Tonight was the start of year three of Summer Flicks. Each summer, Paul and I watch a few baseball movies with friends of the podcast. This year's category is "Baseball Dramas." First up was Field of Dreams with Scott from Iowa.
A core component to every Summer Flicks viewing is live-tweeting our experience. Here are the 10 best tweets from the best baseball movie of all time.
Sandlot reminds how amazing baseball is a a kid. Field of Dreams captures what it's like as an adult. Great movie. Thanks @afootinthebox

The hitch-hiker pick-me-up is a central element to my two favorite movies, yet it's becoming a lost art in America #afitbsummerflicks

Baseball is here! And more importantly, that means the over/under game is back. It seems as though everyone is an expert this time of year. Somehow we convince ourselves that we are better at predicting baseball outcomes than everyone else. Well, AFITB is putting that to the test for the third year in a row. Think you know more about baseball than us? You probably do. But go ahead and prove it anyway.
