Two of my favorite sports movies of all-time are “Major League” and “Major League II,” the fictional movies from the late 80’s/early 90’s about how a Cleveland Indians owner tries to put together the worst team possible, so that she can eventually move them out of the city.
For those who haven’t seen the movies… spoiler alert!!!!… it doesn’t work! In the first movie the Indians make a surprise run to the playoffs. In the sequel, they make it to the World Series.
Of all the scenes in those two movies, one of my favorites comes late in Major League II, when it becomes obvious that the team is again going to do the unexpected and win big.
