Any interest in the sequel? CADDYSHACK: th-cam.com/video/Kvk0SPLfTnI/w-d-xo.html Sports Reactions: th-cam.com/play/PLQHhQlj8i5drKCBd4BHrTKqZlWYMD5a7e.html
Sequels, yeah. But if you want my honest opinion, try some serious sports films. The Natural, Hoosiers, or heres one, Rollerball a dystopian future sports film.
Oh, I was at the Bills Jets game where the Bills had a man in.motion, who abruptly got under center like they were going for a quick snap, and CJ Mosley of the Jets FLEW over the offensive line... Yeah, it was a fakeout. I call that play "JUUUUST a little bit offsides!"
Then Harris getting clubbed in the head by the wild bat after the “Up your butt, Jobu.” and drinking his rum. As someone who isn’t religious, and as I got older, I’ve kind of taken it as the movie taking a kind of a swing at all the different religions fighting over who’s right and wrong, but I could just be reading too much into it.
Why does Jake get to call what pitch? The catcher is the on-field general of the team; the quarterback, so to speak. He's the only player facing the rest of the team, and who everyone else can see all at the same time, so he can direct fielders to whatever positions they should be in (shifted in, out, left, right) considering the batter, the score, runners on base, and what inning it is. He studies all the opponent's batters so he knows which pitch is best to call in any situation. He's the smart one.
The catcher needs to know what the pitcher is going to throw so he can be ready to catch it. The pitcher can't easily signal his intended pitch to the catcher because he's facing the batter. So instead, the catcher calls for a pitch, and the pitcher either throws that pitch or shakes the catcher off until the catcher calls for the pitch the pitcher *_does_* want to throw.
I was in the stands for the final scenes. The stadium shots, and all Cleveland city shots were shot in Milwaukee Wisconsin. The stadium was Milwaukee County Stadium. I was also there the night they recorded the audio and filmed the scenes for the "wild thing" music.
As an actor, Charlie Sheen had a very natural pitching motion. He said in an interview that after getting on the mound and seeing all those people in the stands, he never wanted to throw a baseball so hard in his life.
This movie has turned out to be more of a true classic than anyone would have guessed. There is a slew of reactions and commentaries on TH-cam and you would enjoy them. The announcer, Bob Uecker, is a real baseball announcer who still works for the Milwaukee Brewers and is a classic himself
I think it's a broader film than say, BULL DURHAM which has pretentions (Which, I mean... It probably fulfills those pretentions.) of being a true to life film with humor laced through than a straight up comedy like MAJOR LEAGUE. For me, while Durham is probably the better "film", MAJOR LEAGUE is just a crackerjack comedy running on all cylinders. Cast all pull their weight and the script is fun and it's tight and well paced. I think it has entered the pantheon by now for sure.
One of the best fan theories is that Jobu actually made curve balls nearly impossible to hit. That's why Cerrano wasn't able to hit a curve ball until he renounced Jobu, and why Harris pitched such an amazing game, because he had made peace with Jobu, and had him at his feet while he was warming up.
Bob Uecker, the play by play announcer for the Indians in this, is still calling some Milwaukee Brewers games for the radio station WTMJ-AM at the age of 90. He's been doing it since 1971. 14:12 The catcher suggests a pitch and the pitcher can either except it or ask for another. The reason the catcher is giving the signal is because if the pitcher gave it instead then the batter would see as well.
Fun fact: The guy who plays the Yankees' main power hitter Clu Haywood is Pete Vuckovich, who actually played in the majors for 12 seasons. But instead of a hitter, Vuckovich was a pitcher who won the Cy Young Award for the American League's top pitcher in 1982.
When this film came out, the Chicago Cubs had a relief pitcher called Mitch Williams. He was left-handed, and when he threw, he literally fell off the mound. He threw hard, and was completely out of control. The fans quickly called him "Wild Thing", borrowed from this film.
Bob Uecker is a real play by play announcer for the Milwaukee Brewers and he was also a TV actor. Most of the actors in this movie including Charlie Sheen played baseball at some competition level. The batting order is the order you bat in. It can't be changed or it's an out for batting out of order. You can bring in another player to pinch hit. Once the ball goes over the wall or yellow line if it hits something and comes back onto the field still a homerun. The stadium was the old stadium the Brewers played in so not filmed in Cleveland. You will like Major League 2 plus Caddyshack 2
FYI that announcer is Bob Uecker, a real baseball broadcaster for Milwaukee and a former player. He also has a minor acting career and was on a sitcom in the 80’s called Mr. Belvedere. He’s hilarious. He’s still going strong at 90 years old.
In baseball, the batting lineup is set at the beginning of the game for both teams and stays that way for the whole game. If a player has to leave the game (perhaps for an injury), his substitute bats in his position in the lineup. Sometimes, a pinch hitter will bat for a player and then a different player will substitute for the replaced player on the field.
6:02 If a ball in flight touches anything out of play, then the ball itself is out of play even if it richochets back onto the playing field. That scoreboard is behind the outfield wall, so a ball hitting the scoreboard is a home run.
Hey Jen, fun fact: the snoby rich player that showed up in the fancy ride with golf clubs at 3:02 is the actor who played the blonde Q that gave q his powers back in Deja Q on Star Trek The Next Generation.
I was in the crowd the first night of filming at County Stadium! I remember some of the shots they filmed with us. Overall pretty boring night but still fun. They showed Letterman up on the big scoreboard. No Charlie Sheen but everyone else.
Jen, I have 2 for you that I think you would enjoy. Both are football movies, and both are based on real people. The 1st one is Rudy. The 2nd is called Brian's Song. Really good stories and performances. Enjoy!
Yes using various substances on a baseball to get a little extra movement on the ball is a real thing. Former MLB Pitcher Gaylord Perry was infamous for doctoring baseballs/throwing spitballs. He pitched for 21 seasons and retired at the age of 45, he was inducted into The Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991.
In the "almost a comedy sports movie", you might enjoy "The Replacements" featuring a very young Keanu Reeves. It's about the brief player's strike in the National Football League many years ago, and some teams ended up hiring "just dudes to play football" (they had to be able to play a role in football, of course) so they could play the games for the fans. The movie is a highly fictionalized story about that time, but it's the same kind of fun-- cast of characters brought together in an unusual circumstance having to learn to work together.
Jake isn't a bad Catcher - he's just trying to catch a lot of Wild pitches. Bob Uecker (Harry Doyle)was born and raised in Milwaukee, and at age 90 still announces home games for the Milwaukee Brewers - he signed as a player for the Milwaukee Braves in 1954 (before I was born!) - and one of the funniest guys ever in baseball. BULL DURHAM (1988) is another baseball rom/com, but is set in the minor leagues down south.
It depends on the field. Some stadiums have a wall that is taller and you have to hit it all the way over, but I've also seen fields that have a scoreboard right above the fence. If it hits the scoreboard and bounces back in it is still a home run 👍🏼
One great sports movie to check out is the four time Academy Award winner “Million Dollar Baby” from 2004, with Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank and Morgan Freedman. Just be prepared. It’s not like any other sports movie you’ve ever seen.
Hi Jen!! I'm happy to see your reactions. The love interest in this movie seem familiar because you saw her in "Lethal Weapon 3" her name is Renee Russo. The catcher is Tom Berenger from a film you saw called "Inception" but, If you are ready to see a classic...check out Tom Berenger and Charlie Sheen in an oscar winner film before this one called "Platoon". You asked for suggestions and I would recommend "Cool Runnings" starring the late great John Candy. Enjoy!!
Catchers relay the call via hand signals to the pitcher. If he likes the pitch he will nod his head. He can also shake his head, which means he wants another pitch👍🏼
At 7:35, I think it's both! lol I could be wrong, but I think the guy training with Jake was purposefully throwing bad pitches so that he would be prepared for those bad pitches thrown to him from pitcher in actual games. Also, the catcher will get funny bouncing balls like that thrown from the fielders and/or cutoff men trying to throw someone out at home plate. Repetition and practice to prepare the catcher for all possibilities.
You can only replace batters in the lineup with "pinch hitters" or "pinch runners." You can only do that so many times though because there are only so many players on a team.
22:55 Actually it was Captain Gardiner of the ship Rachel who rescued Ishmael. Captain Gardner had his young son aboard as cabin boy and the child had been lost at see. Gardner, pleaded for help in finding his boy, even offering to pay him for his time, but Ahab had refused, not wanting to lose any time in his hunt for the White Whale. This was an extremely bad move on the part of Ahab, not exactly criminal, but highly irregular. Even today, all ships and boats are suppose to answer a distress call if they can. The coffin was a symbol in the story, but a symbol of salvation, as it was the coffin that he Ishmael used to stay afloat in the open sea until he is found by the whaleship Rachael. At the start of the book Ishmael finds a room in the Spouter in in New Bedford and mentions the owner of the in is one Peter Coffin. And it is actually Queequeg's room he rents, and when Queequeg returns unimpededly Ishmael and Queequeg become friends.
Shaving with a knife is a good way to test the edge and in my case a way to touch up after the electric. I don't use a big bowie for it though, normally just one of my Victorinox collection.
Great reaction Jen! I like this classic baseball comedy! Berenger and Sheen would go on to star in "Platoon"! Not sure if you have seen that yet? Also Renee Russo is in the "Lethal Weapon" series and the "Thomas Crown Affair". Jen you would have been a Great ballplayer or manager! You got great sports instincts!⚾ Thanks Jen ❤️💛
Some good sports movies to check out, in no particular order: Trouble with the Curve (2012) Moneyball (2011) Draft Day (2014) Miracle (2004) And though it doesn't get the love the original does, I personally enjoyed "Major League: Back to the Minors"; to get a couple of the references, you might want to watch "Major League II" first.
My fav sports comedy of all time. When this came out i was a kid who was in love with baseball. Played almost daily with neighborhood friends so needless to say we watched this movie 100 times at least. We played for a YMCA league and i remember getting a black marker and drawing a skull on my hat like Vaughn's glasses since i was also a pitcher at the time.
I don't know if it's been mentioned. There were a couple of former Major League players on the Yankees team. Oddly, the first baseman and home run hitter was a pitcher. The relief pitcher at the end of the last game was a Major League catcher.
Among sports films, I remember one that is a must-watch because of Vangelis's music - "Chariots Of Fire" (1981). :) Rene Russo is best seen in "Lethal Weapon 3 and 4" (1992 and 1998), and "Tin Cup" (1996), and in a film I highly recommend, "Freejack" (1992).
Now that you're in on baseboll, how about "A League of their own". It has Tom Hanks, Geena Davis and Madonna. And since you're in on sports. Mighty Ducks is a must-see.. That one is about a kids hockey team. That one is featuringf Emilio Esteves. A great movie as I recall it. Loved it as a kid.
The Natural (baseball w Robert Redford) or Hoosiers (basketball / Gene Hackman) are classics. The Fan with Robert DeNiro and Wesley Snipes is a sports thriller.
Here are some great sports movies. Baseball: Bad News Bears (original 1976 version), A League of Their Own (true story), Field of Dreams, The Sandlot Basketball: Hoosiers (true story), White Men Can't Jump Hockey: Miracle (true story) Golf: Tin Cup Bowling: Kingpin (great comedy) Pro Wrestling: Iron Claw (true story)
If you liked galaxy quest, "the orville" is what it might have been like as a TV show. There are only 3 seasons and it was created by seth MacFarlane, the man who created family guy and "ted".
So the lady trying to move the team to florida was originally written to just be lying. There was no offer on the team and she actively was giving them a villain to unite and work against. i prefer that version but this one works too.
Jen, the original ending for this film had the reveal that the owner lied about wanting to move the team to motivate them to succeed which she secretly wanted. The test audience hated this twist as they liked hating her so the scene I linked below was cut from the film and new reactions for her were filmed for the final game. She was shown to have changed her tune and cheering them on in the original cut. m.th-cam.com/video/XmC4IE-3eHA/w-d-xo.html
10:26 That was not a fake high five at the end. They were mockingly shading their eyes with their hand to indicate that the 'ball' had traveled a great distance and they could hardly see it anymore.
rubbing stuff on the ball for a better grip is definitely a (not legal) thing. pine tar, nail file, all kinds of things. these days it's something called spider tack.
Not a huge sports fan, but the movies always have a way of hyping you up towards the end. Great motivators to get outside or hit the gym. Loved the reaction as always Jen!!!
Jen, I think that you have seen Rene Russo in Lethal Weapons 3 & 4 and I believe you also watched the Clint Eastwood film, In the Line of Fire, that she was in.
A few minutes in and I'm hoping my blink if you miss it film debut makes it into Jen's final cut. Still miffed I can't catch, they wanted me to catch a "HR" but yeah I didn't manage that, so I'm just in the bleachers by the teepee.
Miracle is the greatest sports movie. Based on the ture story of when the NHL (professional hockey league in US and Canada) didn't allow their players to play in the olympics. So USA put together a team of players not good enough to play in the NHL and play against other countries professional players in olympics. I won't spoil it how it turned out.
The old Stadium was the ultimate dump . You could get stuck behind a girder if you bought the wrong ticket and don't ask about the troths in the Bathroom !!!!!!! Plus they shared it with the Browns so the grass was sometimes painted dirt!!!!! Bob Uecker was the play by play announcer for the Brewers so it was very real the way he called the games !!!!!! When a Cleveland teams makes the Playoffs tis crowd was calm compared to the real thing ,
That's a REAL baseball thing.....if you can get away with it. AND....the old DC-3 was, and still is as it still works for a living, the BEST airplane ever made.
Any interest in the sequel?

Yeah, don’t waste time on mediocre sequels (that most people didn’t watch anyway) when there are so many good originals out there.
To this day, if I’m watching a baseball game, I will still say “Juuust a bit outside!” when a pitch goes wide.
Oh, I was at the Bills Jets game where the Bills had a man in.motion, who abruptly got under center like they were going for a quick snap, and CJ Mosley of the Jets FLEW over the offensive line... Yeah, it was a fakeout. I call that play "JUUUUST a little bit offsides!"
“How can these guys lay off pitches that close?” 😂😂
I always say, "Throw'em the Heeeeater Ricky!"
"Ball Four... Ball Eight... Ball, and Vaughn walks the Bases Loaded con EIGHT straight pitches!"
@@cleekmaker00
12. 😁
Gotta love Bob Uecker as Harry Doyle. "JUUUST a bit outside. He tried the corner and missed."
One hit! One Damn hit!!!
I've seen the clip of Andre the Giant fake choking him.
Bob's humorous delivery makes these movies for me.
Still calling games for the Brewers.
Nobody’s listening anyway.
“You trying to say Jesus Christ can’t hit a curveball?” That line always cracks me up.
Now Harris, let’s not start a holy war here 😭
"now you come around...he's not fooled"
he said "Jesus"
Then Harris getting clubbed in the head by the wild bat after the “Up your butt, Jobu.” and drinking his rum.

Catching is so brutal on the body. Hard on the knees, shoulders, and back. They are the toughest players on the field.
Pitchers can still shake the catcher off. The biggest reason the catcher gives the sign is so the batter can’t see it.

@@LordVolkov And there is a high percentage of managers in MLB being former catchers.
@@derekfnord And a pitcher can shake off a catchers pitch selection if he doesn't like it.
RIP the original Willie Mays, he just died a few days ago.
RIP Say Hey Kid
One of the greatest to ever play the game. One of my childhood baseball heroes in the 60's along with Pee Wee Reese.
If I actually cared about baseball anymore, I'd be sad but as it is, I'll just wish his survivors the best.
Respect and Salute to The Legend
Made sure to get off the 66. Wilkie Mays deserves the best
30:55 Love an armchair heckler:

Milwaukee County Stadium and Bob Uecker, and yet they went with The Cleveland Indians as the team... I always wondered why that was.

I had to double back. I’ve watched this movie 100,000 times and I’ve never noticed Lynn’s license plate. And that’s why I love this channel 😅
After he talks that player into popping one up "Uh oh, I don't think that one has the distance!"
I was in the crowd the first night of filming at County Stadium! I remember some of the shots they filmed with us. Overall pretty boring night but still fun. They showed Letterman up on the big scoreboard. No Charlie Sheen but everyone else.
Love this movie.
Jen, I have 2 for you that I think you would enjoy. Both are football movies, and both are based on real people. The 1st one is Rudy. The 2nd is called Brian's Song. Really good stories and performances. Enjoy!
Yes for Brian's song. But Rudy is a hard pass. It's bloodsport for football.
Yes using various substances on a baseball to get a little extra movement on the ball is a real thing. Former MLB Pitcher Gaylord Perry was infamous for doctoring baseballs/throwing spitballs.

The legendary Bob Uecker makes this movie.
The Greatest Game Ever Played is a great golf movie.
Raging Bull is a boxing movie done by Martin Scorsesse with Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci in it.
One great sports movie to check out is the four time Academy Award winner “Million Dollar Baby” from 2004, with Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank and Morgan Freedman. Just be prepared. It’s not like any other sports movie you’ve ever seen.
One of the top 5 quote movies of all time.

I’ve been looking forward to this since you announced it. Enjoy!
Charlie Sheen actually was a good pitcher. He was so good that if he had not been in the movie business he could have been in the majors.
I look like a banker in this. 😂😂😂😂
The batting order cannot be rearranged. You can substitute each player once per game, but their replacement must stay in the same order in the lineup.
Forgot one, The Bad News Bears (1976), Walter Matthau. Baseball and in the little league. Another underdog movie.
22:55 Actually it was Captain Gardiner of the ship Rachel who rescued Ishmael. Captain Gardner had his young son aboard as cabin boy and the child had been lost at see. Gardner, pleaded for help in finding his boy, even offering to pay him for his time, but Ahab had refused, not wanting to lose any time in his hunt for the White Whale.

At the start of the book Ishmael finds a room in the Spouter in in New Bedford and mentions the owner of the in is one Peter Coffin. And it is actually Queequeg's room he rents, and when Queequeg returns unimpededly Ishmael and Queequeg become friends.
Shaving with a knife is a good way to test the edge and in my case a way to touch up after the electric. I don't use a big bowie for it though, normally just one of my Victorinox collection.
Great reaction Jen! I like this classic baseball comedy! Berenger and Sheen would go on to star in "Platoon"! Not sure if you have seen that yet? Also Renee Russo is in the "Lethal Weapon" series and the "Thomas Crown Affair". Jen you would have been a Great ballplayer or manager! You got great sports instincts!⚾ Thanks Jen ❤️💛
All the lethal weapon movies are on Jen's channel she loved them
Never watched a game of baseball in my life but my favourite sports movie is Major League and my favourite movie is Moneyball
Once the batting order is set that's it. You can substitute players, but they will still be in the original batter's spot in the order.
Some good sports movies to check out, in no particular order:
Trouble with the Curve (2012)
Moneyball (2011)
Draft Day (2014)
Miracle (2004)
And though it doesn't get the love the original does, I personally enjoyed "Major League: Back to the Minors"; to get a couple of the references, you might want to watch "Major League II" first.

Among sports films, I remember one that is a must-watch because of Vangelis's music - "Chariots Of Fire" (1981). :)
Rene Russo is best seen in "Lethal Weapon 3 and 4" (1992 and 1998), and "Tin Cup" (1996), and in a film I highly recommend, "Freejack" (1992).

Jen, you're such a gifted reactress. Obviously baseball is not a big part of your life, but you made a fun reaction anyway. Well done, fun lady!
Thanks kevin!
Now that you're in on baseboll, how about "A League of their own". It has Tom Hanks, Geena Davis and Madonna.
And since you're in on sports. Mighty Ducks is a must-see.. That one is about a kids hockey team. That one is featuringf Emilio Esteves. A great movie as I recall it. Loved it as a kid.
The Natural (baseball w Robert Redford) or Hoosiers (basketball / Gene Hackman) are classics. The Fan with Robert DeNiro and Wesley Snipes is a sports thriller.
Love that randy newman song at the beginning
If it goes over the outfield wall, it's a home run. :) So, scoreboard, yes it's a home run.
1982 - Victory Escape, true story: Michael Cane, Sly Stallone, Edson Arantes Do Nacimiento "Pele"...
Bull Durham is a classic! I highly recommend it Jen
You have to present your line up ahead of time and if someone bats out of order it could result as an automatic out.
Cool reaction as always Jen
Wild Thing!!!!!!!!!! 🤣🤣👋👋🤗🤗💖💖
Here are some great sports movies.

*Lots of fun, Jen!* 🙂
Gods honest truth: After seeing this movie for the first time, I read Moby Dick… just so I could say I read it “cover to cover babe”
If you liked galaxy quest, "the orville" is what it might have been like as a TV show. There are only 3 seasons and it was created by seth MacFarlane, the man who created family guy and "ted".
It’s been a long time since I’ve thought about Mr. Belvedere, but here we are.
This is billed as a comedy, but this is a great movie, with a great cast, and is one of the best baseball movies ever.
I can never resist singing Wild Thing along with this movie. 😄
So the lady trying to move the team to florida was originally written to just be lying. There was no offer on the team and she actively was giving them a villain to unite and work against. i prefer that version but this one works too.
Jen, the original ending for this film had the reveal that the owner lied about wanting to move the team to motivate them to succeed which she secretly wanted. The test audience hated this twist as they liked hating her so the scene I linked below was cut from the film and new reactions for her were filmed for the final game. She was shown to have changed her tune and cheering them on in the original cut.

I only really know baseball movies, but both 42 and Moneyball are excellent if you want more of those! Not comedies, but excellent films!
Jen is already wearing the glasses!!!
I don’t know if you recognize Corbin Bernsen who played Roger Dorn. He played the second Q.
10:26 That was not a fake high five at the end. They were mockingly shading their eyes with their hand to indicate that the 'ball' had traveled a great distance and they could hardly see it anymore.
I meant the guy running over home plate and then he fake high fives no one, not the 2 guys watching. 10:14
rubbing stuff on the ball for a better grip is definitely a (not legal) thing. pine tar, nail file, all kinds of things. these days it's something called spider tack.
Remember the Titans, Field of Dreams, Rudy
Remember the titans is on Jen's channel 👍
Knew you'd like this, while it's been decades since I've seen it, I am to recall liking the sequel as well
Can this hilarious disposable 90s music be Jen's theme song please? 9:44 LOL IT'S SO GOOFY I LOVE IT
Not a huge sports fan, but the movies always have a way of hyping you up towards the end. Great motivators to get outside or hit the gym. Loved the reaction as always Jen!!!
If I'm doing something that I can't get quite right I will sometimes say under my breath fuck you Jobu when I get frustrated.
By the Sword starring F. Murray Abraham and Eric Roberts. Sport is fencing.
Jen, I think that you have seen Rene Russo in Lethal Weapons 3 & 4 and I believe you also watched the Clint Eastwood film, In the Line of Fire, that she was in.
A few minutes in and I'm hoping my blink if you miss it film debut makes it into Jen's final cut. Still miffed I can't catch, they wanted me to catch a "HR" but yeah I didn't manage that, so I'm just in the bleachers by the teepee.
Miracle is the greatest sports movie. Based on the ture story of when the NHL (professional hockey league in US and Canada) didn't allow their players to play in the olympics. So USA put together a team of players not good enough to play in the NHL and play against other countries professional players in olympics. I won't spoil it how it turned out.
Diggin the content you do Jen. New fan. Keep up the great work.🤘
The old Stadium was the ultimate dump . You could get stuck behind a girder if you bought the wrong ticket and don't ask about the troths in the Bathroom !!!!!!! Plus they shared it with the Browns so the grass was sometimes painted dirt!!!!! Bob Uecker was the play by play announcer for the Brewers so it was very real the way he called the games !!!!!! When a Cleveland teams makes the Playoffs tis crowd was calm compared to the real thing ,
Because the pitcher and the catcher need to both know what the pitch is going to be and the batter can't see the catcher.
Underdog feel-good sports comedy from the '80s with an awesome soundtrack? Two words: Teen Wolf.
1 god-damned hit!
You can't say god-damned on air
Dont worry no ones listening.
😂😂😂😂😂
That's a REAL baseball thing.....if you can get away with it. AND....the old DC-3 was, and still is as it still works for a living, the BEST airplane ever made.
Being an Aussie I don't like baseball but i love this movie though
