Synopsis
She's beautiful, smart, goal-oriented, and she just inherited the Cleveland Indians. Unfortunately, she wants to move the franchise to Miami, and a losing season is her only ticket to Florida. So she signs the wildest gang of screwballs that ever spit tobacco. They're handsome, but they're hopeless! Her catcher (Tom Berenger) is a washed-up womanizer who struck out in life. Her ace pitcher (Charlie Sheen) is a punked-out crazy who struck out with the law. And her third baseman (L.A. Law's Corbin Bernsen) is more concerned fielding endorsements than grounders. Throw in a busload of other misfits and you've got yourself a hilarious line-up that's destined for disaster! Or is it?

The moral here is that any bad team can become good if they're motivated by enough spite

calMay 13, 2019Wesley Snipes is so damn likable in this movie that I forgive him for trying to evade paying taxes. (Ray-Pec Alum: Jake Taylor)
Logan Van WinkleJun 5, 2026The perfect film for people who love baseball, Bob Uecker commentary, American Express card commercials, watching rich sports owners cry over their team actually winning, and baseball wives having relations with the rookie to fire up their husbands.

I have seen this movie so manyyyyy times. I always remember that it would be shown on the MLB Network. Baseball movies will always have my heart. They are the best type of sports movies imo.
Diego 🪅Jan 17, 2025"Just a reminder about Die Hard Night at the Ballpark. Free admission to anyone who was actually alive the last time the Indians actually won the pennant." This is one of my favorite films of all time and just a great movie all around. I'm watching in honor of the late…
Xeremy Hall 🟠🟢🔵Sep 15, 2022There are a lot of sports comedies that are simply comedies based in the world of sports. The Waterboy, Caddyshack, Happy Gilmore: the list is long. This is kind of different; this is a sports movie, and it's a comedy. The most impressive thing is that it's pretty frickin…

R.I.P. Bob Uecker (1934 ‑ 2025) In his memory I had to watch my favorite baseball movie of all time! It’s quotable (“Juuust a bit outside”), funny and probably has one of the best endings of a sports movie ever! Just a great movie that I love and never get tired of watching!
MovieDaddy lovedMajor LeagueTop 5 sports movies all-time. Incredibly memorable characters, a plot worth investing in, and some of the funniest one-liners in comedy history. The traditional lovable losers storyline mixed with Bad News Bears vulgarity. Highly rewatchable.
Kyle Madden lovedMajor LeagueI always revisit this movie right before every baseball season. Such a feel good and hilarious baseball movie. The romance stuff kinda sucks but some of it is ok. Love this movie

- Mickerdoo lovedMajor League
One of my favorite sports movies. Even bought an Indians hat cause of it. Love that they were able to use the actual team. Makes it better.
Burt from Mary Poppins lovedMajor LeagueRequired for all baseball fans/ players to have seen at least once to understand what your coach is saying on game day
Fink92 lovedMajor LeagueA premier comedy sports movie. Full of memorable quotes and characters. A must watch if you are a baseball fan.

Major League is shamelessly formulaic. At the beginning, when it uses Randy Newman's ironic ode to Cleveland (City of light, city of magic), the movie has a lovely tone, and briefly, you feel a surge of anticipation, as if the people making it might actually have an original point of view or some feel for the game. All hope is dashed, though, early on, when you realize that they are cannibalizing every other baseball movie. (Newman wrote the music for The Natural.) This is movie-making by rip-off.
