Just rewatched The Sandlot the other night with the kiddo.

Favorite baseball movies? A few of mine NOT IN ANY SPECIFIC ORDER

The Sandlot, A League of Their Own (#GirlPower), Major League, 42, Bad News Bears (original), Field of Dreams, Moneyball, Bull Durham

Also if you've not seen Everybody Wants Some it's a good watch, throwback to the 70s and that Dazed & Confused/Fast Times at Ridgemont style of movie

Article mentioned they pay 55k up to 120k for writers. Not sure what their department allocation looks like, but they do publicly list 402 employees. Let's just say 75k/year average for every employee. Then you have fringe benefits, often being as high as 30% of salary. Let's make it simple and go an even 100k total/employee. We're talking ~40m a year just in wages and that could be the low end. They currently have 600k subs at $65/year average. That's $39m in revenue at this moment. So already at a loss just "making payroll". Throw in costs of advertising, an office in San Francisco, legal retainer, etc and who knows what their annual losses are.

But at 1 million+ subs...maybe they hit black. They are highly scalable. What's nice with now reaching essentially every market they want to be in is they can begin to utilize economies of scale. They have been expanding so aggressively this whole time, it's not surprising they have went through various funding stages. Maybe now they can stabilize costs and reap the rewards.

Let's just hope they never get the itch to hire someone like John Adams

The Natural might be my favorite movie ever. I also love For the Love of the Game.

You're dead to me. It is the best sports movie ever made.

Bold. I honestly don't know that I could pick a "best sports movie ever" just so many great films, I think Baseball as a sport has the most/best movies though. I don't even know that I could narrow it down to a top 10 for best sports movies honestly.


One I like that's very underappreciated/unknown is Without Limits, it's about Steve Prefontaine.
