Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Rachel Phelps is the new owner of the Cleveland Indians baseball team. However, her plans for the team are rather nefarious. She wants to move the team to Miami for the warmer climate and a new stadium. To justify the move, the team has to lose, and lose badly. So she assembles the worst possible team she can. Among these are a past-his-prime catcher with bad knees, a shrewd but past-his-prime pitcher, a young tearaway pitcher (and felon) with a 100 mph fastball but absolutely no control, a third baseman who is too wealthy and precious to dive, a voodoo-loving slugger who can't hit a curve ball and an energetic-but-naive lead off hitter and base-stealer who can't keep the ball on the ground. Against the odds, and after the inevitable initial failures, they iron out some of their faults and start to win, much to Ms Phelps' consternation. Written by grantss |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Real-life relief pitcher Mitch Williams (with the Chicago Cubs at the time of the film's release) was inspired to model himself after the Rick Vaughn character. He began to wear the number 99 and had "Wild Thing" played when entering games, shortly earning the nickname "Wild Thing." In addition, the modern day tradition of relief pitchers, mainly closers, having their own intro songs was largely inspired by this film. See more » |
| Goofs | It is not an ejectable offense (then or now) in Major League Baseball to run the bases while carrying a bat, unless the umpire believes it will disrupt the play, e.g., the ball is live and there will be a play at the base where the batter/runner is going. Even then, the umpire will probably just call the batter out for interference. Carrying the bat is an ejectable offense in girls' fast-pitch softball. See more » |
