The 50 Best Sports Movies Ever

47. Hardball (2001)

One of the most tragic deaths in the history of cinema is when G-Baby gets hit by a stray bullet and dies in his older brother’s arms.

This movie stars Keanu Reeves as a gambler who is in serious debt and gets paid $500 a week to coach a little league team made up of a group of street-kids. One of those kids just happened to turn into a massive star, as Michael B. Jordan plays Jamal, the oldest kid on the team.
