Baseball movies can be very hit or miss, but even in those movies that are not the best, there are still characters that are memorable. Here are the Top 30 baseball movie characters of all time.

The genre of baseball movies are full of some of the best and worst characters we’ve come to love and hate. Even this list, though ranked as the Top 30 best baseball movie characters of all-time, doesn’t necessarily mean we love them all or hate them all, either.

This list includes many characters from the “Major League” series, a few from “Bull Durham” and some fictional characters from movies we may have forgotten about over time due to just not seeing the movie lately, or for the reason the movie was worse than a hanging curveball thrown to Mike Trout.

Of all sports movies, baseball movies seem to tug at the heartstrings a little more than most, and they always seem to have a lesson more than just about the game of baseball, but about life in general.

Baseball movies have characters who might start out a cocky or very unlikeable, but we find ourselves liking them at the end of the movie. There are also those characters who don’t swing a bat who became memorable by how they act or what they say.

One character built his own baseball field after a voice told him so. Another character in this movie played baseball for most of his career at the minor league level, and another character on this list had one last great day on the mound in the most famous baseball park of them all in the Bronx. Did I mention all three of those characters were played by the same actor in three different movies?

In all, this list is just for fun, but maybe it helps us remember what can be great about baseball, even through the actions and feats of fictional characters from the silver screen.
