Movies with Balls is equal parts fandom, analysis, and nerdiness. It’s a wonderful time.”—Shea Serrano, New York Times best-selling author of Movies (and Other Things)
Featuring original illustrations of fantasy memorabilia, ticket stubs, and playmaps, Movies with Balls will make you want to rewatch the movies you already love, and discover gems you’ve never seen. Play ball!

If you’re the kind of fan who cheers every single time you watch Rocky beat Drago, or remembers who said “Be the ball, Danny” and “If you build it, he will come,” this is the book for you.
Movies with Balls celebrates and analyzes more than two dozen of the greatest sports films of all time, with expert play-by-play and color commentary on the movies themselves and the athleticism they portray. You’ll be transported into fictional arenas, stadiums, gyms, fields, and golf courses to relive the climactic moments from: 
  • Caddyshack
  • The Natural
  • Field of Dreams
  • Dodgeball
  • The Karate Kid
  • Rocky IV
  • The Waterboy
  • Bend it Like Beckham
  • Creed
  • And many more!
