- Music: "Wild Thing" originally released in 1965 by the Troggs. In the movie it is a cover version done by a band named "X" according to IMDB.
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.
The 80s were the best, and I wasn’t even alive yet. If someone tells you the 80s sucked, you punch that turd in the mouth.
@@geeebuttersnap2433 I was born in 86 and thought the 80s was so cringe until the 2000s happened and I realized I was so cringe in the 90s.
Go buccs
Can't argue with that bro.
The 80s ness of it just makes it all the better! That hair, those clothes! IT WAS THE BEST!!!
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.
ME TOO!!!!!
One of the greatest scenes in film history!
After all these years, it gives me goosebumps of watching it on my smartphone.
Me too. Great version.
Literal chills
"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
There's rarely a person that could have said it better.
I really think those guys "Got" baseball."
I think I saw this move a billion times in the theatre.
B-B-BUT MUH ANALYTICS
PREACH my man!
Obsolete unfortunately
The analytics teams beat the 10,000 inning managers, that's why everyone's on metrics now
@@voidsabre_ Over the long haul, that's true. In a single moment, I don't think that's the case. Blake Snell in the World Series comes to mind.
“Harris working on a 7 hitter” is such an underrated line in the context of all the gems Bob Euecker has in the movie.
Bob euker made this movie.
7 hits. 2 runs. Crafty veteran pitching.
Not doing a wind up with men on base. Open invitation to steal.
There were already seven hits on the board when Doyle said he was working on a seven hitter.
"Give me Vaughn."
"You want Vaughn?"
"We only have two pitchers in this whole damn movie, who else we gonna use?"
Hey Kelder pitched the opener
One of those
2 Asians?
@@jd71880 yeah but they closed the book on Kelder.......thank god...
A 50 year old and a 20 year old, lol.
I literally laughed out loud.
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.
Sure helps when you put snot on the ball. 😂
Yeah
Just 1 ER in 8.2 inning of a playoff game.
Jamie Moyer
@@kimblandino that 2008 season was something special
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.
He was a pitcher in high school I believe and in training for this movie he got up to 88-89 mph so he was legit
Except with people on bases his delivery was wrong. Either way it was a great scene.
@brianbossaer2049 the Windup isn't totally unheard of with the bases juiced. They aren't stealing anywhere.
They should‘ve let him deliver that first pitch.
He was offered a baseball scholarship to pitch in college... and was a great h.s. pitcher..that's why his delivery looks so good...he new how to pitch
Fun fact: Charlie Sheen was actually a pitcher in high school with a record of 40-15.
The only thing charlie sheen was pitching was 3 inch tents, everytime he cleaned a nutsack down at the damn gaybar
He has one of the greatest pitching styles ever in baseball.
And also got a scholarship to play college ball...
Yup. Still a legend in Santa Monica High School baseball and nobody has beaten that record.
No wonder why this game is so believable. The actors could really play!
God, I love this 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.
Unless it’s edited for tv. Then it sucks
@@fezzik7619 I have the unedited DVD.
Same here. And the ending is perfect. Everyone on that team contributes meaningfully to the win - Jake even risks his already damaged knees.
Yes and the other movie is ML2😁
... so do I... :-)
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.
@John Johnson His scar has healed nicely here
They aged well too
Did the Indians used to be in the AL east?
@@charliesloan71 Yes
There were only four divisions - two in each league: East & West for both
ive seen Platoon and this 100 times...and never ONCE even thought of that connection! jesus!
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.
I agree!
His form (leg kick) was fantastic. Totally believable.
“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.
But I love the way Tom Berenger can't keep a straight face as he turns away.
It WAS a great line, and Tom Barringer owned it. It has a polarizing effect, not just for Charlie Sheen's character but for the audience too.
What about "There's no crying in baseball"
if you build it they will come
Today I'm gonna throw a little harder than usual
I will never NOT get chills when Ricky makes the walk from the bullpen.
This is the correct comment.
I was going to post my own comment saying "Never gets old", but this is a better spot.
its almost like its eric gagne
I remember the first time I saw the bullpen entrance scene. I had so much adreneline pumping through me I felt like I could have thrown the 0-2 fastball by Hayward. Even to this day, knowing it's a comedy, that scene gives me that same chill.
Every single time. I've probably watched it 50 times, same feeling. Love this damn movie.
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 only have one thing to add to that.
Filmed in Milwaukee, why not the Brewers or even the Braves franchise who actually won the world series while in Milwaukee?
Pete Vuckovich was perfectly cast as Haywood. It's impressive how he played a huge hitter when he was a huge pitcher.
@@davidranney8723 I have to agree. He even has that fuckin Yankee mustache that makes me puke. Lets go Mets!
And then they made Major League 2 and 3..... ughhhhh
@@ravenrog I wouldnt have minded the 2nd one if they kept it R rated and brought back Wesley Snipes.
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.
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.
What about the movie Hoosiers ? Based on a true story of Milan HS
@tonylester6820
Is it super funny? Amazingly I've never seen it. I am talking about funny, fun sports movies specifically and not overall good sports movies.
@@tonylester6820 IMO. it's not even in the same class as Major League. It just blows.
Unnecessary roughness last play scene
HE WIREY
It's hard to overstate the general awesomeness of this movie
Definitely the performance of Berenger's life, though I doubt he sees it that way. Much as we all love Barnes, Taylor is understated lightning in a bottle.
Staff Sgt. Barnes is his best.....but Jake Taylor is close....
His favorite role was playing Gen Longstreet in ‘Gettysburg’
@@davidbutler1857 Great movie too
Well said, a lot of quality performances in this movie.
To tell you the truth....It's to the point where he's not acting. Jake Taylor is his finest role. He does great work as SGT Barnes...But no. Jake Taylor. That's the one.
Sheen is, by far, the most convincing pitcher in any movie that I've seen.
Absolutely agree.
I've heard he actually has a hell of an arm. John Sayles mentions it in one of the 'Eight Men Out' extras (on the disc).
No surprise there, he played baseball in high school as a pitcher and apparently could clock an 88mph fastball during the filming of Major League
For those of us that Grew up around Milwaukee in the 1970's--Bob Uecker is simply a legend.
I first saw him on a sitcom and I liked him and his voice. That's where I learned he was a sports guy. I never had seen his other work so it was really a pleasure to watch him in this movie.
Another fun fact about this is that "Clue Haywood" is actually MLB pitcher Pete Vickovich. He spent most of his MLB career with the Milwaukee Brewers and even won a Cy Young award while playing for them. I played Legion ball with his youngest son Damian. He used to help out with coaching our team once in a while when he had the time. But back then he was the pitching coach for the Pittsburgh Pirates l, which kept him pretty bust so he didn't get to help out a whole lot. But he did get us a really nice indoor batting cage built for us to practice in.
He begin his career as a broadcaster with the brewers in the 70s.
Must be the front row.
I didn’t even grow up in Milwaukee and I’m 10,but he’s still a legend to me.
Charlie Sheen’ s best moment in the movies….without saying a word.
Looks like Clark Kent. 🤣
The fist fight/nut shot in hot shots part Deux is pretty good too.
he says "yeah". pay attention
This movie is criminally underrated… CRIMINALLY I TELL YA, CRIMINALLY!!!
I love the fact that Charlie actually "pitches properly" - his 'throw' style is pretty bloody good.
Yes, I agree. 👍
He could pitch 85
He's a good athlete and knew how to throw a baseball. He admitted he roided up before the shoot so he could add velocity and was able to throw 85, which is really impressive.
@@tingle8554 word!!!!!
He really did pitch in high school in real life
"Forget about the curveball Ricky, give em a heater!" - Lou Brown. Rest easy James Gammon. Won't be a skipper like you in today's game!
Waaqe6ae6ttsttt t
EXTRA BAL
After so many years, still getting goosebumps, when Vaughn enters the field. Perfect execution of that entrance.
They did it right.
Same lol
It's the tiger blood from his Adonis ancestors. Duh! Winning!
It's one of the greatest entrances by a character in a movie scene ever.
Sheen is a legit pitcher. Had scholarship offers coming out of HS. Obviously couldn't throw at the speeds shown in the movie, but could throw in the mid 80s consistently in school. Also looks like he's one of the very few actors in this movie who actually knows how to throw a baseball.
Totally agree. He looks legit.
Both him and Costner look legit throwing
My GodFather went to baseball camp in AZ with sheen and his brother those guys were baseball worthy!!!
I was wondering about that. Most of the time you can tell an actor has never held a baseball, so I didn't know if he could really throw or if they had a stunt double of him throwing the baseball. It looks like he has good/proper form
College and pro scouts said that he needed a couple of years to work to be awesome.
I don't know how many times I've watched this movie, but I always gets goosebumps when Wild Thing begins to crank up and Vaughn steps out onto the field.
To strikeout Clu Haywood
“This guys the out you’ve been waiting your who life for.” Such a great line!
Well yes yes it is
How about forget about the curve ball Ricky give him the heater - Lou brown
"Until next season with Jark Parkman" lol
That summed up the situation perfectly!
Seeing this in the theater was amazing. I really felt like I was watching a playoff game. It was loud and exciting. The theater reverberating with the sound of "Wild Thing" is one of my favorite movie experiences of all time.
At the drive in for me
We were shouting and cheering at the theatre.
@@joea5183 I saw it at the drive in also, people were going crazy. I'm glad to say that Drive In is still there and still packing it in (when the government allows of course)
We know it wasn’t a real playoff game because the Indians actually won
It actually wasn't a playoff game. The Yankees and Indians were tied at the end of regular season so this game was to determine the division winner which means it was actually Game 163 and counted as a regular season game, not a playoff game.
" I hate this fu*king song" my 2nd favorite line in the movie😂😂
Whats your 1st. ?
if I were a superhero I'd want the power to give people the ability to see something for the first time all over again because this scene has to be one of the most good feeling scenes in cinema history
Was there for one night's filming with my son, he was 8. Memorable.
That must have been a good time for you guys! I went to a filming for a McDonald's commercial in 1998 that was to star Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. They weren't there but had to two guys that were built like them. They could barely play catch! I remember everyone kind of laughing at these body builders trying to act like baseball players!
I was in HS when this filmed here in Milwaukee. I could never get my parents to go. Bah.
Sheen had a seriously nice form on that last throw if it was really him
Cool Wayne! Did you make it on to the screen anywhere?
@@downlowgo_401 Charlie Sheen pitched on his college team. Not a good enough player to get picked up by a pro team but the dude knows how to play.
I love this movie. The indians will always be the indians to me.
This is the America we need back
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.
If it wasn't for the crowd's incredible enthusiasm and their boisterous singing and participation in "Wild Thing," the scene could never have pulled this off.
Sheen’s pitching form and delivery is underrated af
FACTS!!!
Didn't he used to pitch when he was little?
@@crazyman7671 yes he did.
I was just about to comment this same sentiment.
Sheen played varsity ball in high school
That four chord guitar riff at 4:20 as Ricky pounds the ball into his glove and turns around laser focused always gets me amped up 🔥🔥🔥
A homage to the pre pitch ritual of “the Mad Hungarian” Al Hrabosky
The way the camera closes in on his face gives me goosebumps
It's because he put the skull and crossbones on his glasses
That's actually 2 chords repeated twice
@@martinkuliza otherwise known as a 4 chord riff ya rube. Doesn’t matter how many times a note or chord is repeated in a riff to count out that particular riff. Now rube, back to your mom’s basement for you!
“Harris working on a 7th hitter” is one of the best lines ever.
That line always cracks me up.
😂😂😂😂😂
Whoever wrote the script for this movie is a genius. The quotes in Major League will be remembered always. Everyone was great in this also. Not a bad character in the whole movie. Even as little as Wesley Snipes spoke, he was brilliant.
Is the director of this movie who wrote the script David S Ward.
David Ward, and yes he is a genius.
I say 'juuuuuuuuust a bit outside' regularly lol.
Berenger actually looked like an MLB catcher in this movie.
Yeah idk why but for some reason he always reminded me of Carlton Fisk.
Maybe, until he threw the ball back to the pitcher. Pretty weak. Charlie Sheen was the only one in the movie who actually has enough skill to look credible with his throwing motion
Harris definitely looks like it's the first time he ever threw a baseball.
@@dirkgibbens377So true. Bit of a shame too. Great movie, great character, and other than throwing a ball like my grandmother, Berenger has all the mannerisms of a major league catcher. Given the fact that Charlie Sheen (obviously) must have played baseball at a relatively high level, if Berenger tossed the ball back to him with a bit of mustard and confidence, this already great scene would've been beyond epic. You know...minus the hacky celebratory posing from both of them after the strikeout.
Charlie Sheen played baseball (pitcher) in high school. Had a record of 40-15 apparently. At the time of the movie, he got a fastball up to 85. Of course, he also said he took steroids for two months before filming to get his strength back!
one of the greatst lines in the movies
"i hate this f**king song"
now i am a Brit so not a baseball fan but me and sisters watching this on VHS burst out laughing at this scene
One of the most perfect use of music in movie history
Sure is
Yeah ...but nothing beats “ twist and shout “ on Ferris Bueller.
The dramatic music that plays after Wild Thing's strikes (and later when Taylor calls his shot) is a favorite.
This cover of this classic by X is second only to The Late Great Sam Kinnison's raunchy cover with an insane all star band backing him up.
@Gary Hassani *You're
"Harris working on a 7-hitter" lmao Bob Uecker was so great as Harry Doyle
That's because Harry Doyle is a caricature of Bob Uecker.
@@mattdeaver6850 The writers basically just told Uecker what was going to be happening in the game and let Ueck do the rest.
That's one reason why they call him Mr. Baseball.
He improvised pretty much all his lines too.
@@ShEDDiNgmYSkiN It's why they hired him. Harry was very much crafted with Uecker in mind so the writers trusted Bob to pull it off being himself.
“Hats for bats, keep bats warm.”
Love this movie.
Hard to believe how far the country's fallen. This movie was 1989 back when I loved Major League baseball NFL even basketball. It's really sad but it's so screwed up now. At least I have some good memories at the ballpark. This is a really fun and great movie and Wild Thing is awesome
Now you can't afford to even park, let alone go in. God forbid you want some food, you'll need a 2nd mortgage. Then the game is 4 hours long for commercial breaks and all the patter and planning. For a while there, you could watch college games that weren't boring, then they got overrun with profit seeking, and it's crept into the minor league stuff now too. I swear if played catch with my son, someone would show up and try to monetize it.
This guy's the out you've been waiting your whole life for.
“Ok, you’re my man, go geet him kiid.”
Love Lou.
That first pitch from Ricky is just...(chefs kiss) magnificent. I can't stop watching it. It's so fast and concise. So powerful. So controlled. So...opposite of Ricky. His final form.
James Gammon was perfect to be cast for the role. Had the quintessential look of a MLB coach and attitude. Many other great performances in his acting career !
How do you feel about managing the Cleveland Indians?
"Ohh. I don't know... " 😂😂⚾⚾😂
@@KingGorillaWarrior What if we change their names to The Guardians?
Don Zimmerman
Hats off to the sound design on this movie. There have been several attempts in baseball movies to replicate a raucous crowd but I don't think any of them eclipsed this
They actually filled County Stadium in Milwaukee with thousands of extras that got paid practically nothing. It feels authentic because it largely is.
@@mattdeaver6850 If I ever get reminiscent about County Stadium, I turn this on. Miller Park is great but there is this! WTMJ4 signs all over....classic
I have a friend was in the crowd during this filming.
It's mostly cgi npcs and AI avatars
@@HockeyFan1972 agreed. Country Stadium looked fine field wise, but it was a hole... but i still get a little misty eyed thinking about it. Braves won a world series there. And the brewers almost won one too.
Its good to see how sergeant Barnes and Chris became good pals after all that drama in 'Nam
Jobu???....what do y'all know about Jobu?
I loved the fact that Vaughn’s issue was needing glasses.
I LOVED THE CROSSED PISTONS AND A SKULL
This movie never gets old. I love it
One of the best entrances in movie history. Have watched this scene and movie a million times and still get hyped every single time
Especially the wild thing song.
Oh Shit, it s him. CRANK IT CHARLY
And it has made its way into all of major league baseball today.
Sheen wanted to throw out the first pitch in game seven in 2016 in full Ricky Vaughn gear. If he had done it the Tribe wins. No question.
Yeah, right! 🙄
As a Cubs fan, I’m glad that didn’t happen (although I have to admit, it would have been quite a sight)
@@MrCubFan415 Personally, I think the only way the Indians win that Game 7 is if the Cubs' version of the Wild Thing, Mitch Williams, were to come out of retirement to throw the first pitch.
🤓
I agree completely.
The best Eucker comment is when they were in Philly: "These fans would boo blind children on an Easter Egg Hunt." I still use it when appropriate.
Dad 'n I watched this movie so many times! RIP Pops....
"Forget about the curveball, Ricky...give 'im the heater!"
Note that Lou doesn't even think of telling his catcher what to call there. Most modern managers don't trust their catchers enough to call the darned game.
I've always liked this term too !! "Give him the cheese! The hot, stinky cheddar!"
The fact that Charlie Sheen could throw a ball in the high 80s is still pretty impressive.
He looks athletic enough to be a big league pitcher.
he pitched in college
I could probably throw 80km/h if that counts for anything :)
@@Foomba TIGER BLOOD..
@@qiwang6395 Hehe, had to look that up.
Such classic movies. Remember watching this with my uncle as he was babysitting me and my cousin.⚾️
The Indians truly f'ed not letting Charlie Sheen throw out the first pitch....
"The biggest Indian killer of them all."
Probably wouldn't hear that in a script today.
Yup because everyone's a pussy nowdays.
You even have people being offended that people are offended.
Jim Moses you want to ask American Indian folks if genocide jokes are offensive? Look at the f*cking logo/mascot - people have been protesting to get it changed for decades...really gotta be an idiot (or just in support)
@V. S. Werejester best part is most of those producers who let all these sexist , racist jokes exist in movies back then...im guessing were 95% white rich liberals..
@V. S. Werejester Aged badly? The only thing that aged badly is how fucking sensitive you fucked up snowflakes are
in 2021, the ump checks Harris as he departs and tags him with a 10 game suspension for doctoring the ball
I just rub a little jalapeño inside my nose, get it running.
More like in 2021, the TV and radio stations immediately stop broadcasting the game and cut to a SPECIAL REPORT on the hate crime being perpetrated in the stadium by everyone simply in the act of wearing "Indians" apparel with Chief Wahoo on it.
@@sosaix3545 dam liberals.
In 2021, Harris would have been gone after two innings and 20 pitches. The reason for his early exit? "We need to rest him for the playoff!" Then he goes out for the second game of the Division Series and gets lit up for eight runs in the first inning as their opponents cruise their way to a three game sweep of the series.
Love this whole scene... but my favorite part is the turnaround in announcers. Uecker says "Can you believe this Bobby?", and all Bobby can do is grab the Jack Daniels :) So hilarious.
* Monty
One of the best scene in this movie. Watching this,I would imagine till 2005 that Cleveland Indians was the Houston Astros going for their first World Series ever in history.
I don't know why I love Clu Haywood's reaction to the second pitch, but kicking the dirt, slamming his bat, and saying "F*ck!" gets me every time!
Yes, very authentic.
Because he barely missed it.
@@hectorlopez1069 Because it wasn’t a strike!
Because it's very real. Haywood was played by real-life star pitcher Pete Vuckovich (whose arm helped get the Brewers to the Series in '82) and he'd seen hundreds of hitters swing and miss at one of his pitches and react exactly that way.
@@dentonyoung4314 Vuckovich was the 1982 Cy Young Award winner.
"I hate this fucking song"....greatest quote ever.
That shit kills me everytime 😂😂😂
I don't know. This movie has so many great lines. I kind of like Dorn's "I only got one thing to say to you, Vaughn. (long pause) strike this m**********r out." myself.
Right up there with Neil Armstrong's moon landing quote.
Margaret Whitton was a brilliant actress! Unbelievable comedic timing!
It's the deadpan way she says it that gets me every time.
“This guys the out you’ve been waiting your whole life for” great words of encouragement
Every time this movie comes on I watch it. Best baseball movie in my opinion
This was the best game in a movie....ever.
You god damn right it was
But a better game overall was the opening scene in the old television series LOST IN SPACE, Season Two, air date order episode number 21 entitled "Rocket To Earth," originally broadcast on CBS Television on Wednesday, February 15, 1967 lol..
Bet your ass it was ravenrog.
What is "ravenrog?"
@@jimbotc2000 the commenter on this.
God I miss the 80s.
I always love the 2nd pitch.... Told the batter exactly what was coming. Gave him the pitch!!
And it was both out over the plate and up in the zone, both things Lou told him NOT to do, lol.
Without doubt, one of the most epic entrences in the history of cinema.
Maybe the best baseball movie of all time! Top five for sure.
This, Field of Dreams, The Natural, Bull Durham, The Sandlot and The Rookie...oh shit...TOP 6!
Funniest part to me is what I learned in a BTS doc. The fans on the Yankees dugout weren't told to get on it and dance...they did it on their own!!
And the WTF? look on the Yankee's players faces was priceless.
So it would be suffice to say that the looks on the Yankee players' faces were genuine.
Seriously one of the best sports movies of all time.
No cap
This movie NEVER gets old,...and neither does this scene.
The film perfectly captures the excitement which overtakes a city when their baseball team unexpectedly wins. The 1993 Phillies were a lot like this.
Except the 1993 Phillies didn't win.
@@kadel300 They won the Pennant and almost won the series with a team of players who all had great years.
@@raygordonteacheschess5501 That's what I said. They didn't win.
The Big Red Machine in the freaking 70's! Man was Cincy on fire! Those were the days. Baseball was never the same for me after the strike but I'll always love my Reds, including Charlie Hustle. Rest in peace Joe Morgan!
Rocktober comes to mind
I know this just shows the pitching situation in the 9th but damn if the conclusion of this movie doesn't give us the most satisfying presentation of the end(s) of character arcs in an ensemble sports film ever: Lou's fatherly approach to management paying off huge dividends. Dorn finally returns to being a professional baseball player by setting up Cerrano's absolutely _crushing_ home run with a beautiful hit that perfectly finds the seam. Cerrano just demolishes that curve ball - _finally_ . The last stand of Eddie Harris. Yeah he didn't pitch a no-hitter but he held them off! Hayes' blisteringly fast base-stealing. Vaughn's cannon of an arm with those precision fast-balls, and finally, seeing Jake take off down the line on the bunt, Beringer played it beautifully, with him looking like he was in absolute agony as he ran but going faster than he ever had before...everyone's a star in this final act, and it shows through and through.
Yep, Dorn might have been the MVP of the game. a key hit in the 7th, and multiple great defensive plays.
@@toptenguy1 Absolutely. After...certain events...Dorn balled out. Also, we don't know what Harris' prior career was but given his age, and probable length of career in the Majors, I would pick him for an (eventual) spot in Cooperstown.
One of the greatest Baseball movies of all time.
Agree, one of the greatest
best thing Charlie Sheen ever did.
Major League and Predator 2. Most underrated films of all time.
Cleveland Indians! Chief Wahoo forever!
Simpler times. God, I miss those days. The country was so much cooler back then.
Almost 35 years later and it's still such an iconic entrance. No wonder AEW wrestler Jon Moxley picked this very song as his entrance theme. It gets crowds pumped in an instant.
He only needs to wear the rick vaugh jersey to make it even cooler in his matches.
Fun Fact: After the film came out in theaters, a few young farmers here in German became interested in baseball. At first they played with sticks and tennis balls.
Then they founded the Dohren Wild Farmers.
Today they play in the first league against teams from big cities like Munich or Hamburg. And then they have to drive to the country.
I think it's a nice story.
@@lindameermann3760 This should be it's own comment and not a reply to my comment. Thanks for the story though.
Wild thing always got me hyped
Same

How awesome it would’ve been when the Indians were in the World Series they had Charlie come out with Wild thing playing to throw the first pitch.
That was something discussed in 2016 against the Cubs.
At least among fans I mean. Not sure how the club felt.
Honestly, given they're going to do away with the Indians name either next season or after next season, they should do something now while it would be less of a faux pas or lightning rod for him to wear that throwback jersey.
If they do win a WS. it won't be the Indians. They're changing the tesm namw..
But instead they choked to the cubs
I’ve never been a baseball fan but when I saw this movie when it came out, I now watch it every spring as the season begins. This is such a great movie I still get chills at the end when they win.
Vaughn says “I know my catcher real well. After all, he was my platoon sergeant in Vietnam”.
Lol
Lmao 🤣🤣 Yep Barnes was a animal.
One of the coolest entrances ever
It's a beautiful moment really. A people's hero arrives and delivers. Perfect.
"You want Vaughn?"
"Yeah, he's got tiger blood."
And he's also a wizard from Mars. 😉
And Adonis DNA
I love the scene where Harry Doyle (Bob Uecker) says, "Heywood leads the league in most offensive categories, including nose hair. When this guy sneezes, he looks like a party favor."
"I hate this f*ckin' song!" Cracks me up every time.
Best comment in the movie except “Hats for bats”
Crazy to think that at the beginning of the season his control was juuuuust a bit outside
LOL
XD
Juuussst a bit outside. He tried the corner and missed...
Well, to not see makes this things XD
@@kmetzgar Ball 4.
Greatest entrance in baseball history!
Sheen's list of memorable characters is quite impressive.
wish charlie sheen had been allowed to appear as "wild Thing" when the Indians made the World Series. he volunteered, would have had the place erupt

I like that Dorn knew full well Vaughn had been with his wife.
But he also knew he was innocent (she would have told Dorn as much), and Dorn wanted to win.
So Dorn gave Vaughn what Vaughn needed to hear to relax and pitch his best, thereby completing Dorn's arc of returning to being a team player.
And then slugged Vaughn once they won the game. ruclips.net/video/E6Jwg6oIxII/видео.html

Still, he was an ass for cheating. His wife was a damn hot one.
Yup!! Perfect arc!
@@TudorQueen That's actually one of my favorite parts of the movie. Dorn helping him to his feet. And Vaughn having an "Alright. Is that it? Maybe I deserved it" looked on his face.
