Studying Film

It's MLB opening day, and the Rangers just took the field in Arlington. There's a lot about baseball that appeals to puzzlers like us. First of all, you know we love outdoor competition. Secondly, there's something about a game built on statistics that gets our nerve endings firing. 

In celebration, we created a puzzle that's all about baseball, by which I mean it's just barely about baseball. Check it out.

A lot of movie titles include the names of Major League Baseball teams. The films clued below only include SINGULAR versions of team names.
