom Hanks as manager, Madonna on the field, and they have a happy ending?
Over The Top -- as much as Stallone did with Rocky, he buried arm-wrestling with this dud.
Major League -- funny, off-color humor (my style!), but sooooooo contrived. What do you want for basically a cable sitcom 100 minutes long?

Any sports movie list must include The Sandlot. Not really, but that movie is awesome.

I am kind of shocked rudy didn't make it. For some odd reason, I really enjoyed that flick. Moreso than jerry mcguire...I wonder what requirements they have for their selection.

My recommended replacements:
Black Stallion instead of National Velvet for horse racing;
Bang the Drum Slowly instead of Lou Gehrig Story for baseball melodrama.
