Major League (1/10) Movie CLIP - I've Been Cut Already? (1989) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
The team plays a prank on Willie Mays Hays (Wesley Snipes), and while he impresses everyone with his running, his hitting leaves much to be desired.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Inheriting the Cleveland Indians baseball team from her late husband, covetous ex-showgirl Rachel Phelps (Margaret Whitton) wants to move the franchise to Miami, primarily to take advantage of the many personal perks she's been promised by that city. But Cleveland won't yield its lease on the Indians unless the year's attendance falls below 800,000. Figuring that chances for this are already good given Cleveland's inability to win a pennant, Phelps tries to make doubly certain that the fans won't turn out by ordering the club manager to put together the worst team possible. The new players include has-been Jake Taylor (Tom Berenger), blind-as-a-bat pitcher Ricky Vaughn (Charlie Sheen), self-protective free agent Roger Dorn (Corbin Bernsen), and Willie Mays Hayes (Wesley Snipes), who is constitutionally incapable of hitting straight. Surprisingly, this band of misfits begins winning games, so Whitton decides to break their spirit by forcing them to fly from game to game in a World War II prop plane, assigning them a rickety old bus for road games, and divesting them of their precious whirlpool.Still, the team's talent and esprit de corps grows, especially after "Wild Thing" Ricky Vaughn dons a pair of glasses and is able to see where he's lobbing his 100-mile-an-hour pitches. Once the players are told that Phelps plans to dump them all whether they win the pennant or not, the team defiantly adopts an "us against the you-know-what" attitude. In a nailbiting 20-minute climax, the Indians face down their hated Yankee rivals in the pennant playoff game. The film's conclusion ties up several loose plot ends, notably the off-and-on romance between the irresponsible Berenger and his "ex" Lynn Wells (Rene Russo). Though set in Cleveland, Major League was filmed virtually in its entirety in Milwaukee, with the Brewers' play-by-play announcer Bob Uecker giving a terrific performance as the Indians' drink-besotted color commentator. The film represented not only the fictional comeback of the Cleveland Indians, but the actual comeback of producer/director David S. Ward, who'd been in a professional slump for several years. Though containing few surprises, Major League was a box-office smash, inspiring a 1994 sequel, inventively titled Major League II.

HIT US UP:

[Bucboy]

I love when he tries to bounce the bat and the assistant coach loses it LOL

[FZeroDragon]

Get him a uniform.

Damn, what a great fucking voice. RIP James Gammon

[darkknight]

I love the coach's response to Taylor: "You better, if you want to make this team". Lol

[stonerose]

"Shit I Been Cut Already" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Wesley Snipes Nailed Every Moment In This Movie I Hated The 2nd Movie Because He's Not In It.

[kprdwd]

Wesley Snipes was almost unknown when he was cast in Major League. Despite being very athletic, he wasn't that fast of a runner and had never played baseball before.

[bandman]

"You may run like Mayes but you hit like s***". Lmao

[BritneyStinson]

Is it me or was that a decent throw to second? Come on short, dig it.

[pdill]

My man, Hays, got out of bed, jumped the fence, got a late start behind the two racing and still won BAREFOOT! I love this movie

[kinslayer]

Wesley Snipes was a great choice for his character.

[Rockhound]

I loved it when he pops it up during a spring training game and he drops and starts doing pushups.

[Skip]

Nice of Hall and Oates to come and run with Willie Mays Hayes

[connorsantillanes]

“You should hit the ball on the ground and be legging them out.” I’ll take Things You’ll Never Hear a Hitting Coach Say Anymore for 500, please.

[Boygonebad]

This movie is so good and still as funny as when it came out. The coaches are underrated.

[Kritacul]

This was a hell of a movie and sadly we won’t see something like it again.

[tisdue]

one of the best ensemble movies ever. the various story arcs are all done so well.

[dlwile]

You may run like Mays but you hit like shit.

[audreybowles]

I love these clips reminding me how funny this movie was. Good baseball, good cast, great comedy!

[captainamerica]

Would I bullshit you about something like that???
You better, if you wanna make this team 😂😂

[yurdp]

1:19 That bat fail kills me every time. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[chrisgast]

"Let me think it over will you, Charlie? I got a guy on the other line about some whitewalls. I'll talk you later." LOL
