I am I lived around Cleveland all my life, and I love this movie. Every Indians game I go to there is at least three or four Vaughn jersey's. Are there fans of this movie that aren't Tribe fans.
shareI've lived in Cleveland my whole life, and I'm a huge Indians fan. I'm fairly certain I'd like this movie a lot even if I weren't a fan, but the fact that it's about my favorite team in all of sports makes it a "top 10" film for me.
shareI am from Canton, an hour south of Cleveland and I am a die hard Tribe fan. I love this movie and my friend and I watch it every year the day before the Indiana first game. This movie gets me amped for baseball season and is still as hilarious as the first time I saw it.
shareI'm a Yanks fan and I own and love this movie. It's a hilarious and well-written underdog story. Watching it a couple days ago just made me realize how much I'd like to see a Cleveland team win a championship. The fans are long overdue and have had to go through some of the most painful moments.
shareI am an Indians fan because of this movie.
shareOh God!!!! I don't think I've ever gone to a single Indians game that hasn't turned into a Major League quotefest! Usually there's at least five or six times a game when I hear Harry Doyle's voice in my head saying "Juuuuust a bit outside!"
When a loose cannon flogs a dead horse, there's the Devil to pay!
I am not a Cleveland Indians fan.
Didn't the Indians fortunes start to turn in 1989 after the release of "Major League"?
I grew up an Indians fan because my dad and grandpa were fans. We lived in Illinois, so that was weird. Spent two weekends every summer staying at the Howard Johnson on the lake near Channel 8 tv station and drove along a highway that butted up against a small airport. Got to the stadium before the gates opened and parked right up against the yellow guardrail in the black-rock filled parking lot.
I cut my baseball fan chops on the Indians. Horrible team but they had some great players.... Buddy Bell, Sam McDowell, Gaylord Perry, Charlie Spikes, Boog Powell, Ray Fosse, Rick Manning, Frank Robinson as coach for a spell. The old stadium was awful. 10,000 people at at 70,000 seat stadium. I still remember the Genesee beer sign on the scorboard.
Yes, this movie is great. As a bonus, I went to many Brewer games at County Stadium where it was filmed. I didn't notice the old beer barrel above the bleachers, so they must have done a good job keeping it out of the camera view.

Indianapolis Indians? Sure! (sorry, I'm a Pittsburgh fan)
