I think he meant to say. "You better NOT" but he accidentally left that part out. The director thought it was so funny so he said, let's keep it. I honestly feel that's what happened.
@@boosteddaily1294 interesting theory. Funny how 30 years later we are still trying to figure it out. I always thought it was a goof, and the director kept it anyways. Funny stuff.
I heard that he's not in it because he became a big movie star and thought he was too big for the movie. They take the piss out of him in the second movie
#2 not as good. Lamer characters. Less heart. Too bad. I wanted 2 or 3 movies where they did the obvious plot and won the Series. Instead, we got Major League: Back to the Minors.
Wesley Snipes was almost unknown when he was cast in Major League. Despite being very athletic, he wasn't that fast of a runner and had never played baseball before.
Matt I think John was making the point this was the first major film in which Wesley Snipes had a major supporting starring role. In "Wildcats" he was only in that film for a few minutes screen time.
FYI. Snipes was also a co-starring role in a surprise hit 'New Jack City" in 1991 playing a Harlem area Drug Lord. However technically the lead star of the movie was Mario Van Pebbles who also was the Director played the NYC Police Detective trying to bring Snipes charatcter down. "White Men Can't Jump" was the first Snipes got top billing.
With that kind of speed, all you need is for the defense to put on the exaggerated shift and bunt against it. He would have a double before anyone could get to the ball.
not really, its just nostalgia talking. They used the same scene of him fouling the ball, its just an example of how movies weren't as refined in detail as they are today. Idk why people say things like this, you can have your preferences but movies made today are just better.
outsideredge If he wants to make the team he better say he's 100 percent. Regardless of how he's actually feeling. Which is ironic and funny because he had just made sure he wasn't lying to him.
It sets the tone so well. You know the type of person who would pull that stunt in that situation as well and fail would set the coaches off! Perfect acting
my last names Mays and my mom's maiden name was Hayes. When I left for the military I was always getting called Willie Mays Hayes and never got the reference.
I used to sweat this movie so hard as a kid. In the late 80s/early 90s. You know...when baseball was fun and everyone collected baseball cards. Actually its still fun.
I have always been a fast runner. I should have just shown up to a spring training session when they were doing running drills so they could get me a uniform.
Lol we would quote Lou Brown during the Reds games. I've never wanted a guy to succeed as badly as I wanted it for Billy Hamilton. And he was able to hang around MLB longer than I thought. But he couldn't hit and he never quite learned how to bunt.
I watched this movie in the theatre probably 10 or 11 times. Watched it at home another hundred or so. I have never noticed how long these guys were staring into the air for no reason at 2:10.
What Indians owner Rachel Phelps couldn't do in the movie, Washington Senators owner Bob Short succeeded which was run the team into the ground so they could move to Texas.
And again, executed to perfection by Jeffrey Loria of the, then, Montreal Expos so they could be taken over major league baseball and moved to Washington, DC. With Loria getting the, then, Florida Marlins, now Miami Marlins.
shepardbook You forgot that Loria tried to extort Montreal into building Labbat's Park when the city was closing schools and hospitals and had no money for it. So he traded it to MLB ownership in exchange for the Marlins. He did force Miami to build Marlins Park. Two years after the Expos moved to DC, they finally got a deep pocketed owner in local shopping center magnet Ted Lerner.
It was a joke IMO what Mr. Short did for DC. Should have just sold the team to a local Businessman i.e Abe Polin who later owned the NBA Bullets/Wizards and then NHL Expansion club the Capitals. Worse case scenario Short or another new Senators Owners could have just built a new 40,000-seat baseball only ballpark in say Arlington County Virginia or the Maryland area suburbs. And North Texas (Dallas area)gets a NL or AL expansion team.
Loria should be in jail in way he blackmailed and ran to the ground both the Expos and Marlins. Maybe the most crooked sports owner at least in modern North American sports history.

Tom Berenger and Charlie Sheen played in Platoon a totally different movie than Major League. Both are great films, one a dark serious brutally realistic Vietnam war film....and the other a funny layed back feel good baseball comedy. I just wanted to point that out because its interesting and cool how they both shifted from those two vastly different kind of movies and roles.
Its a top 5 for me. I always have to choose between this and White men cant jump, and somedays its this one, and other days its the other one. They are both classics!
Not only the best baseball movie ever, the best comedy ever. I'm 36 and have easily seen this movie 50 times. Every line is funny. Not a single joke falls flat. Plus there are a million quotable one liners that crack me up. "Jake's a professional baseball player for the Indians". "Here in Cleveland? I didn't know they still had a team". "Oh, ya. We got uniforms and every thing else. It's real great". "I've heard baseball players make very good salaries these days". "I make the league minimum". Awkward
@@iamthem.a.n.middleagednerd1053 that's about $167,600 in today's dollars. A very good living, but probably not enough to impress the rich people at the party.
Even though it's a Comedy-Drama I agree that Major League I and even ML2 are very underrated among the best 'reality' type sports-themed movies made at least in last 35-40 years. FYI. Remember the Titans is of course based on a true story at a High School football team in Northern Virginia (Washington DC suburbs)around 1970.
My favorite part in the entire movie is when that guy from the Yankees say Jesus Taylor, what are you doing back up here? Taylor responds, I couldn't cut it in the Mexican league lol.
It's funny.... Hayes is cut because he wasn't on the roster, nor was he properly invited to camp. So they ejected him. However, earlier in the movie the 3 guys at the diner were reading the spring training list of players and they say: "Ricky Vaughn...Willie Hayes? I never heard of most of em! Mitchell Friedman??" How could Willie Hayes name have been in the paper if he snuck his way into camp and they didnt know who he was??
The stupidity of the team when Mays hits the pop up, it hits the fencing then drops right down and both the players in the back of the fence are looking up as if he hit a high fly ball hahah

It was a solid throw
but he bounced it, and knowing how good Jake used to be, that is why he was upset
"You may run like Mayes but you hit like s***". Lmao
Hayes, as in 'Bullet' Bob...
The cable TV edit was "hit like his sister." I thought that was funnier
Honestly one of the best. That coach had the perfect deadpan delivery. What a classic movie!

I must have been watching the TV version, because I remember it as "You may run like Mays, but you hit like his sister..." Still funny.
one of the best ensemble movies ever. the various story arcs are all done so well.
gotta remake it now with the guardians and an all transgender cast!!!
This was a hell of a movie and sadly we won’t see something like it again.

isn't there going to be a new one of these

The music when Snipes is in the box, is calmingly funny to me.
i love the scene where he hits a pop up in the game and instead of running to first, he just starts doing push ups over the plate LMFAO
This movie was trying to be silly, like 'oh he's fast, let's give him a chance, lol' but now they actually do that.
Yes in NFL
@@ps-yk8su baseball too. There are players that pretty much only get in to pinch run for the slow designated hitters.
