    I think the premise was to eliminate real-life players, whether played by themselves in movie appearances. Otherwise you could throw in Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, Randy Johnson, Ken Griffey, Jr., Barry Bonds and quite a few others, just off the top of my head.

    Well, you could strike a good balance of ability and trash talking with Jake Taylor.

    Remember Cantrell's rule: Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.

    If you want the movie to bomb, go with Leonard Huff from Major League: Back to the Minors (worst movie ever made) as the manager. Whenever Ted McGinley used to join the cast of a long-running TV show, it signaled the end of the show (Happy Days, Love Boat, Dynasty, even Married with Children, although it held on a bit after he was a replacement character...).

    Benjamin Franklin Rodriguez could play a mean center, place the ball anywhere he needs to when at the plate, and would obviously hit leadoff.

    I will also nominate "Hercules" aka. "Beast" for an outfield position, though he can be a little slow on the chase.

    Lou Brown is our skipper, as long as we can call him back later.

    He's got a guy on the other line about a set of whitewalls.

    Great idea for a post - I gotta give some love to Geena Davis in a League of her Own for the split-legged catch alone. Props to creole for Cecil "Stud" Cantrell at pitcher. Gotta have Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn out of the bully.
    And for the Umpire - we gotta have Leslie Nielsen from Naked Gun.

    And, doing double duty, Enrico Pallazzo can also sing the Star-Spangled Banner.

    Lou Brown is most definitely the skipper.

    Kamikaze Tanaka as the centerfielder...Hamilton "The Babe" Porter as the third string catcher behind Taylor and Parkman...Clew Heywood gets the nod at first (he won the Triple Crown for Christ's sake)...Chet Steadman for the setup man anyone?

    I think we're still short a lefty on the bump, a DH and a second and third baseman.

    If you have Chapel on the mound, you <i>have</i> to have Gus Sinski catching him. Chapel won't have anyone but Sinski behind the plate.
