WATCH ALONG: major league

FYI the guy who play Harry Doyle is Bob Eucker who was the Milwaukee brewers announcer for around 50 years. He recently died but in the movie they told him to just say whatever. He didn’t really have much for scripted lines, he just made the stuff up as he went. Also if I remember correctly, he was actually drinking during filming.

Old lady.. Puhleeeze gurl! LOL The bag he rubs is called a rosin bag. It helps him grip the ball. It's a *legal* way to have grip. Not like the guy who had Crisco and vagasil on his body . Those are not "gucci" as the kids say (I know.. roll your eyes. I understand ha ha). wow.. It's been a hot minute since I've watched this. I forgot Wesley Snipes was in it. With his hot little self. :P~~ AND baby Charlie Sheen. LOL.. yeah that haircut of his is something isn't it?

Ashleigh, im a big fan of Harrison Ford's , but didn't the 2 jack Ryan films with him win? I was so unhappy to see Blade Runner up there instead.

The original ending for Rachel Phelps the owner was it was a ruse to get them to play better and get them to band together. But they cut that ending and made her spiteful.

I have a story about watching this movie: I went to see it in with my dad. We lived in Cleveland and were big Indians (now Guardians) fans, so we were super psyched. Well in the final game, smoke started coming out from behind the screen. At first, I thought it was an interesting choice for a special effect until firefighters with axes came running in and told us to leave. Turns out the movie theater caught on fire. Everyone else ran out of the theater but my dad and I wanted to see the ending and tried staying to watch through the smoke. The firefighters had to force us out. My dad, who has now passed, tried to convince the move theater to put on the ending for me on another screen that was not on fire, but of course they had to close down the theater. It is a great memory but also may be a sign that I will never see a Cleveland baseball team win a championship.

I have a story about watching this movie: I'm a Brooklyn girl who never cared about Baseball until a friend lent me a book about the Brooklyn Dodgers. After pushing off reading it for a few weeks, I thought I'd give it a quick scan before returning it. By the time I'd reached the chapter on Jackie Robinson, I knew I was hooked and was planning writing a play. My brother, thrilled that I was interested in something not fifteenth century, took me to Yankee Stadium and explained things. My cousin, who lived near Boston, took me to Fenway Park so I could experience watching a game in an older stadium. I met Rachel Robinson twice. I met Peewee Reese and his son (and I wrote my play!) This movie was part of my baseball education, and I watched it with my brother. That rough voiced manager was James Gammon, who was a wonderful, assured supporting actor, and yes, you heard that voice and knew who was on screen! Cerrano was Dennis Haysbert the same actor who played the President on "Twenty Four" and made himself popular in some AllState commercials (the actor who played Principal Wood on "Buffy" was his brother on "Twenty-Four"). At the climactic action from Taylor, I turned to my brother and asked: "Can he really do that?" "Yes," my brother smiled back. "But only once."

Not base ball but, I think you would enjoy "Little Giants"

You asked why Willie Mays Hayes was not invited to camp. HE WAS but during the meeting at the beginning on of the board said 'this guy is dead' and she said to mark him off. This is because he shares a name sake with a previous famous player Willie Mayes.
