1. RMc and His Roster of Rubbish Posted: February 24, 2013 at 07:56 AM (#4375065)Oh. Man.
Shoulda went with "Frequency", or even "Men In Black 3" (both are partially set in 1969, and both involve time travel. Yea, time travel!)
What, no Bad News Bears in Breaking Training?
P.S. Anyone who would rate that moronic The Pride of St. Louis over Death on the Diamond would probably also rate McDonald's over the best restaurant in town.
The Winning Team might be even better.
Several years ago, Bill Murray and John McNaughton were attached to an adaptation of Veeck As in Wreck. Sad it never got made.
Eh, the Royals are featured heavily in "The Bronx is Burning." I think an actor playing Brett is in that. There is also Wally Joyner's cameo in "Little Big League" and his now thriving career in the Christian film industry.
The best Royals cameo however is not in a movie, but was Mike Sweeney's cameo on Saturday Night Live in that sketch that had about 20 MLBers. Sweeney comes crashing in with a pony keg, pretty funny considering how he was in real life.
The best thing about that movie was that the day after it aired on NBC, the Padres hired Jerry Coleman instead of Gary Coleman as their manager.
In the classic Quebec comedy Elvis Gratton, the title character, while on a beach in the Carribean, listens to a tape of a Padres-Expos game.
I know I'm being pedantic, but it always bothered me that Ozzie was batting ninth in that movie, when they say he was on a hitting tear in the post season (hitting multiple homeruns and batting over .400 for the post season)
Well, they actually appear at the end, you know.
Yeah, I thought of Frequency--the Mets were an important plot point. Doesn't Bernard Gilkey get hit by a fly ball while distracted by a flying saucer in the 1st "Men in Black"?
And it's a tv show rather than a movie, but the Keith Hernandez episode of Seinfeld is a pretty good Mets representative.
Seriously, that's a bad pick. The Bad News Bears sequel certainly is not a great movie, but the "Let them play" scene is as good as any baseball movie moment, in the sense that it always makes me happy when I see it.
If you insist, Going My Way and of course, Damn Yankees.
"Brewster's Millions" is the correct answer.
"Naked Gun" is the better movie (Mariners) but some of "Life or Something Like it" takes place during a Mariners game at Safeco Field and I think Angelina Jolie is supposed to be a reporter dating a Mariners player.
"Night Game" is awful. "Brewster McCloud" is a surreal Robert Altman film where the main character lives in the Astrodome. I can't recall if the Astros play a game in the movie or not.
Is "Game Six" a better representative for the Mets? I also remember that terrible Sandra Bullock rom-com "Two Weeks Notice" had a scene at Shea with Mike Piazza.
Is that any good? I'd never heard of it. Pretty good cast list, though.
There was an episode of Homicide: Life on the Street where a Yankee fan is killed on the stairs at Camden Yards during a midweek day game. Armando Benitez and Scott Erickson make cameo appearances as themselves.
Having clicked through to TFA, my beloved White Sux are represented by a Julia Roberts movie? Free Jack Parkman!
I prefer the game between the Pyke Mariners and the Sunspear Rays.
Especially poor choice since Eight Men Out is a really good movie.
It's fine.
Eh, the Dornish never come out to support their team. If any team ever gets relocated, it should be them.
IMDB says the recent remake of "Get Smart" with Steve Carrell was filmed at Olympique Stadium in Montreal, but no one saw the movie, so no one can confirm.
My favorite use of Stade Olympique in the movies.
Jacques Doucet's voice is in the trailer too. This movie looks pretty cool, it's a shame it's so hard to find on DVD.
It must have been a family thing; Brown's son, Joe L. Brown, was the Pirates GM for many years.
Try the scene in Speedy where Harold Lloyd races a terrified Babe Ruth from downtown Manhattan to Yankee Stadium in his taxicab, yakking at him the whole way while paying no attention to traffic.
---"Gee, Babe, you've done more for baseball than cheese did for Switzerland!"
Yanno, I generally avoid Will Ferrell movies, but you present compelling evidence that I should rethink this position.
Ha, ha, but seriously, it's a very fun movie.
