That’s the one where he plays baseball in Japan right? Man I forgot about that flick. I remember enjoying it as a kid. Haven’t seen it since. Might need to revisit it.

LINK ]The United States Steel Hour — "Bang The Drum Slowly" (September 26, 1956)
A dimwitted but good-hearted hillbilly, the third string catcher for a major league baseball club, learns he is dying from an incurable disease, and the star pitcher tries to keep him on the team as long as possible...
A live TV production adapted from the novel by Mark Harris, this is one of the best entries in the sports tearjerker subgenre. Although it's not exactly a comedy, the tone is surprisingly lighthearted for most of the action.
As the pitcher, Paul Newman is on the cusp of stardom and shows the beginnings of his soon-to-be-famous screen persona, rascally charm mixed with impertinence.
The doomed catcher is played by character actor Albert Salmi, who is excellent. And in the small role of the hotshot replacement catcher, George Peppard makes his TV debut.
The theatrical handling, with Newman speaking directly to the camera and weaving in and out of scenes, is very effective.
Worth a watch, and actually a must-see for Newman fans.

Costner makes my list three times. By extension, while Tin Cup is a golf film, his character gets his nickname 'Tin Cup' as a result of high school baseball experiences... therefore, I put Tin Cup in as an 'honorable mention'.

I haven't seen it since I was a teenager so I can't remember if it's truly good or if it was just good because I didn't know any better but I always really enjoyed Micky with Harry Connick Jr in it. basically his dad is a tax evader and they run away and get new identities and Daniel becomes Micky and starts to dominate little league and carries his team to the LLWS.
