Okay, I loved it. Did not disappoint.
I can’t believe I waited 35 years to watch this film.
This could be the second best sports movie ever.
Loved the nostalgia and had a longing of wanting to go back to that period of my life. It also made me appreciate the MLB of the past with the old divisions and playoff system. Not gonna lie, I do miss the old Indians name.
Love rooting for the underdog and it had a nice balance of comedy and drama.
Anyways don’t want to put any spoilers in my review in case you haven’t seen it yet.
Got me even more pumped for our Basevols season.


So now it’s time for my Dugout avatar.
Should I go with Dorn @Volprofch05 pick or KFC @Halph66 pick or something else?

If you do really like the old Indians name, you could be one of these guys



and for @chuckiepoo :

 

[Halph66]

I noticed there is a sequel. Last time y’all said don’t bother with the Sandlot sequel.

I think that I have seen it, but don't remember too much about it. I guess that means it might not be worth the watch.

Dead on balls accurate.

Glad you enjoyed it. Must watch for any sports fan honestly.

You guys are too fast!

Here's my quick take on Major League casting:

Rick 'Wild Thing' Vaughn - Volprof, of course
Jake Taylor - @knoxvol52
Willie Mayes Hayes - @VolPack22
Pedro Cerrano - @cobbwebb0710
Coach Lou Brown - @W.TN.Orange Blood
Harry Doyle - @chuckiepoo
Roger Dorn - @MAD
Eddie Harris - @Halph66
Charlie Donovan - @Sea Ray
Clu Haywood - @Orange.
Rachel Phelps - @Proud Army Wife

I went ahead and used Dorn.

Let's cut through the crap, Vaughn. I only got one thing to say to you: "Strike this mother f*cker out."

I think I liked Major League: Back to the Minors better than Major League II

@MAD you being a Tigers fan, tell me you have watched “For Love of the Game”?

Perfect Game is me and my son’s favorite. Watched Fever Pitch with the wife because she said it was a baseball movie. Dirty trick. That’s not a baseball movie.

Mr. Baseball is a pretty good comedy starring Tom Selleck.

It took me a minute, but finally realized what you were on about.
You and your Dom story.

Wasn't @MAD supposed to be a bucket of chicken? Correction @chuckiepoo is the bucket of chicken. @MAD is Dom.

I worked with a guy that always said, "I'm not into M&Ms" when someone would talked about kicking his butt, etc.

Bump

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I bet 100 VN bucks this guy's nickname is "Tree".

“Pride of the Yankees” and “Bang the drum slowly” are a couple of my favorites.
But I’ve come to love old classics and realize they might not be for everyone.
