This episode covers the full lineup: the tear-jerking mysticism of Field of Dreams, the scrappy underdog chaos of Major League, the pitch-perfect period drama of Eight Men Out, and the raw authenticity of Bull Durham. They debate whether A League of Their Own holds up (yes, obviously), revisit the enduring magic of The Sandlot, and make the case for Brockmire as the most underrated baseball TV series ever made. Plus: Star Trek baseball, Futurama's Blernsball, and a very personal Cubs moment — the day the 108-year World Series curse ended happened to be the same day Zac's son was born.</p><p><br></p><p>SHOW NOTES</p><p>Topics covered:</p><ul><li>Field of Dreams (1989)</li><li>- Eight Men Out (1988)</li><li>- Major League (1989)</li><li>- Bull Durham (1988)</li><li>- A League of Their Own (1992)</li><li>- The Sandlot (1993)</li><li>- Brockmire (TV series, IFC)</li><li>- Star Trek baseball and Futurama's Blernsball</li><li>- The 2016 Chicago Cubs World Series</li></ul><p>Fast Facts:</p><ul><li>The 2016 Cubs World Series win ended a 108-year curse — and coincided with the birth of Zac's son</li><li>- Brockmire stars Hank Azaria as a profanity-spewing minor league announcer; it's brilliant and underrated</li><li>- Bull Durham is widely considered the greatest sports movie ever made</li></ul><p>Follow us on Instagram: @jazmakeapodcast</p><p>Listen on Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | Acast</p><p>Email: jazmakeapodcast@gmail.com</p>","author_name":"John and Zac"}
