The Making of Major League: A Juuuust a Bit Inside Look at the Classic Baseball Comedy

The author winds up...here's the delivery...juusstt a bit...of inside information on a neat movie.

This is the story of a movie made about the Cleveland Indians in the late 1980s. Back when the Tribe WAS the poorest team in the Major Leagues. Back when Cleveland was known as the City where the river caught fire and " The Mistake on the Lake!". The movie wound up predicting the future for Cleveland Baseball and re-emergence of the greatness of a great place to live...Cleveland! If you like baseball, you have to have seen this movie ( and its lesser sequels)! If not, what is wrong with you? See it...then buy this book and enjoy it. Better yet, buy and read the book and watch the movie again! Lots of inside info on the making of the movie, as that was the goal of writing the book. Praises to Amazon...for having the book available as soon as I heard it was being published! I had my copy and a gift copy for a friend in less than three days, no special shipping! The insider info about the movie, written by the guy who grew up in Cleveland as an Indians fan, and who also wrote the story that sold the idea to the Hollywood folks in the first place back in the 80s. Info about the actors and their training camp, Spring Training as it were, is wonderful. Some of the guys had never played baseball in their lives...others, like Charlie Sheen, we're so good that they actually had been considering careers in the sport before the acting bug bit them...And then there's Bob Uecker as character "Harry Doyle". Perfect casting...who else could have played him? Get this book. Otherwise, you may be committing an Error!! Read more
