"JUST a bit outside."
Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Neil Flynn.
What Script Fact: Harry Doyle's (Bob Uecker) famous "JUST a bit outside." was ad-libbed.
Historical Fact: Ken Keltner was the 3rd baseman on the 1941 Indians whose fielding heroics helped end Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hit streak.
Location Location Fact: The home game scenes were filmed at Milwaukee's County Stadium, which has since been torn down, where Bob Uecker, who portrays announcer Harry Doyle, called games for the Brewers and played for the old Milwaukee Braves. The exterior stadium shots use Cleveland's Municipal Stadium, which has since been torn down.
Movie Magic Fact: Charlie Sheen was a high school pitcher who was offered a baseball scholarship to the University of Kansas. In the movie, he threw a 101 mph fastball, but in reality Sheen only could throw in the high 80s. Many tricks were used to make the actors seem like they were as good as their characters. For example, the pitching mound in a real baseball stadium is 60'6" away from the home plate, but to give the impression that Charlie Sheen's 85 mph fastball was traveling 100mph, they moved the mound up 10 feet and shot from behind the plate so the viewer wouldn't notice the distance difference. Also, all Wesley Snipes' running scenes are shown in slow motion to give the impression that he is running faster than he actually is.
Life Imitates Art Fact: Real-life relief pitcher Mitch Williams (with the Chicago Cubs at the time of the film's release) was inspired to model himself after the Rick Vaughn (Charlie Sheen) character. He began to wear the number 99 and had Wild Thing (1966) played when entering games, shortly earning the nickname "Wild Thing" himself. In addition, the modern day tradition of relief pitchers, mainly closers, having their own intro songs was largely inspired by this film. During the 2016 baseball season real-life Cleveland Indians players Jason Kipnis and Mike Napoli acquired two Jobu statues and set them up in a shrine in the team's locker room at Progressive Field. They initially placed an offering of vodka in it but then switched to rum, resulting in a 6-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in June. In July they even sacrificed a supermarket chicken to help end teammate Yan Gomes' slump.
I thought I recognized the announcer's voice! I have Brewer fans in the family so that must be why. There were always games on in the background.
That was very clever on how they made the actors seem like professional level players. I wish they could do better with actors trying to portray musicians!!! lol
Love the life imitates details!
You're welcome! 😁
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
OK Yes the Cleveland Indians were especially bad in the 1980's the team had not won a world series since 1954, the reason you saw CACTUS in spring training scenes early in the film is because CLEVELAND is COLD in March so the team and Other teams gather in ARIZONA for pre season training some teams go to FLorida
I have much experience with snowbelt regions so I was confused when I saw the cactus patch "in Cleveland". I shoulda known!! lolol
1948 was their last World Series ring .
The cactus you saw at the beginning was during Spring Training. The teams practice and get into shape in Feb and March before the season starts and most cities are too cold to do that at home so they go to either Florida or Arizona (cactus) for Spring Training.
When Hays went home to score the run, the catcher had to tag him with the ball (in his glove or bare hand) to get him out. Hays slid around the tag but touched home plate, so he scored. You only have to beat the throw to First Base (or on a force out), as the batter did after his bunt.
I hope you watch The Natural, my favorite baseball movie.
Ah yes, training in warmer climates makes sense. I'm still getting used to the rules and schedule of the game.
And I think I was so nervous in that final sliding scene that I didn't quite look closely enough to see if he actually touched the plate!!!
Yes, the record the Indians really had as of the filming of this movie is shown accurately in the film. They really did have a terrible reputation but got better in more recent years. Btw, the reason there are cactuses in the background when Rick rides up is the team is doing spring training in Tucson.
And they are the Guardians now
@@MGower4465 Which is a travesty as I think the renaming of teams because someone got offended by the name is a bunch of crap.
A funny baseball comedy 😅very funny. Great reaction. Yep baseball season is the longest in all sports each season is 162 games not counting spring training which is at least 15 to 20 games starts in February. Then if you make the playoffs that's another 10 plus games if you win lol. Seasons have started in March and ended in November depending on the year. Usually ends in October most of the time.. big Yankees fan here and I used to play.
Also I love your hair you hust need your little baseball hat, a glove and you're all set 😉 To answer your question the Indians or now "Guardians" they changed their name for PC reasons...anyway lol 😏 they've been a bad team at times and a good team though they rarely win in the playoffs especially if they play the Yankees 😅
Sorry forthe long post just wanted to answer all of your questions. You should watch a movie called The Fan with Wesley Snipes and Robert DeNiro, great thriller where baseball is a big part of it but also other crazy sub plots.
Oo thanks for the movie suggestion. And yes now the season length makes sense -- that's still a whole lotta games, but I think they love what they do! And I did end up borrowing a hat for a different baseball reaction! lol
@@okchristina Oh did you? Nice! I'll have to watch that one sometimes YT doesn't always notify us for every upload(it's kind of annoying but that's YT for ya) I saw your other baseball movie Bill Duram I think? So many great ones The Sandlot, For The Love of the Game, Field of Dreams, Hardball. I feel like Kurt Russell has also been in like 3 different baseball movies Bill Duram, Field of Dreams and For The Love of the Game lol. Oh yes it's a very long sports season! Yeah you have to love it for a season majority of the year haha.
I never played professionally but I did a little in high school, exhibition leagues than after that some mens and co-ed competitive fast pitch softball leagues. Similar rules with softball but a little different than baseball. And you're welcome! The Fan is a crazy movie when you do get to that you'll enjoy it I think!
The one announcer plad jacket white hair I believe his name is Bob Ucker but he is known as Mr. Baseball
I knew I recognized his voice!
Just saw a TH-cam video today about the 4k steelbook release of this film. Apparently, there was an alternate ending to this film where Lou goes to tell "the bitch" off in her office when she reveals there was never an offer to move to Miami, that the team was broke so she purposely sought out a team with potential that just needed the right motivation with Lou to succeed. She threatens to fire Lou if he tells the team just after he tries to quit. This is before the final game. They filmed her supporting the team, showed a preview the decided to take out this last minute curveball to the plot and her character and reshot her reactions for theatrical release. I think they made the right decision but seeing that cut scene is definitely recommended!
Link to a video of the alternate ending:

Yeah, right call to redo that. The "I was only oretending to motivate" isn't even a good trope.
Yes, good call!
I've been rewatching LA Law (first time since watching during its original run) and it is FANTASTIC. Can appreciate it much more now as an adult.
I bet I totally would as well. I only watched some of it back then because it was on after other shows that I did watch. Thursday night lineup, maybe? Can't remember.
@@okchristina Yep. Thursdays were the best!
The training camp is in Arizona, that's why there are cactus
The Sonoran Desert.
Makes sense! I was forgetting it was so early in spring!
I really enjoy your channel!
Oh thank you so much!!!
Corbin Bernsen was really good as the Dad in Psych too. Great actor.
He has been in a lot --- I keep seeing him pop up all the time in other stuff now! I think the most recent was on Seinfeld (as himself).
Hot Shots is a different kind of movie.
Comparing it to Major League is like comparing Star Wars to Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Yeah, they have the same actor but they're just not the same thing.
Hot Shots is insane, crazy, silliness from start to finish.
If that's what you're in the mood for, it's a great movie.
I love Hot Shots.
Major League is none of that.
It's a story of character development, growth, camaraderie, and triumph that focuses on the humans, not on the slapstick comedy.
True, it has a lot of comedy, but that's mostly pranks and dialogue rather than slapstick and sight-gags.
A very different and far more intelligent feel.
If that's what you're in the mood for, it's a great movie.
I love Major league.
There’s some serious BS going on in this channel from the viewers telling her what to watch.
@@tempsitch5632 I dunno if you meant me or not.
I'm not telling her what to watch. She's already reacted to the only movies I mentioned.
I was commenting on her comparing them and saying stuff I think she already knows, now that she's seen them.
If you didn't mean me, well, yeah, I agree. Reactors' chats are always full of requests from all over the place.
Yep -- ended up being very different!! But still liked them both!
Rule of thumb don't steal Jobu's rum!
LOL
They are called the Guardians now, after those 8 statues that you see on the opening that are located on the Hope Memorial Bridge known as The Guardians of Traffic, one if that city's most well known structures
Also, yes that is Corbin Bernsen from L.A. Law
Ah, makes sense! Clever Clevelanders!
Cerano is the Allstate guy
Oh you're right!! I knew I recognized that voice!!!
Thank you.
Trivia: Charlie Sheen was a pitcher in High School and during the movie his pitches clocked at 88 mph.
He had to have been!! His form looked dang good :)
They are pretty good now but when this was made they were bad but not the worst. 96 mph for a fastball is high end of average now,top speeds get to 102,the other day someone got to 107.2 mph. Now the league minimum pay is $740K
The numbers just keep climbing!!! Eek!
One of my top 3 baseball movies. Watch it every year in the spring.
-writer of the movie was a Cleveland fan and because they were so bad for so long thought this was the only way he’d see them win
-Cleveland won the pennant in 1995, 6 years after this movie came out
-this was a major factor in closers (then everybody) coming out to music
-Charlie Sheen was recruited for baseball in hs and was pitching in the 80s in the film (which is pretty impressive for a non athlete)
-Vagasil Pitcher Harris was modeled after a Gaylord Perry a real hall of fame pitcher that admitted to regularly cheating during his career
-many pro ball players say this one of the most accurate baseball movies because of all the interpersonal club house stuff
-Miami got a team in 1993
Fun info!! Thanks! I agree that the baseball details are pretty accurate!!
Great reaction to a sports film classic
Thanks!! It was a fun one!!!
That is Milwaukee County stadium. I remember they were asking citizens to show up for filming to have people in the stands.
Last scene is in cleveland municipal stadium
cool!
@@MovieMaker76Only the overhead blimp shot is of Cleveland Stadium. Once it cuts to the interior, it's back to Milwaukee.
@@redpillfreedom6692 incorrect. My friend was at the game. Everything else was Milwaukee.
In 1961 the Indians traded their most popular player, Rocky Colavito, and went into a 30 year slump.
Oh no!
Cactus? It's Spring Training. So they would go south for the weather.
Yes -- took me a bit to realize that one!!
"Hey bartender... Jobu needs a refill !!!"
For baseball movies you need to watch Field of Dreams and For Love Of the Game. Both Star Kevin Costner
Thanks for the recs!!!
Hitting a baseball is probably the hardest thing to do in sports. You have to hit a round ball with a round bat, also you have to determine speed, location and spin in a tenth of a second. Also, you have to not be scared of getting hit by a 95 mph plus fastball. That's why a great hitter fails 7 out of 10 times, that's a .300 batting average and can get you into the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY.
True!
Other's have said it but hope you check out the sequals to this and the one's for "Bad news bears".🙂
Also "Hardball" is worth a watch👍
I will! Thanks!!
In Major League 2 , Pedro Cerano is a Buddhist.
LOL love it!
a. Great reaction
b. You are cute
c. I am now following
d. Please do "A League of Our Own"
Thanks! *blush*
The Cleveland Indians are a real team. THESE Cleveland Indians are a total fabrication. But I'm only five minutes into the video so i'm assuming you probably sussed that out pretty early on. lol
"What's with all the cactus stuff in the background?" - Spring training takes place in Arizona(?) 'cause Cleveland's still likely covered in snow.
Yep, I FINALLY realized they were in the south for warmer weather!
Don't forget the rest of the Rockys! :)
I may have to focus on sequels in an upcoming month for a theme!
Major league isn't slapstick
You're right! I learned that as I got into it.
