There should be baseball right now. Baseball fields across the world should be ringing with the cracks of bats, the thumps of catchers' gloves, the voices of umpires and boys and men of all ages. There is not. It's unknown if live baseball will return this year in any capacity. Until it does, the best baseball movies around will have to suffice.

Here are 10 great baseball movies to tide you over until live baseball starts again. Ken Burns' Baseball and Jackie Robinson are TV miniseries, so they're outside this list's purview. They're worth watching nonetheless.

Field of Dreams - 7.5

This classic baseball flick is an adaptation of W.P Kinsella's novel Shoeless Joe. In the film, a mysterious voice compels an Iowa farmer played by Kevin Costner to build a baseball field on his land. When he does, the eight men banned from baseball after the 1919 Black Sox scandal emerge from his cornfields. The farmer's journey eventually leads him to meet several individuals who were once baseball players and allows them to relive their dreams. The farmer also reconnects with his father at the seemingly magical baseball field. The voice's identity has never been revealed, in both the film and real life.

The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg - 7.6

Hank Greenberg is one of the most prominent Jewish baseball players ever. He's often considered one of the best power hitters in baseball history and became the first Jewish player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Greenberg is also famous for refusing to play on the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur, even when his Detroit Tigers were in the middle of a playoff race. Life and Times is a documentary about Greenberg and the antisemitism he faced during his playing days. The documentary weaves archival footage and interviews together to create a picture of a trailblazer in American sports.

Moneyball - 7.6

Billy Beane watches baseball in Moneyball

Based on the book, Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, Moneyball is a dramatization of the 2002 Oakland Athletics season. General manager Billy Beane popularized the use of advanced statistics (aka "sabermetrics") to put together a competitive team on a small-market budget. Beane assesses players' on-base percentage to trade and sign players that match his plan for the team. The team wins the American League West division title and goes on a recording-setting winning streak. However, they eventually lose in the playoffs.

The film received six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Brad Pitt as Beane and Best Supporting Actor for Jonah Hill as statistics wunderkind Peter Brandt.

4192: The Crowning of the Hit King - 7.7

Pete Rose is one of the most controversial baseball figures in history. The Cincinnati Reds legend holds the record for the most hits in Major League Baseball history, but he was banned from baseball in 1989. He admitted to betting on games he participated in as both a player and manager. 4192 focuses on Rose's efforts to break the all-time hits record. It edges close to hagiography, but also acknowledges Rose's faults as a person. However, it ultimately concludes that those faults also helped him break the long-standing record.

The Pride of the Yankees - 7.7

The Pride of the Yankees is a biopic about New York Yankees legend Lou Gehrig. Gehrig is perhaps most well-known for giving his name to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) after dying of the disease in 1941. During his career, he set a record for the most consecutive career games played with 2, 130. Gary Cooper plays Gehrig in the 1941 biopic, which focuses on his relationships with around him and his impact on society. The film closes with a reenactment of Gehrig's famous speech that begins "Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth."

Long Gone - 7.8

Bleacher Report once called Long Gone "the best baseball movie none of you ever saw." The comedy focuses on the Tampico Stogies, a lowly Class-D minor-league in the 1950s. Their manager, a former minor league sensation, signs several new players to the team. These include an African American catcher who must pretend he's Venezuelan to avoid the Ku Klux Klan in the Deep South. The thrust of the film concerns a match-fixing plot the team must overcome to win the Gulf Coast League's pennant.

Unfortunately, the film is hard to obtain on Blu-ray, DVD or streaming.

61* - 7.8

In 1961, New York Yankees sluggers Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris were both making a run at Babe Ruth's single-season home run record. Baseball's commissioner stated that because Ruth set his record in 154 games, any subsequent record set in 162 games would have an asterisk. This Billy Crystal-directed dramatization focuses on the media attention the race brought to the two men; the media turned the reserved Maris into a villain and the outgoing Mantle into the hero of the story. Mantle and Maris didn't care too much about their supposed rivalry.

Maris eventually broke the record in the 162nd game of the season. In 1991, commissioner Fay Vincent ordered that Maris' record would be the only single-season home run record.

The Sandlot - 7.8

Baseball movie

This coming-of-age comedy is the right age for a critical reappraisal. 27 years after its release, the story of Scotty Smalls, Benny Rodriguez and a ragtag band of seventh graders in the San Fernando Valley is the epitome of baseball movie nostalgia to a generation of fans. It's a remarkably easy watch with memorable characters and lines, chief among them portly catcher "Ham" Porter yelling "You're killin' me, Smalls!" Its' easygoing vibe and happy ending make it the perfect baseball movie for quarantine.

Catching Hell - 7.9

Catching Hell was the 32nd installment in ESPN's 30 for 30 documentary series. Directed by Oscar-winner Alex Gibney, the film examines Steve Bartman and his relationship with the Chicago Cubs after he supposedly doomed the team in the 2003 NLCS. Bartman caught a foul ball that many fans contend could have been caught by Cubs outfielder Moises Alou and ended a Florida Marlins rally. Bartman didn't actually doom the team, but that didn't stop Cubs fans from giving him endless grief about the catch. He quickly retreated from the spotlight and has had an icy relationship with the team.

The Battered Bastards of Baseball - 8.0

The Battered Baseballs of Baseball is a 2014 Netflix documentary about the Portland Mavericks, a Class-A Short Season team in the 1970s. The Mavericks were an independent team and operated without major league backing. This allowed them to break many of the conventional rules of baseball. Many players had otherwise been rejected by organized ball and the team took headshots of its players downing beers with their hats on backward. The strategy worked and the team broke attendance records during its brief and bright existence.

The team was owned by Bing Russell, father of actor Kurt Russell. Kurt Russell played for the team during its short stint and also served as a vice president. He is one of many former players who appears in the documentary.
