Let the popular Major League quotes begin to honor a very good supporting actor.

 

God wanted a set of whitewalls.

 

Heaven will never run out of towels.

 

Heaven needed someone to piss on Corbin Bernsen's contract when his time comes.

 

Steinbrenner just hired him.

 

.....and then threatened to move the team to Florida.

 

That's too bad. I really wasn't familiar with him until I saw "Major League." I thought his role was the best casting choice in the movie, and I followed his work ever since. RIP.

 

Excellent "where have I seen him before actor," but for me, the answer was "Major League."

So out of context in "Cold Mountain" or whatever the name of that one was.

Too bad he couldn't teach Charlie Sheen control.

 

I wonder if ole bullshit is more of a hell kind of thing.

 

I wasn't able to watch "Cold Mountain" without cracking up everytime he came on screen and wondering if he'd tell Nicole Kidman to forget the curveball! Give 'em the heater!
RIP. Now Heaven's softball team will have someone to tell them they may run like Mays but they hit like shit.

 

He was funny in his bit part in Silverado as well.

 

Thought this was about O.J.'s former father-in-law.
