In “10 great baseball movies” (Arts and Entertainment, April 6), the writer missed three of my favorites. I’d amend his list to include the 1988 historical drama “Eight Men Out,” about the Chicago “Black Sox” of 1919, and two comedic fantasies, the original “Angels in the Outfield” (1951), starring Paul Douglas as a hapless manager whose professional and personal fortunes change with a little heavenly help, and “It Happens Every Spring” (1949), with Ray Milland as a chemistry prof whose discovery of a wood-resistant substance enables him to exchange cap and gown for a successful, if abbreviated, pitching career.
