Directed by David S. Ward who would go on to make several other classic sports films, Major League is a quintessential sports comedy that captures the chaotic charm of America’s favorite pastime. The film follows the Cleveland Indians, a struggling baseball team assembled by its new owner, who secretly wants them to fail so she can relocate the franchise. Against all odds, the ragtag group of misfits, including a cocky rookie played by Charlie Sheen, a seasoned catcher played by Tom Berenger and an eccentric voodoo-practicing outfielder played by Dennis Haysbert, rallies to defy expectations and aim for victory.
