Rick Vaughn Bobblehead Night in Cleveland = Best Thing Ever
Rick Vaughn is a folk hero of sorts for anyone who cared about baseball for any amount of time in the 1980s. Charlie Sheen’s character in Major League, known affectionately as "Wild Thing," came out of prison to serve as the catalyst for the Indians’ rise out of mediocrity.
I want one!
Angels learning a lot from Abreu - angelsbaseball.com: News
With his cool, soothing manner and totally professional style on the field, Abreu has become a magnet for teammates, and not just those of Latino heritage.

If Quinlan’s Goofy Swing is a witch, does that mean he weighs as much as a scareduck?

Major League is the best baseball movie ever
yeh yeah yeah…I know. The Natural, Eight Men Out, Bang the Drum Slowly, The Sandlot, Bull Durham, Air Bud 7th Inning Fetch, etc etc etc. Whatever. Major League is more entertaining than any of them
HaloDutch - June 17, 2009
Hmmmmm, I’m not sure that entertaining is synonymous with best, though. I think Something About Mary may be the most entertaining movie I’ve ever seen, but I’d keep it a tier below Full Metal Jacket and Badlands and Taxi Driver and Schindler’s List and such. On the other hand, when we get past entertaining and start requiring gravity, we open the door for our rankings to be pretentious and self-aware. So you may be right!

I go by which movie would I be cool with seeing over and over on a loop for 24 hours

The Sandlot and Major League are the best ones. EVER- no Field of Dreams didn’t “captivate” me too much….

Apologies. I concede...
Major League…is the 5th best baseball movie ever.

A Red Dawn Rises is ten-times cooler than all other movies combined

"The Natural" sucks. Ridiculous fucking suckage.

Age Poll
Not to be nitpicking, but shouldn’t it be 18 and under or 18-29? The current poll has it to where someone 18 really can’t pick.
