Greatest Sports Moment in a Movie

- Jennifer Jason Leigh losing 'it' in the little league dugout in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

That last one might not really count
Dude, she lost it in her pool cabana...Damone walked her home, they were going for a swim, he pumped twice and made her a woman. Then ditched her when it was abortion time.

Some classic moments. Here are a few of mine:
- Benny's Grand Slam against the Little League team in The Sandlot, or if you prefer, the chase scene with Hercules (another underrated movie)
- Hitting the 3 wood into the cup with the last ball on the 72nd Hole of the US Open in Tin Cup
- Depansing the Private School snob during the roller hockey game in Airborne
- Wild Thing striking out Clue Haywood (Harry Doyle: Heywood leads the league in most offensive categories, including nose hair. When this guy sneezes, he looks like a party favor.) to win the AL East in Major League
- Ricky Bobby racing Jean Girard to the finish line in Talledega Nights
- Henry Rowengartner striking out Butch Heddo with the floater in Rookie of the Year
- Getting Ken Griffey Jr out with the hidden ball trick in Little Big League
- Billy Hoyle finally dunking in White Men Can't Jump
- Charlie Conway's triple deke to beat the Hawks in The Mighty Ducks

I'll have to think of some more...

She lost it towards the beginning of the movie in the dugout with the college guy, who thought she was 18. The song "Somebody's Baby" played in the background.

Then later she got knocked up by Damone in the pool house.

AMD's right. Thinking about that reminded me about another great sport moment in that movie. When Spicoli and Forrest Whittaker's little brother wreck his car and then blame it on the rival team. Forrest Whittaker's character (Jefferson?) goes off on the other team.

Whittaker looks like the love-child of Lawrence Thomas* and LaVar (c. 2002) when he's tearing the other team apart.


*EDIT- I'm an idiot, but I won't change it.

Ha, what a classic moment.

Is Lawrence Thomas the love-child of Lawrence Taylor and Derrick Thomas?

Damnit, I'm drunk.

It didn't look right when I wrote it. Obviously it wasn't.

The final play in Friday Night Lights. Heartbreaking, but as a member of the audience, you died with those kids on that play. That movie was real good, they had you into it the whole way.

The TV show is mighty fine, too.
