Today’s installment of 73 Sports Movies in 73 Days is the 1998 sports spoof BASEketball, which starred Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who are obviously much better known as the guys who gave us South Park.

Unfortunately, some people don’t share my love of BASEketball, so as I was watching it this afternoon, I checked Rotten Tomatoes for the movie’s worst reviews and paired them with the appropriate responses.
