If you like baseball movies the Paradise Recreation and Park District might have just the place for you. The district has started a free monthly movie series surrounding baseball movies.
The first movie was held last month at Bille Park Meadow and it was the classic “The Sandlot”. On July 15, the district will host the 1989 film “Field of Dreams” at 8:30 p.m. at Pine Ridge school.
The baseball film starring Kevin Costner was nominated for three Oscars in 1990, including best film. “Driving Miss Daisy” won the best film award that year.
The field where the movie was filmed in Dyersville, Iowa, will host the Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees on Aug. 12. One of the characters in the film, Shoeless Joe Jackson, played for the White Sox.
Those attending the movies can buy hotdogs, soda, popcorn, candy and pizza through the snack bars at the individual sites.
The district does not allow outside food or drink but those interested can bring lawn chairs and their picnic blankets.
The August film will be “A League of Their Own” on Aug. 12, and that will be at Bille Park Meadow. That movie starred Tom Hanks, Geena Davis and Madonna.
The September film will be “42: The Jackie Robinson Story” on Sept. 9 at Pine Ridge school starting at 7:30 p.m.
Robinson broke the color barrier and became the first African American to play Major League Baseball for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.
The 2013 film stars the late Chadwick Boseman (Robinson), along with Nicole Beharie, T.R. Payne and Harrison Ford.
On Oct. 14, “Moneyball” will start at 6:30 p.m. at Terry Ashe Center. The Brad Pitt film is about how Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane put together the team on a small budget with computer-generated analysis.
The film was adapted from the 2003 book “Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game” by Michael Lewis. That will be the last film of the series before the PRPD hosts a live viewing of the 2021 World Series. PRPD has yet to determine the site for that live viewing, but the World Series is scheduled to run from Oct. 26 to Nov. 3.
