Talk:Major League (film)

message: The article is wrong on the chronology of the events of the bottom of the ninth inning, in the 2nd last paragraph of the plot.  I just watched it once again on DVD, and here's what actually happens.  In the bottom of the ninth, Hayes doesn't bat until Cleveland's 2nd hitter of the inning hits a long fly ball to the wall, but is caught for the 2nd out.  It is at THAT TIME, New York brings out "The Duke", their feared closer.  Then Hayes hits an infield chopper which he beats out for a single.  The rest of the paragraph is correct.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.83.216.228 (talk) 09:09, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

message: Casting section mentions Charlie Sheen's real life fastball topping out at 95mph at the time of filming, while the trivia section just says high 80s.  I guess both could be true, but clarification would help if anyone knows for sure.76.190.164.114 08:09, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't like the inclusion of the comparison with the 2006 Florida Marlins.  Sure both teams did much better than expected, but that happens to some degree nearly every season for some team.  It doesn't seem there is a compelling reason to include them instead of one of many other underdog teams. Mickeyg13 23:41, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Can anybody verify any of the production notes with actual citations?  Between that section and the "Comparisons with Bull Durham" part, this article is loaded with original research.  Really needs a cleanup, but the only way I see to do it right now would remove about half the article.  I'd rather see if we can substantiate some of the assertions and incorporate them into the article proper.  SixFourThree (talk) 21:12, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, it's been a year, and no help.  I'm removing the "Comparisons with Bull Durham" section - if anybody can supply a source for these claims, then please put it back in.  SixFourThree (talk) 14:35, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Just watched the end of the movie this evening and noticed that during shots of the crowd, all of the fans were white. I believe the final game with the Yankees was filmed at a stadium in Milwaukee and wonder if anyone knows why the park had no minority fans?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.111.242.2 (talk) 06:27, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

message: This article seems to have a lot of original research and opinions about things. There are several statements in the article that have no sources. Here is one example- The filmmakers chose the Cleveland Indians as their example of a notorious losing franchise because the actual Indians had a very similar history of futility—the franchise was the butt of many jokes and fit in perfectly with the premise of the film. There are no sources for this at all and saying the franchise was the butt of many jokes is definitely pushing POV. These kind of statements seem like original research,or someones opinion. I am going to remove statements like the example that I gave.--99.177.248.92 (talk) 22:06, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

message: During the filming of the movie, channels "4" (WTMJ) and "18" (Super 18-WVTV) are seen on the scoreboard.  They are unique to Milwaukee and I'm surprised that the producers didn't change them like they did the "Cleveland Municipal Stadium" (from 'Milwaukee County Stadium')before filming?  Too much money to change it?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Potter54904 (talk • contribs) 15:43, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: They probably didn't care enough to change it. Only people in Milwaukee and Cleveland would know the difference and these are hardly major markets. Its a miniscule issue that doesn't affect the movie's content - essentially an Easter Egg... Ckruschke (talk) 18:24, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

message: The wording here seems to suggest that Fourth Base in West Milwaukee has been demolished, but this isn't true. The bar was just on the local news a few weeks ago; they recreated the interior as it was in the film, and recreated the 'celebration' scene for the film's anniversary. Not sure how to rework this to reflect that yes, County Stadium is long gone, but Fourth Base is still standing, and still going strong. TheBigFish (talk) 17:46, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Having not seen any discussion about this, I have updated the article to reflect that Fourth Base is still open and operating, but County Stadium has in fact been demolished. Still working on finding out what I can about Gritz's Pzazz; I may have found a lead on it's location, but nothing definite yet.TheBigFish (talk) 01:06, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
