Milwaukee County Stadium doubles as Cleveland Stadium in the film
although several exterior and aerial shots were used from Cleveland Stadium. Directed by lifelong Indians fan David S. Ward. 'Charlie Sheen' was a high school pitcher who was offered a baseball scholarship to the University of Kansas. In the movie he threw a 101mph fastball, but in reality Sheen could throw in the high 80s.

I don't care how 80's this scene is. It will always be one of the best scenes in movie history.
-
I don’t know how many times I’ve seen this movie and I still get goose bumps when that music starts and that outfield wall opens up.
-
"I got a hunch he's due" is the type of managing I miss in baseball. No computer, no anaylsis, just the gut feeling from a manager who's seen 10,000 innings of baseball in his life
-
What makes this scene phenomenal is not only the dialogue...it's the fact that Charlie Sheen has legit pitching mechanics and delivers the ball like someone who pitches at a high level.
-
"Give me Vaughn." "You want Vaughn?" "We only have two pitchers in this whole damn movie, who else we gonna use?"
-
Can we appreciate that Harris is a 40something old pitcher way past his prime (which is why they could afford him) that was pitching damn near complete games well enough to help get the team to the playoffs.
-
“Harris working on a 7 hitter” is such an underrated line in the context of all the gems Bob Euecker has in the movie.
-
“This guy’s the out you’ve been waiting your whole life for!” Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Probably the best line in any baseball movie.
-
This is one of those movies that if I'm channel surfing and find it on, I watch it, no matter how many times I've seen it. Truly a classic.
-
Nice that they could go from enemies in the jungles of Vietnam in 1968 to working together to win the AL East Penant 21 years later.
-
Charlie Sheen was a standout pitcher at Santa Monica High School who threw in the high 80’s. He had a really good cutter. A lot of pro baseball players have said his performance was the most legitimate of any actor who ever played a pitcher.
-
Almost 35 years later and still one of the greatest scenes ever. This movie and The Replacements are two of my favorite fun sports movies. Slapstick's pretty good too.
-
Major League was a solid baseball comedy/drama with a great cast. Bob Uecker really brought this movie home and added a level of authenticity that made it a classic.
-
I will never NOT get chills when Ricky makes the walk from the bullpen.
-
This movie is criminally underrated… CRIMINALLY I TELL YA, CRIMINALLY!!!
-
I am Bulgarian and I knew a little about baseball. This movie made fall in love with the game and I also became a diehard fan of the Cleveland Indians.
-
You know the movie is good when you watch this scene with the same anticipation and intensity and satisfaction as if it was the first time haha.
-
Charlie Sheen’ s best moment in the movies….without saying a word.
-
Sheen is, by far, the most convincing pitcher in any movie that I've seen.
-
For those of us that Grew up around Milwaukee in the 1970's--Bob Uecker is simply a legend.
