MAJOR LEAGUE (1989) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION 

The announcer Harry Doyle is actually a real baseball announcer named Bob Uecker. You should check out the story told about him by comedians Artie Lang and Norm Macdonald on The Howard Stern show. It’s a classic. Uecker really is a National treasure.

Remember seeing this in the theaters... People were standing up and cheering at the end just like a real baseball game.

One thing I love about this movie is how real Charlie Sheen throwing heat was, he had a real shot at going pro coming out of high school but went the acting route instead. So many great one liners as well

Some fun facts: - The movie was filmed in Milwaukee, my home town, and so a lot of my older relatives and their friends were all extras at County Stadium and in the background - The fancy restaurant they go to in the film is the same restaurant where my parents had one of their first dates - They used my former high school's football team locker rooms for their locker rooms

whoever thought, Cerrano would be doing all state commercials 30 years later

Being from Cleveland and a baseball fan, this movie was in heavy rotation when I was growing up. Baseball is a sport that grows on you the more you watch it. I also believe that baseball (along with hockey) are sports that are much more fun to watch in person. I had no interest in baseball until my parents took me to my 1st Indians game when I was 14. That changed everything (though College Football and the NFL will always be my favorite sports).

Dude, I saw this when it hit theaters back in '89. It was one of those RARE cinema experiences where the WHOLE AUDIENCE got involved! Yo, when they won at the end, the whole theater BLEW UP! People were jumping up and cheering and throwing popcorn everywhere! I even got wrapped up in it, and I'm not even a sports guy! Good times, man! "A League of Their Own" isn't as "wild" as "Major League", but it's sooo NICE! It's good for your heart!

The guy calling the game was Bob Ueker. He was hilarious and used to be a baseball player. He played for the Brewers.

Good one, Leo. Saw Charlie Sheen on a plane to Cleveland once. He was going to throw out the first pitch for the playoffs and sitting in economy for some reason. I was going to Cleveland to see the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Anyway, I didn't' have tix for the Indians game, but I snuck into the stadium, slipped under a gate. (This was back in the 90's and security was not what it is today).

I am from Wisconsin, so I love this movie because the home stadium for the Cleveland Indians was actually County Stadium, the old home of the Milwaukee Brewers. The original test screenings for the movie did not do well. They added Bob Uecker scenes later, and viewers loved it. Ironically, Bob Uecker was and still is, to this day, the announcer for the Milwaukee Brewers.

I watched this as a kid not long after Platoon. I couldn’t wrap my mind around Tom Berenger and Charlie Sheen in this movie after Platoon, took time getting used to!

The late 80s and early 90s saw a lot of good sports, especially baseball movies. The Sandlot (my favourite), Rookie of the Year, Cool Runnings (about the first Jamaican Bobsled Team, lots of fun), The Mighty Ducks, The Big Green, Little Giants, Bend It Like Beckham (from 2002, but awesome), Coach Carter, White Men Can't Jump (LMFAO), The Hurricane, A League of Their Own (first women's baseball league starring Tom Hanks), and The Karate Kid (the original) are all terrific sports movies. Some of those movies are can't miss classics that should be on everyone's bucket list.

Great movie. The Uek puts it over the top. Great job Bob! Gives me goosebumps every time. Over at least 40

Listen. I hate baseball. I hated playing it. I hate watching it. THIS MOVIE makes me not hate it so much, and that's a freaking miracle. ;) Great reaction as always.

The Atlanta Braves pitcher Spencer Strider changed his number to 99 in homage to Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn. You should check out some of his highlights. He was the runner-up in the NL Rookie of the Year last year. Also Charlie Sheen even tweeted about Spencer changing his number.

I remember my mom being away playing cards with her friends. My dad let me watch this at like age 8 because we loved baseball.

The second movie is good as well. Glad you enjoyed these. The Replacements with Keanu Reeves is a good comedy football movie. Worth a watch. Keep up the good work as always. Keep bringing the 🔥🔥🔥

Ok👍 more 90's gold. Try The Sandlot 🔥🔥🔥Forrrrever

There was an alternative script twist that portrayed Phelps as a mastermind that pushed them to win by reverse psychology, but they decided to keep her the antagonist. It kind of makes sense because no one wanted to play in Cleveland, so the only ones that would play inspired ball were players with no other choice. Veterans that were all stars at one point with one last good season in them, and could guide the raw young players through the season. Then there’s the Manager, a conventional Major League coach couldn’t work with the young unconventional talent like he could, and he was used to talking straight to all his players because of his long time as a minor league coach. So there’s logic to it, but it’s asking for way too much suspension of disbelief from the audience.

Bro you lowkey nailed that welcome to the jungle lick. You gotta do that at your next kareoke jam

I said it on Patreon and I'll say it again here. I LOVE this movie. A lot of great sports movies are more serious with drama and etc. But ill always favor the ones with comedy anyday. Thanks again Leo!

Quick list of my favorite sports movies you NEED to watch!!! Bull Durham (Kevin Costner), The Rookie (Dennis Quaid), Invincible (Mark Wahlberg), Remember the Titans (Denzel Washington), A League of Their Own (Tom Hanks), Ford vs Ferrari (Matt Damon), and Moneyball (Brad Pitt). Every single one of those is an absolute classic that should be experienced by everyone (even if you don’t like sports)!

This is one of my favorite movies when I was a young teenager. It was so much unlike anything like it before, and what is the the most awesome part...the Indians had been doing pretty badly in real life for a long time, and they Won the American League east championship pennant in real life, in 1995 and again in 1997, much like the team winning the same league championship in this movie. That being said, watching the Toronto Blue Jays (my Family's home team) win the World series back to back in 1992 and 1993 was epic.

Hey, Leo.... I'm 40 minutes in, and just thought about this: Another movie (Baseball) that you might like, is The Bad News Bears. I mean, at this point of the movie, you seem to really be enjoying it, so I thought I'd suggest it to you. It came out in 1976, and I actually saw that movie in theaters back then. I was 9 years old, and it actually made me want to play in Little League. Not that I did very well, but no one explained the rules of the game to me, either. Anyway, it's something you might enjoy, so I thought I'd recommend it to you.

This movie is so funny, but I think it’s underrated as a baseball movie. What you said at the end, that it makes you want to watch baseball. That’s so true. If you haven’t seen Remember the Titans or Rudy those are considered two of the greatest football movies ever made. If you want something funnier Necessary Roughness is great too.

As someone born and raised in Cleveland, I appreciate you doing this movie reaction. Wishing you the best Leo. Hope you do more awesome things in the future. Go Tribe.

Bro, I know you had fun watching this. You gotta watch Brewster's Millions it's another 80s comedy classic with Richard Pryor and John Candy together that's like Major League meets Trading Places. 🍻

Wild Thing was my hero when I was a pitcher as a kid, this movie is hysterical! "Are you saying Jesus Christ can't hit a curve ball??" 🤣

My grandmother was a huge baseball fan. So glad I got to watch this movie with her before she died.

11:50 recent scandals in baseball have shown that this is likely the norm for a lot of older pitchers.

Dread Pirate Leo, in case you wanna keep this theme going and be real about it, let me suggest ‘Bull Durham’. It will make you giggle!😎😃

I was born and raised in Milwaukee. Bob Uecker is a Milwaukee staple and legend. He used to announce all the Milwaukee Brewer baseball games. Also, the game at the end was filmed at Milwaukee County Stadium which is now Miller Park. Awesome movie and reaction.

You should watch Bob Uecker's Hall of Fame speech. He had everyone rolling

Maybe not the best Baseball movie out there, but definitely my favorite! So highly quotable, and stands the test of time.

I grew up in a small baseball loving town in Mexico. I watched this movie an unhealthy amount of times lol. Had a huge crush on Charlie Sheen, what the hell was I thinking LOL? I'm glad this one won the poll, love this movie!! It doesn't get enough love.

“Hey Dorn don’t blame Vaughn, he didn’t know that Susan is your wife. Besides you should’ve thought about it before you cheated on her, so you have nobody to blame but yourself “

Really glad you enjoyed this one, Leo. It's my favorite baseball movie. Great story. Fantastic cast. Bob Uecker is so good.

The pitcher at the end that threw at Taylor was Al Hrobosky, “The Mad Hungarian”. He was a real MLB pitcher and he was known to throw at batters a lot. Perfect casting.

Not a big baseball fan but this is one of my all time fav flicks. So hype, & Rudy is another one.. trust

"JUST a bit outside! He tried the corner and missed." 🤣😂

I live in northeast ohio, I was ten years old when this came out and we were on our way to the movie theater to see it and my sister's car broke down, I'll never forget it, But I absolutely love this movie

From what they said, Wesley Snipes was actually a really slow runner. The guy who played Haywood did play in the Majors.

I’ve always said baseball was my first love and as far as baseball movies go, this one is second only to Field of Dreams. I’ve been watching this movie for over 30 years and I still get chills when Cerrano hits his home run.

Perfect timing when you said "I wanna see" and it cut straight to Cerrano. that was perfect "I didnt want to see that"

When this came out we saw at 4 times in the theater and used all of the one-liners in this movie for ages. "Are you saying Jesus Christ can't hear curveball?" "I say fuck you jobu oh, I do it myself" "I look like a banker" And of course the classic.. . "Up your butt jobu" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm glad you watch this one mate

Another movie that i love. Watched this so many times.

One of my favourites, I was nine when this came out and my folks let me watch it. Classic.

Brewster's Millions is a fun one too. Richard Pryor, John Candy, baseball, and money.

One of my favorite movies ever, especially sports movies. It’s so quotable and rewatchable.

You want sports movies? The Sandlot, Field of Dreams, 42, Remember the Titans, Hoosiers: all must-sees, all classics! And yes, you most definitely need to see Rudy!

Love me some Major League, particularly Hayes and Serrano. The sequel is pretty fun too.

The actor playing Serrano is the guy from the All State Insurance commercials lols. I love these movies, one of my few favs for baseball movies. They sell joboo dolls at the actual Gaurdians (Indians) stadium.

In your next sports poll please add.... "Miracle" - It's the greatest sports moment in American history.

The greatest thing about this movie is that it's absolutely hilarious but all the actors look like they could be Major League Baseball players.

In my opinion this is one of the best statues that has been produced by prime 1, looks insane.

I started rewatching “the expanse”, only ever caught the first season. Decent sci fi tv series. It’s about humans populating our solar system, in the near future. A war threatens to break out between earth Mars and the belt, where people mine asteroids. 🤷‍♂️ Noticed nobody else doin it, eh no worries though! Thanks for hanging in there👍☝️💙

51:20 That actually wasn’t the World Series. That was just the League Championship. In the start of the second movie, we find out they lost the World Series. The plot is trying again, with some new people, but this time, going for it all.

I just wanted to say im sorry for what happened to you bro. Im gonna miss a lot of them videos not gonna lie. Hopes for your success going forward.

I never was one much for baseball as a kid like my Grandpa in 70s. I still wasnt as an adult until a neighbor lady friend of ours took me to a Reds minor league game. The field on tv always looked so small but its more like huge and fun to watch then play live from the stands.

The manager and Bob Uecker make this movie great 😂😂

I grew up just south of Cleveland. I remember they would play this movie right before baseball season every year. Great movie.

Fans of this are hardcore, not just baseball fans and it is also very accurate as to alot of the idiosyncrasies of professional baseball. Glad you enjoyed it, for me I have had many copies of this movie in one form or the other, video DVD etc and have watched it countless times it is one of my feel good movies.

Maybe it's just cause i grew up with him, but Bob Uecker has the perfect announcer voice and style

" American Express Card. Don't steal home without it! "

When I realized that it was Dennis Haysbert on the Allstate insurance commercials (Cerrano), I would comment along when they would appear on the TV... "If you've been in an accident and need Allstate, I say fuck you Jobu... I do it myself." ☮❤🎶

This and A League Of Their Own are the two best baseball movies of all time, although which one is my favorite changes all the time. #3 is Bull Durham.

Ah, power hitter Andres Serrano - later known as Senator/President David Palmer of "24," and after that, the Allstate guy from the commercials.

One of my all time favorites!

" Basebol has been bery, bery good to me. " - Chico Esquela

"The Natural" starring Robert Redford is another good one.

"Hey bartender!! Jobu needs a refill"

Check out Moneyball with Brad Pitt or Trouble with the curve with Clint Eastwood. Both are great baseball films

Fun fact Leo; The voodoo guy in the movie Pedro Serrano, he's the guy and voice in all those Allstate Insurance commercials.

A League of Their Own, The Sandlot, and The Natural are great baseball movies.

Part 2 is funny af also!!! Another great baseball movie is SANDLOT!!! 😁😁😁 it's also a 4th of july early summer movie gotta watch it sometime leo 😆😆

Best baseball movie ever. My buddies and I wore out this VHS twice.

My go to quote for this movie is "Juuuuuust a bit outside!"

She's like the female version of Robert Irsay who moved the Baltimore Colts to Indy. Guy would get so drunk and even decided to coach the team himself one game.

Loved Wesley Snipes in this one...lmao. great movie. If you're gonna do baseball Leo, gotta do the Sandlot

Have to mention that you being childlike at heart is what makes you so easy to watch 💗.

Another one of my favorites. I watched this in the theater in 89.

Bob Uecker " Just a bit outside" One of the great movie lines. Who says baseball isn't exciting?

Saw this in the theatre twice and then like eight more times when it was at the mugs and movies. And about 25 times since, over the years.

“Just a bit outside. Tried the corner and missed.”

Getting a bunch of old guys to play on a team isn't always the worst decision to make! My Arizona Diamondbacks did it... Created a team.. got a bunch of old guys/has been's and won the world series in 2001. lol... we have sucked since.. but at least we got 1 lol.

The atmosphere is what makes baseball fun. Get around a bunch of great fans,and you'll have a good time.

Everyone needs a friend/mentor like Jake

The guy who played Pedro cerrano did the Allstate insurance commercials 😂

Major League 2 is just as good. Also, the actor who plays Pedro Cerano is in old Allstate Insurance ads.

This movie and Bull Durham are probably my favorite baseball movies

So underrated.. How do you make an over the top spoof that manages not to corrupt the pure and romantic soul of baseball?

2:03 Tallest building is the Terminal Tower, shown at the beginning of "A Christmas Story" also. Once the tallest building outside of New York City.

Great reaction man! I haven’t seen this movie in a minute! Fun fact, Serano is the guy from the Allstate commercials

All these years crazy it's Dennis Haysbert as Pedro Cerrano

Robert Redford in Jeremaih Johnson or not 😏

LOVE this movie! Great job on the poll everyone!

That last game actually wasn't the World Series. That was just a one game playoff to win the division.

I haven't seen this movie in forever. When I was in high school, the kid I always babysat loved this movie and made me watch it with her every single day. That's probably why I've never watched in since then. Great movie choice.

It's a trip. I always hit the like button just when you dip on your sofa or chair! Then I enjoy the rest of the experience.

i like the All State Insurance guy as Pedro... always knew he would be big.
