Along with war and military films, any film about sports will grab my attention to the fullest. I have always been a sports fanatic and like war films, the history goes hand and hand. In 2002 I jumped at the opportunity to go to the location Field of Dreams was produced. Rudy, The Natural, Hoosiers, Bull Durham, Ali, The Hurricane, and any of the Rocky films are just…
