Major League
Director: David S. Ward
Actors: Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Corbin Bernsen
PlotWhen the new owner of a struggling professional baseball team inherits the franchise, she has an ulterior motive. To move the team to a sunnier city, she plans to craft a season so terrible that attendance plummets, justifying the franchise's relocation. To ensure failure, she recruits the most unpromising players: a has-been catcher with bad knees, a brash young pitcher with control problems both on and off the field, a voodoo-practicing slugger who can't hit a curveball, and a speedy outfielder who can't keep the ball in front of him. The team also includes a third baseman who's a former star with a fear of ground balls and an inflated ego, amongst other misfits and underperformers. Thus, the stage is set for what should be the worst season in the team's history.
Despite the owner's intentions, the ragtag group of players finds out about the scheme. Their initial struggles on the field start to give way as they come together, finding camaraderie and purpose in proving their worth. This motley crew, with nothing to lose, begins to win games in the most unlikely fashion, much to the owner's chagrin. As they become a tighter unit, their successes on the field start to build momentum, and they embark on a quest to defy the odds. The team's journey is not just about baseball but also about redemption, teamwork, and challenging the status quo.
