Major League (1989)

Dana and Tom discuss one of their favorite baseball movies that has a lot of personal sentimental value for Dana in Major League (1989): directed and written by David S. Ward; starring Tom Berenger, Corbin Bernsen, Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes, and Bob Uecker.

Plot Summary: Former Las Vegas showgirl Rachel Phelps (Margaret Whitton) inherits the Cleveland Indians baseball team from her deceased husband. Phelps hates Cleveland and wants to relocate the team to Miami, but to do so she needs attendance for the entire season to be below 800,000. Determined to put together the worst team in the major leagues so there is no fan interest, Phelps hires Lou Brown (James Gammon) to manage a team of nobodys and has-beens including overpriced Roger Dorn (Corbin Bersen), voodoo-practicing Cuban-defector, Pedro Cerrano (Dennis Haysbert), catcher Jake Taylor (Tom Berenger), a brash speedster, Willie Mays Hays (Wesley Snipes), and a former felon pitcher, Rick Vaughn (Charlie Sheen). Will Phelps get the team she desperately wants or will they put it all together?
