Dream, Ray Liotta (voice) as Shoeless Joe Jackson from Field of Dreams (1989)
[Shoeless Joe Jackson has asked Terence Mann to come with them to the cornfield, but Ray is upset because he wasn't invited]
Ray Kinsella: I did it all, I listened to the voices, I did what they told me, and not once did I ask what's in it for me!
Shoeless Joe Jackson: What are you saying, Ray?
Ray Kinsella: I'm saying... what's in it for me?
Shoeless Joe Jackson: Is that why you did this? For you? I think you better stay here, Ray.
...
Ray Kinsella: What are you grinning at, you ghost?
Shoeless Joe: "If you build it -" [gestures toward catcher, who is Ray's father, John Kinsella] "- he will come."
Ray : "Ease his pain. Go the distance." It was him!
Shoeless Joe: No, Ray. It was you.

AFI #054 Tom Hanks as Jimmy Dugan from A League of Their Own (1992)
[Evelyn starts to cry.]
Jimmy: Are you crying? Are you crying? Are you crying? There's no crying in baseball!
Doris Murphy: Why don't you give her a break, Jimmy?
Jimmy: Oh, zip it, Doris! Rogers Hornsby was my manager and he called me a talking pile of pig shit - and that was when my parents drove all the way down from Michigan to see me play the game! And did I cry?
Evelyn: (inbetween sobs) No, no, no ...
Jimmy: Yeah, no! And do you know why?
Evelyn: No ...
Jimmy: Because there's no crying in baseball. There's no crying in baseball--no crying!
