Variety, the entertainment industry’s leading trade publication, published its Los Angeles Dodgers 50th Anniversary issue this week. Organized by Dodger Thoughts writer Jon Weisman, the Hollywood-centric baseball special contained two pieces by Alex Belth, one on the top ten baseball movies and one on ten movies that used baseball as a plot device.
