10 Greatest Baseball Films Of All Time

10.  Major League (1989)

A favourite amongst baseball and comedy fans alike, Major League depicts a fictionalised version of the Cleveland Indians. New Indians owner Rachel Phelps (Margaret Whitton) is attempting to sabotage the franchise so that she can move the team to Miami.

Assembling a team full of misfits and outlandish players, her hopes are inevitably threatened by the unlikely, yet resolute, cast of characters that make up the Cleveland Indians’ roster. Starring Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen and a young Wesley Snipes, Major League provides viewers with several classic slapstick moments. The film's popularity would later result in two sequels, but neither could replicate the same level of success as the 1989 original.

Best Scene:

Ricky ‘The Wild Thing’ Vaughan’s entrance is pure '80s nostalgia and most certainly influenced future real-life MLB pitchers to have similar entrance theme songs to get pumped up.
