Major League is on ...

Cross him off then.

 

Nice thread, Rhody. Don't ever fuckin' do it again.

 

I wonder what kind of season Mitchell Freidman had.

And who exactly was Tolbert?

 

Taylor, what are you doing up here?

Ah, I couldn't quite cut it in the Mexican League.

How's your wife and my kids?

 

Me too. I hate when people say:

"Ball four. Ball eight. Ball 12. Ball 16!"

Not even close.

 

Most underrated line: Some of these guys never had a prime.

 

I have a friend who argues - vehemently - to this day that if the 3B hadn't stopped to say "shit!" on Taylor's bunt, he would've had the out at first base, game over.

 

Same play, my question . . . Taylor puts the bunt and run on the pitch before, but gets brushed back with the pitch. Same play, one pitch later, Hayes breaks from second on the pitch, and the fateful play is history, at least on the silver screen. So my question, why didn't Hayes break on the pitch before? <<I know, because it's a friggen movie>>

 

No. Taylor didn't suggest the bunt until after Willie stole second on the first pitch. He then got brushed back after calling his shot on the second pitch, called his shot again and laid down the bunt on the third pitch.

 

"Remember, fans, Tuesday is Die Hard Night. Free admission for anyone who was actually alive the last time the Indians won the pennant."

 

"See, it says right there; no calisthentics. What do you think of that?"

*whizz*

 

"... he leads the league in nose hair. When this guy sneezes, he looks like a party favor!"

EDIT: I think I once read somewhere that was an ad lib. Brilliant.
