Greatest Scene in a Sports Movie
The movies
created by sch1980
Rocky - Training Montage
The Montage by which all other Montage's are judged
Rudy Rudy Rudy!
Youtube actually has real footage of the final play where Rudi sacks the QB. Movie version is better.
Any Given Sunday - Al Pacino's Game of Inches Speech
Great scene from a so-so movie. My favorite part is the look Lawrence Taylor gives after Pacino finishes the speech. You can tell he was fired up - LT isn't that good an actor.
Ty Webb's life lessons - Caddyshack
The scene that made "Mitch Cumstein" a household name.
Caddyshack - Cinderella Story
Hes got around 350 yards left. Hes gonna hit about a 5 iron...
Field of Dreams - Final Scene
A great ending to one of the best sports movies ever made.
Talladega Nights - A Nascar family dinner
Some people might say this scene doesn't belong with some of the classics. Well, just watch it and tell me it doesn't belong... seriously, watch it... or I will scissor kick you in the back of the head!
A League of Their Own - There's No Crying in Baseball!
Maybe not the greatest movie, but this clip is so funny and so memorable. Haha I love the comment at the end that Tom Hanks makes to the umpire!
Caddyshack - Cannonball Comin...
Some people may say this is too much Caddyshack for one list... those people would be wrong. Apparently, after filming cut, the director realized they had gone the entire movie without Bill Murray and Chevy Chase having a scene together. They threw something together- and the rest, as they say, is history. "We've got a pool and a pond... pond would be better for you"
The Hustler - Final Match with Fats
Paul Newman at his finest as Fast Eddie Felson. Would reprise the role for Scorsese's Color of Money in 1986, but without the same critical acclaim.
Remember the Titans - Singing together in the bus
Hoosiers - Chitwood says he'll make it
Not sure if I really think this is the best scene in the movie or not (its up there), but I felt Hoosiers deserved some representation on the list.
Pride of the Yankees - Luckiest Man on the Face of the Earth
A Classic
Bull Durham - meeting at the mound
Not sure about Bull Durham. It never really makes up its mind between being a chick flic or a sports movie. That said, this scene is classic.
Happy Gilmore - go to your home
Wanted to give Sandler some love. It was between this and the scene in the Waterboy where LT raises an important point about not smoking crack. I figured this scene resonated a little more.

You're right, no crying in baseball is a classic scene. Needed to be included. I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch other scenes too.

i am really surprised that the natural is number one right now... i just was not a big fan of the movie. and i must say i am disappointed to see my no crying in baseball clip fall to the 12 spot.
