Overview

Inheriting the Cleveland Indians baseball team from her late husband, covetous ex-showgirl Rachel Phelps Margaret Whitton wants to move the franchise to Miami, primarily to take advantage of the many personal perks she's been promised by that city. But Cleveland won't yield its lease on the Indians unless the year's attendance falls below 800,000.

More About This Product

Overview

Inheriting the Cleveland Indians baseball team from her late husband, covetous ex-showgirl Rachel Phelps Margaret Whitton wants to move the franchise to Miami, primarily to take advantage of the many personal perks she's been promised by that city. But Cleveland won't yield its lease on the Indians unless the year's attendance falls below 800,000. Figuring that chances for this are already good given Cleveland's inability to win a pennant, Phelps tries to make doubly certain that the fans won't turn out by ordering the club manager to put together the worst team possible. The new players include has-been Jake Taylor Tom Berenger, blind-as-a-bat pitcher Ricky Vaughn Charlie Sheen, self-protective free agent Roger Dorn Corbin Bernsen, and Willie Mays Hayes Wesley Snipes, who is constitutionally incapable of hitting straight. Surprisingly, this band of misfits begins winning games, so Whitton decides to break their spirit by forcing them to fly from game to game in a World War II prop plane, assigning them a rickety old bus for road games, and divesting them of their precious whirlpool. Still, the team's talent and esprit de corps grows, especially after "Wild Thing" Ricky Vaughn dons a pair of glasses and is able to see where he's lobbing his 100-mile-an-hour pitches. Once the players are told that Phelps plans to dump them all whether they win the pennant or not, the team defiantly adopts an "us against the you-know-what" attitude. In a nailbiting 20-minute climax, the Indians face down their hated Yankee rivals in the pennant playoff game. The film's conclusion ties up several loose plot ends, notably the off-and-on romance between the irresponsible Berenger and his "ex" Lynn Wells Rene Russo. Though set in Cleveland, Major League was filmed virtually in its entirety in Milwaukee, with the Brewers' play-by-play announcer Bob Uecker giving a terrific performance as the Indians' drink-besotted color commentator. The film represented not only the fictional comeback of the Cleveland Indians, but the actual comeback of producer/director David S. Ward, who'd been in a professional slump for several years. Though containing few surprises, Major League was a box-office smash, inspiring a 1994 sequel, inventively titled Major League II.

    Two thumbs up for Major League!

    This is one of my all-time faves, and having it now on blu-ray is just the icing on the cake! This is R rated comedy at it's very finest! Great story and a great cast!

    Little Big League

    Best Comedy Baseball Film

    I was a kid when Major League came out and to this day still love this movie. It has that mix of comedy and baseball, a must for all baseball fans. The movie is lead by many great performaances by Charlie Sheen as Wild-Thing Vaughn, Wesley Snipes as Willy Mays Hays, Tom Berenger as the old veteran catcher, also has 24's Dennis Hasbert in a very early role as the home run hitter Pedro Sorano. This movie has so many little in jokes for fans of baseball, if you want to watch a great baseball movie then look no further then Major League. By the way skip the sequels, the second one could have been okay but they dulled down the language.

    This movie is great!

    I have seen this movie countless times & it is still funny!! All the cast memebers were terrific! I still can't believe "pedro" is "President David Palmer" from "24"!! Dennis Haysbert is a great actor. Check out the "Unit".

    Great!

    Major league is a great movie about the Cleveland Indians and their ex-showgirl owner who wants them to play bad enough so they can reloate to another city. It is a very funny movie that I have watched over and over. It never gets old.

    Laugh out loud every time you see it

    This is the funniest movie, EVER. I can watch it over and over again and still laugh out loud, every time. The writing, directing, acting, and casting all add up to make this a hilariously enjoyable film.

    Its about friggin time

    I have been waiting for ages for this movie to come out on DVD. What a shame that it took so long. I shouldn't have to say anything else. If you haven't seen this movie yet you have lived in a hole for the majority of your life.

    Pure Cleveland Nostalgia

    This movie will be one of the future classics. Bob Eucker's performance will have you doubled-over with pains from laughing hysterically. Charlie Sheen's portrayal of psychotic prisoner-turned-pitcher ''Ricky Vaughn'' is absolutely priceless. If you like baseball and love to laugh, this movie is a ''Natural!''

    Excellant movie

    Its a movie, like ''Shawshank Redemption'' that you can watch over and over again. Personally I'll be at the store when it is released on DVD to buy my copy. Heck I doubt if I'll ever take it out of my Three Disk Changer
