Sometimes people don't think much of you but you end up winning at the end. Stories like that happen. It is always encouraging to see. The movie itself is more of a comedy than an inspirational movie but I never get tired of watching it.

I Like the movie.....but the language is too much
Added 10/21/2009
I liked the movie as well as it's sequels but there is a difference. The sequels are family fair. The original film is superior but it is filled with profanity. There are over 150 uses of profane language in the film. I do not disagree with the use of profanity completely, but when it is used just to fill the air and not for effect, I do not agree with it. The finest films ever made CITIZEN KANE, CASABLANCA and GONE WITH THE WIND, do not have profanity, unless you consider the word DAMN. I do not think it has damaged their appeal. I imagine if they did a remake of GWTW, the famous line would be "Scarlett, you B...h, I don't give a mother F.....k. I guess there are those who would assert that the film would be superior with a few Fs filling the air. I like the Major League movies and I do not think the absence of vulgarity hurt the quality of the sequels. I would have like to see less in the original. Major League is certainly not the worse film for this, it is so common place that soon the F...word with be heard regularly in prime time.

Major League (Wild Thing Edition)
Added 10/11/2009
The team owner wants to bring in ball playrs from all around the league as well as starting with a new staff of coaches tries to bring her team in last place. With the support of the coaches and vetern players the team started to gel quicker than expected. There are lots of laughs throughout the game. The announcer for the game keeps the laughs coming over and over. This movie is really a great for the sports fan in you.

I bought the dvd thinking it was the original version. Nope. It has been cleaned up & is no fun to watch. All the good Bob Uecker scenes are gone. I have found a vhs released in '93 if this one is also cleaned up I'm going to be most displeased.

A lot of fun to watch
Added 10/1/2009
The new owner (played by Margaret Whitton) of the Cleveland Indians has come up with a great idea - fill the team with misfits and losers, and when the team totally tanks, move it to Florida! But, she didn't figure on Jake Taylor (Tom Berenger). Taylor leads the team on a last chance drive to win the pennant, and become stars. But, can this unlikely group of heroes pull it together and actually win? Just watch their smoke!
This is a really fun movie. The characters are very interesting - Tom Berenger playing the washed-up catcher who wants to go out in victory, Charlie Sheen playing the wild young pitcher who needs help to actuate his potential, Corbin Bernsen playing the prima donna old hand who needs a wakeup call, Wesley Snipes playing the cocky base-stealer who is sure he can be a star, Dennis Haysbert playing the fatally flawed but stoic voodoo worshipper, and so many more. Yeah, this is a great movie, a lot of fun to watch. If you like baseball, then you will enjoy this off-beat, losers-to-winners movie. I know I do!
