Storyline Edit. Rachel Phelps is the new owner of the Cleveland Indians baseball team. However, her plans for the team are rather nefarious. She wants to move the team to Miami for the warmer climate and a new stadium.
To justify the move, the team has to lose, and lose badly. So she assembles the worst possible team she can.
Among these are a past-his-prime catcher with bad knees, a shrewd but past-his-prime pitcher, a young tearaway pitcher and felon with a mph fastball but absolutely no control, a third baseman who is too wealthy and precious to dive, a voodoo-loving slugger who can't hit a curve ball and an energetic-but-naive lead off hitter and base-stealer who can't keep the ball on the ground.
Against the odds, and after the inevitable initial failures, they iron out some of their faults and start to win, much to Ms Phelps' consternation. When these three oddballs try to play hardball, the result is totally screwball. Did you know Edit. Trivia When director David S.

Hardly anybody knows or understands the rules. People watch soccer here. Basketball gets bigger. But Baseball? So this movie, which many of my friends watched as well, was my first contact with this interesting sport.
Of course, it is a fairy tale. Of course, the underdog won't get that big that it will beat everybody and win the championship. Or will it? Sports history tells us different.
The story is the same in every sport. Just two years ago, a team just promoted from second division won the German soccer championship!
This movie depicts the glorious story of a bunch of outsiders and underachievers who finally win some games. And it is told in such a wonderful manner that you can't but root for them on their way out of the slumps. It is a simple story! But the characters are wonderful, the wisecracking Harry Doyle incredibly funny and the finals My most favorite moment is when oldtimer pitcher Harris is replaced by Charlie Sheens character in the finals.
In the first games of the season, some die-hard fans had given Sheen the nickname "Wild thing" and sang the famous song. Now, the whole crowd is chanting this song as Sheen steps onto the field to pitch his largest enemy.
This scene always gives me goosebumps. It is splendid. Watch options. Storyline Edit. Gus Cantrell is a major league pitcher in the twilight of his career.
