Bob Uecker is so beloved among baseball fans that a larger than life bronze statue of him was erected in Milwaukee, _just a bit outside_ of the baseball stadium.
That's awesome
An INSIDE the stadium up in the uecker seats
I love Ueker, but in milwaukee are criminal leaders find ways to steal money. Hell I have a gold statue in my front yard the tax payers bought for me. Guy down the street had a fake mountain built just so he could have a mount rushmore of himself. Wasting money is what Milwaukee is known for. We got no ideas, but someone gotta steel the money, right?
"You telling me Jesus Christ can't hit a curve ball?!" Is one of my all-time favorite movie quotes.
That and Bob Uecker's quote of "This guy threw at his own kid at a father/son game" 😂
Mine too and it's like " oh shut the fuxk up"
"Don't give me this Olé bullshit"
"he's a convicted felon, right? Well, he should be" lol
You want me to take him outside and beat the shit out of him?
Fly ball. Caught.
I was actually there, in the stands, when this movie was filmed. I grew up outside of Milwaukee, and the local radio put out the call for people to fill the seats so the final game could look more realistic. My friends and I all took the day off from our restaurant jobs and answered that call. It was extremely fun, and exceedingly boring at the same time, but food and drink was discounted. You can actually see one of our crew - Trixy - dancing in the aisle for a split second in one scene.
Great reaction! Thank you!
Only discounted?
@@blechtic Might have been free. I think I remember free hot dogs. Maybe soda also. We were very drunk most of the time. We snuck our own vodka in and made the best of a long day.
I was there when they were filming the final game and getting all the shots with the bleachers in the background. If you stop at just the right second when Wild Thing is walking out of the dugout you can find me. One of the shots they were getting were some when Vukie was batting and the camera was behind the ump. He was supposed to only swing strikes but goofed occasionally and hit the ball, which brought cheers from us. We got yelled at a few times by the assistant director. You are right, it was boring a lot of the time. Corbin Bernsen's mother was visiting the set and she sat on a stool in the warning track for some of the down time and talked to Y&R fans sitting in the bleachers.
That is so freaking cool....
If you’d like another sports comedy that is frequently overlooked by many, I always thought the college football flick “Necessary Roughness” was a hilariously good watch.
YES! Absolutely this!
One of my favorite sports movies!
"I don't want 'em to die. I want 'em to *win*."
I'm aging myself by saying I remember Bob Ueker as the dad on Mr. Belvidere and then discovered his baseball background through this movie.
Mr Belvidere was a great show
How about "Must be in the front row"
I love Mr Belvedere when I was a kid! Haven't seen that show in a long time now I'm going to have to go look it up for nostalgia's sake!
I remember learning that Bob Ueker was a real sportscaster. My uncle was listening to the Brewers broadcast on the (out-of-market) radio. I joked about how much the play-by-play announcer sounded so stereotypical. Almost "Like the guy in 'Major League.'" My father and my uncle look at me, "That IS the guy from 'Major League.'"
"HE'S REAL?!?! I always thought he was a fictional character!"
One of the funniest sports comedy movies ever made.
Up there with Slap Shot
I graduated HS in June of 89, and several friends had summer jobs working at the Cineplex, and I saw more movies over the next 2 years than I probably saw in my life. Major League was one of those movies, and while the majority of films I saw I could take or leave, every once in awhile you saw a real gem, and this was one of those films. This was an amazing sports comedy and I place it along side the best(Bad News Bears, Caddy Shack, ETC.), but Bob Uecker was probably the highlight for me, as he owned every scene he was in. While part 2 wasn't as good, it was a solid follow-up that deserves a viewing, Black Hammer & White Lightning anyone? LOL
The Sentinels were from the movie the Replacements. Commanders is what they're called in DC now.
They should’ve called them the Sentinels lol. Would have been way cooler
The guys in the warmups were having to run half speed to make Snipes look like a fast runner. Snipes also had to practice a lot to consistently hit popups. Reportedly all of them had fun making the movie and a lot of MLB players adopted the movie as their mascot.
This isn't just a funny movie. It makes you feel good to watch. Wonderful film.
Big Brewers fan here. Bob Uecker is still calling our home game on the radio at the age of 89. He started calling Brewer games in the early 70s after his baseball playing days were over. He was a frequent guest on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He is in the Baseball Hall of Fame as a broadcaster after winning the 2003 Ford C. Frick Award. His acceptance speech is legendary and is well worth watching. Last time I checked it is here on TH-cam. His line "Juuuusst a bit outside" is my notification sound on my phone. Most of the ballpark scenes were filmed at the old Milwaukee County Stadium, where the Brewers played until Miller Park/American Family Field opened in 2001. The Braves played there from 1953 when they moved from Boston until 1965 before they moved to Atlanta the following season. Pete Vuckovich, who played Clu Haywood, the guy who hit those home runs off Ricky Vaughn, is a former Brewers pitcher who won the Cy Young Award in 1982.
You forgot Mr. Belvedere
@@Tateorsomething I didn't forget. I just listed some of the more baseball related trivia.
And in an odd little case of 6 degrees of separation it would be the Braves that Cleveland would lose to in their first World Series since 1948 (it was also the Brave's first World Series victory since the move to Atlanta there last one had been in Milwaukie in 1957). I lived in Atlanta for almost 20 years and went to many games at both Fulton County and Turner Field.
Bob still alive?! Wow! Awesome!
Bob was part of St. Louis Cardinals when team won 1964's World Series.
“Juuust a bit outside!” is my go to quote. Love it.
And hey, my Cubs also best Cleveland in the World Series, but dammit, it was 108 years for us! 😁
“It’s very bad to take Jobu’s Rum…..very bad.”😂😂
This is probably my favorite baseball movie ever.
Up your butt Jobu.
I say that line almost every time I take a shot.
Jobu needs a refill, as a bat hits him in the head.😂
The actor playing Cerrano was also in "Mr. Baseball", also batting.
Btw, I strongly advice Mr. Baseball. ❤
Definitely an underlooked baseball film.
"Baseball's a game and games are supposed to be fun..."
I loved that movie and when I moved to Japan, I was so happy to see the local team was the Dragons. I’ve been to many games at the Nagoya Dome.
Pedro Cerrano was played by Dennis Haysbert, who is most well known for having played President David Palmer on the FOX action drama series 24 with Kiefer Sutherland, and Sergeant Major Jonas Blane on the CBS action drama series The Unit.
I remember him best as the back up driver in Heat.
And All State insurance (I think)
He also starred in 'Waiting To Exhale' with Witney Houston, Angela Bassett, Whoopi Goldberg, Loretta Devine, Gregory Hines, and Lela Rochon. He was Whitney Houston's boyfriend. Great, great movie!
He's also in another baseball movie with Tom Selleck, "Mr. Baseball"
He also starred as Detective Sergeant John Almond, who was a minister in his off time, in Backstrom. Only one season, alas.
I really liked the spring training parts better. My favorite line, "Come on Dorn get in front of the ball, don't give me this olé bullshit".
Washington is the Commanders now; Sentinels is the fictional name of the Washington football team in "The Replacements"
I'm from Cleveland, I've seen this movie easily 200 times. I still get teary-eyed every single time Bob Uecker screams "Oh my God the Indians win it" to this day. Fun fact, the Indians (now Guardians) have been to the World Series three times since this movie came out, and went to Game 7 twice. We're still waiting for a championship.
After I first saw this I started following the Indians and I'm English. Bull Durham is another good baseball film.
I have a theory that Charlie Sheen character in this movie is the same person from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" from the police station scene.
Jake consoling Ricky after a game: That ball wouldn't have gone out of a lot of parks.
Ricky: Name one.
Jake: Yellowstone.
That’s Major League 2
*JUUUUST A BIT OUTSIDE*
Bob definitely stole the whole show. I was hoping to comment on his earlier career as a commentator for the Brewers but I kind of figured Hubby knew it already, that man always comes prepared. This has to be one of if not my absolute favorite sports comedies only one I think comes close is "Necessary Roughness" a football comedy I hope to see you guys do someday.
Keep us the good work.
☮Peace☮
The assistant coach's line "Look at this fuckin guy" when Vaughn shows up is one of my favorites
Before Cleveland lost to Miami in the world series,they lost to the Atlanta Braves in 1995
That’s right. 1-0
@@realisticthought1781 I remember it well cause I am a diehard Braves fan from when they moved to Atlanta in 1966
Great reaction as always!!! Another film from "Major League" director David S. Ward that would be worth watching if you two have not already seen it (and if its not apart of your watchlist) is the criminally underrated college football drama "The Program" (1993), starring James Caan, Omar Epps, Craig Sheffer, Halle Berry, and Kristy Swanson.
Totally agree
A super cut of Bob Ueker’s scenes from the various movies would still be pretty entertaining, with no other context.
Now for: "The Replacements" and "Hoosiers"
They have already reacted to "Hoosiers" (it's on their channel)
The Replacements is a good one for them to react to though.
Necessary Roughness is better and first. Replacements is a blatant copy.
@@jkhoover While very similar, in certain aspects (Under Dog Story) I think that both have a place in "Sports Movie Comedies"
NR is more about young over looked players coming into their own, and
TR is more about mostly washed up players getting one more chance at Glory.
My wife and I love this movie and the announcer is bob uecker he's also the Milwaukee brewers announcer
All these years later, I can still watch this movie start to finish. The characters and the quotes I still use today, especially “Look at this F*>£ing Guy” and “Who give’s a sh*t it’s gone” But I love the underlying theme about everyone from all walks of life rallying around the team.
The Replacements would be a great followup review.
So much wicker????😂😂😂😂😂😂. And they are the Washington Commanders. Shane Falco is the starting quarterback of the Washington Sentinels.😉
"Between me and my roommate, we've hit 400 Major League home runs."
Bob Uecker's roommate at the time was Eddie Matthews. Who at the time had 399 Major League home runs.....
Bob Uecker is a national treasure.
**** If it looks like CHARLIE SHEEN knows what He's Doing, that's because He Does! He went to Kansas University on a BASEBALL Scholarship. So beloved was the VAUGHAN Character that you can still see RICKY VAUGHAN Jerseys in the Crowd.
The 1993 Phillies unintentionally recreated this film. Reliever Mitch Williams was called Wild Thing and took the number 99.
Wesley Snipes runs in his PJs, not only in slow motion, but against the two slowest extras as he just runs slow.
Major League 2 sucks.
Major League 3 fails as a comedy. It just isn't funny, but it's actually a decent film.
Bob Eucker isn't the Indians' play by play guy, but he is sitting in his own chair as it was shot in his home stadium, not Cleveland.
Other sports comedies: Bull Durham, Wildcats, Slap Shot, Bring It On (fight me), Stick It, The Replacemenrs, The Bad News Bears (original), Dodge Ball. I feel like you may have seen some of these.
Bob Euker was actually a MLB player. Hecwas best known for being a jokester. He posed left-handed for his baseball card but is right-handed. He is STILL a commenter for The Brewers.
It was actually 34 years 34 years ago. Cubs beat them in 7 in 2016 to keep the streak alive, but we were on 108 years, so i don't feel bad
One of those classics that I can recite word for word. So excited to watch this!
I like how Serrano basically curses out his god, like Conan tells Krom "to hell with you."
When Cerrano hit his home run in the final game, that was the actor's genuine reaction because he wasn't expecting to actually do it. The plan was for the effect to be added later. But he actually hit the homer and was so stunned he forgot to drop his bat, which is why he's carrying it with him as he runs. And everyone's cheers were real, too, because the homer actually being hit was so unexpected.
The sequel is pretty fun too 😊
Not as good as the first, but still hilarious. However, Major League III: Back to the Minors was pretty bad.
Wow, I have never heard of the title of the movie. Turns out we have a totally different title for it here in Germany. It's called "Die Indianer von Cleveland" which translates into "The Indians from/of Cleveland", so basically just the "Cleveland Indians), lol.
I love this movie ..If you haven't yet try A league of there own a comedy a comedy with Tom Hanks and Geena Davis😊
I am not even a baseball fan, to me it's about as exciting as cricket but my favourite sports movie is Major League and my favorite movie is Moneyball.
BTW loved your guys advertisement for Cleveland as wanting to visit to see if it's that steamy as long as you didn't say steamer as Cleveland Steamer is not something you want to search online
The Redskins became the Commanders.
The Sentinels were the Washington team in the movie The Replacements. Some were hoping that would be the name change irl.
You should watch Bob Uecker's speech on his induction to the HOF. Dude is ridiculously funny
If you're looking for another sports movie comedy from this era, I would recommend "Necessary Roughness". See Scott Bakula and Sinbad play bad college football against the odds.
The romantic parts weave in much better in NR.
“In case you haven’t noticed, and judging by the attendance you haven’t …” that’s one my favorite lines 😂😂😂
For this film, Matthew was the Har-Berenger of what was to be watched….
#title
MAJOR ALTERNATE CHARACTER ARC/ENDING: In a deleted scene, the night before the playoff game Lou Brown is summoned to Rachel Phelps office. He assumes that she’s going to fire him and tries to quit before she gets the chance to but she stops him, tells Brown that she wasn’t going to fire anybody and confesses that she’s been supporting him and the team the entire time. Naturally he calls bs and she goes on the explain that when her husband died he left her the team but not enough money to properly run it. So she was forced to assemble a roster of “has-beens and never-will-be’s” that all took the league minimum except Dorn of course but she further explains that she personally scouted every player and hand picked them all because they all had the potential to be great players but just needed some fine tuning and Brown was perfect because of his 30 years of managerial experience but most importantly they were the best team that she could afford. She came up with the story of moving the team to Miami only for the board to go along with what she was doing and was afraid they wouldn’t respect her team building acumen because she was a woman. That was also the reason behind the transportation gradually getting worse and the training equipment breaking. Not only couldn’t she afford to charter flights and replace equipment but she also figured the team needed a common enemy to unite behind and rally around which would be their collective hatred for her. That was why she went out of her way to come in the locker room and be “the b*itch” in front of everybody. Essentially what she did was “Moneyball” 13 years before Billy Beane did it in real life with the Oakland A’s (booooo). So anyway Brown turns to leave and Phelps smiles and wishes him good luck for the game. And at the game she’s now cheering them on instead of what we saw, the Indians win and fade to black.
The test audience saw this cut and absolutely tore it to shreds. Some because they felt it was unrealistic with her being a woman dining a Major League Baseball team and how she built the team (again, a good chunk of this would actually happen irl), but mainly because they loved to hate her and didn’t want her to wind-up being a good guy at the end of the day. So they cut the meeting and did a couple of reshoots and what we got was the end product of the evil Rachel Phelps.
I remember watching the deleted scenes of the meeting and Phelps cheering and aside from not getting the line "I hate this fucking song" I absolutely LOVED that twist. Sure it took away a great villain, but the idea that she had so much faith in the team that she was willing to destroy her own reputation was heart-warming. I am honest-to-God upset that I can't watch a full version of the original. It's my head canon for the movie. That and Lynn not being engaged and more open to the idea of dating Jake again, just unsure if he's actually changed. The whole cheating thing and him stalking her is just so gross.
Rachel Phelps is a great character...and very hot!
That's it just 1 GD hit...😂😂😂 one of them great movie lines
I’m an Ohio lady, I love this movie.
They still havnt won a Championship
Charlie Sheen really could pitch and posted some pretty good stats in his younger days. And if you noticed the glass part of the fire sprinkler was missing. That was somebody turning the water on.
I love baseball movies, and I think this one is one of the best. Bob Uecker's role was hilarious, "Wild Thing"'s walk on was epic, and they really showcased the passion and the excitement of the game. Baseball movie-wise, this stands alongside Field of Dreams and Moneyball.
The "steam": Cleveland is known for its industry... and for its industry dumping chemicals into the river. The opening song of the movie, by Randy Newman, is called "Burn On (Big River)" and is about the time the river flowing through the city literally caught fire because of all the chemicals dumped into it.
The Cleveland Indians actually lost 2 World Series after this movie. As mentioned, they lost to the Marlins in 1997. They also lost to the Atlanta Braves in 1995. And the Braves are the team Bob Uecker began (Milwaukee Braves) and ended (Atlanta Braves) his playing career.
3 2016 against Cubs
@@brianmedlen3645 Damn, you're right! I don't know how I forgot that one. It was a great World Series to watch.
Corbin Bernsen was also a pretty good player, he was on a lot of celebrity games like MTV Rock and Jock baseball from the early 90s.
Rock n Jock. That brings back memories
This was fun! I've always loved this movie - and yes, mostly for the baseball - although I've always found Rene Russo a hottie (so I'll 'endure' the romance scenes).
This gets an 8.5 from me.
As I was a pitcher, I really was drawn to Ricky Vaughn (Charlie Sheen's character). I sure as hell couldn't throw like him, but I sure pretended I could!! (I was 11 when this came out) - him and Cerrano (and I got to know Denis Haysbert with the series 24 many years later)
The coach was also a high point. He cared for his players, tough love, didn't take any crap, and would piss on any B.S! He believed in them, and they in-turn rewarded him!
Bob Uecker totally makes this movie - best lines, best delivery! Just had to check - the man is 89 years old - national treasure he is! His parts always get me laughing my butt off.
Thanks for the fun - nice way to end my Friday!! Cheers.
Having been born and grown up in Cleveland, Ohio, I get the humor more comically than someone who may have not lived with The Indians "struggles". there was a catcher by the name of Duke Simms that got arrested in a bar downtown for being drunk and throwing his cocktail glass at a waitress. There were a couple good pitchers, Sam McDowell, Sonny Seibert, Luis Tiant as well as some position players like Craig Nettles (third base) and Chris Chambliss (first base) that started in Cleveland and went on to play and excel on other teams. I watch this film ANYTIME I get the chance.
As a Yankees fan that grew up in the 70’s, I thank your Indians for Nettles and Chambliss. Two of my favorite players.
I loved this movie as a kid but for opposite reasons. i'm in the UK where baseball is not a thing. No one plays it no one watches it. If they wanted to watch it they cant. No channel shows it.
But, saying that, it keeps baseball in the background. It's an underdog story with jokes.
I remember once at school, the week after i'd watched the movie, Playing the English school version of baseball, called Rounders. And, I did that pointing thing and 'called my shot'... My best mate said that I "looked so stupid but it was really fooking funny"
I would say that after this movie came out Baseball commentators started to adapt a little bit of Bob's quips towards the games that they were commentating to bring some humor to the sport and why sports broadcasting started to invite comedians that are hard-core sports fans to be guest or full time seasonal sport commentators 😂
******DENNIS HAYESBERT was the First Black President on the TV Series "24" with KIEFER SUTHERLAND.
Fun fact: the Cleveland Indians still haven't won the World Series since 1948, the longest drought in MLB. They played & lost to the Chicago Cubs in 2016. The Cubs had the longest championship drought ever with 108 years.
Hey Matt hey Emily hope you all doing very well glad to see you guys again on definitely enjoy this one with you guys. Since you just finished up the movie I can tell you this right now Matt one thing you missed 1995 Atlanta braves versus the Cleveland Indians Atlanta braves 14 nothing that was the first time they've gone to the world series in awhile
This would've been a good teenage date movie, if I'd been younger. But it's still a good rainy Sunday movie. Cable channels overplayed it forever, though.
Rene Russo is WAAAAY better in *The Thomas Crown Affair* (1999), my favorite crime romance thriller. Like Speilberg's Always (1989), the remake is the better film.
"One run on, let's see...one hit. That's all we got? One hit? One godamn hit?"
( whispering ) "You can't say godamn on the air"
"Don't worry, nobody's listening anyway"
Yo Pip! To quote Garrett Morris (from very early years SNL). 'Beesbol been berry, berry good to me!' This movie reminds me of an old baseball joke. Late in Spring Training, in the lobby of the Team Hotel, a Prospect on the pay phone (thats how old the joke is): 'I'll be home soon Ma. They have started throwing curve balls.' In baseball it is only cheating if you get caught. I can think of at least two Hall of Fame Pitchers who are there despite being notorious for 'altering' the ball (either some of the substances mentioned on the clip or significantly scuffing the ball).
One of my favorite movies as a kid! So many lines/quotes I remember! I also till hear the absolute TERRIBLE made-for-daytime-tv dub of "Strike this guy out" instead of "Strike this motherfucker out". One of the worst clean dubs in the history of clean dubs and it makes me laugh every time!
As much as I absolutely ADORE Major League, the Jake/Lynn sub-plot just gets creepier and creepier every time. As a kid it's ignored, as a teen it just rolled off, as a YA it was kinda sweet but cringey, as an adult its just fucking gross.
Probably already been posted but the new name of the Washington D.C. football team is the Washington Commanders (not Sentinels). Just FYI.
Funny; at the beginning, I was looking at what turned out to be Pippen lying on his bed and thought it was the video showing a baseball diamond. Once I refocused, I realized what it actually was. What a cowinky-dink given the movie choice. LOL
You don't think I may have had baseball on the brain, do you?
To answer Emily's question about Cleveland, I have on good authority that Cleveland's main export is crippling depression.
If you liked the main bad owner actress she is also in Secret of My Success with Michael J Fox :D
"Juuuuuuust a bit outside." I LOVE this movie.
I worked with James Gammon (Lou) on Nash Bridges. Great guy.
A couple of weeks ago at the US Open golf tournament Rickie Fowler was teeing off and some fan screamed “Give him the heater, Rickie” and it was hilarious.
While preparing for this role, Charlie Sheen actually threw the ball 85mph...Impressive
James Gammon was the Skipper - that voice of his - I loved it, there was no other voice and presence like his. If you get the chance to watch "Milagro Beanfield War", you can see him again. So wonderful.
Actually, the Washington Redskins became the Commanders, not Sentinels
This movie is so quotable. One of my favorite things though is that because this movie has been shown on tv so much the editing of the cuss words is so cringey that it's hilarious. Like the part when the pitcher takes Jobu's rum and says, "Up your butt, Jobu," the tv edit goes, "Up your bucket, Jobu," and honestly I just say that line instead every time I quote it. 😂
That was such a hilarious TV edit that it pops into my head now instead of the real line anytime I see the movie! I also like in the TV edit at the end, when Taylor bunts, when the player from the other team goes to field the ball and says the word shit, they don't even bother dubbing something else over it, they just completely mute it out and you could still read the guy's lips very clearly LOL
Ah one of my top three sports movies ever along with Rudy and The Replacements. And yes, I love Major League II just as much. :)
The two bar scenes were filmed in The Safe House, a Milwaukee institution, the bar is set up as a spy safe house and there are a lot of fun surprises in the bar including doors to nowhere, two way mirrors, a special drink you can order that gets poured directly into your mouth while you are in an pilot's seat and you are then taken to a dungeon and 'interrogated'... that is just scratching the surface. If ever in Milwaukee anyone should check it out, just remember that there is a password to enter, though they do have a way to get in if you don't know it (and no I am not telling).
I personally don't mind the love story between Jake and Lynn but you're right...the baseball is what makes this film great.
Honestly, it was a profound moment when Harris told Vaughn that I haven't got an arm like yours. I have to use anything I can find. Someday you will too. He's been around for a while and telling it like it is.
Before there was Major League, there was Slap Shot. And it was a rare treat to see Paul Newman do comedy.
So ivgrew up in Cleveland and wad about 10 when this came out and I LOVED it. Also, there are some crowd scenes that were filmed at an actual game that I was at with my grandfather. Also, the stadium the show when Jake walks into an empty stadium at the beginning with red and blue seats was the rangers stadium. The Indians stadium had yellow and dark red seats
You'd have thought the movie Problem Child would've made dropping the bat a rule lol!
I just cannot understand why Dorn cheated on his wife Susan, I mean look at how Hot and Beautiful she is am I right? Vaughn wasn’t to blame since she didn’t know who she was. Dorn has mostly himself to blame since he cheated on her first.
This movie is playing out in real life right now in Oakland. Except there is no chance they can win. F John Fisher! Sell the team!
I love this movie - I first saw it when we were on holiday with friends & we were having a storm. We lost power right as Taylor comes up to bat and calls his shot. This was before streaming or cable (in the UK) so I had to wait YEARS to see the ending!
Also fun fact, Charlie Sheen was a pitcher on his high school team & when he was filming Major League, his own fastball topped out at 88 miles per hour!
I have a Ricky Vaughn jerseys that I wear to all baseball games. Doesn’t matter who is playing.
I still get chills when Charlie Sheen emerges from the bullpen to the crowd singing "Wild Thing."
I coulda swore y'all already reacted to "Major League". Awesome movie.
It is a freaking shame that wokeness has led to the name of one of the oldest teams in the MLB to be changed. Cleveland's team will always be the Indians to me no matter how many times the name gets changed. The Guardians name sucks!
Next sports movie to watch is "The Replacements" with Keanu Reeves. lol
I always loved this movie whenever it's played. Even the shitty, edited for broadcast TV versions.
Here are a few movies that you should check out if you have not seen them before that have a sports theme that are funny: The Replacements(2000), Tin Cup(1996), Necessary Roughness(1991), White Men Can't Jump(1992), Bend It Like Beckham(2002) 😄
11:14 Yeah this part is cultarely problematic now. 😂😂😂
The whole love story did NOT age well. Everything else is perfect.
A League of Their Own is another great baseball comedy
Love the Goliath and Demona figures behind Emily. Great movie and great reaction.
I hope you guys get around to watching the movie Repossessed at some point.
