Collins was Tim Busfield in "Little Big League."
EDIT: Mitchell was in "Angels in the Outfield."
Also Sam "Mayday" Malone was not in the movies.
Also Jack Elliot of "Mr. Baseball" should be on the bench at least. And Stan Ross had nearly 3000 hits, he should probably be at 1B. Or at least Haywood.
Fittingly, it's almost the six year anniversary of the posting of Bugs Bunny, greatest banned player ever. According to the intro, it was the first blog entry ever to make into the Best American Sportswriting annual, and it certainly deserved the honour.
Lou Collins was from Little Big League, played by Timothy Busfield, he's the one who hooked up with the kids mom. Griffey stole his homerun in the final game.
Ray Mitchell comes from Angels in the Outfield,(Never saw that movie)
Weren't those shorts, and therefore technically movies?
Henry Skrimshander could be at shortstop too, or at least Aparacio Rodriguez.
Or Kelly Leak for that matter. He can cover the entire outfield!
I'd yank Cerrano.

Either Willie or Cerrano should sit the bench so Bobby Rayburn can play. They are useful but flawed players - Rayburn is supposed to be a Bonds-like power/speed superstar. Though he and Willie do look suspiciously alike.
racist :)
I could see Mike Scioscia making that call.
I'm not sure what position Haywood plays. He sure looked like a 1B/DH. Make this an AL team and he's got a spot.
Actually, with all the really bad Babe Ruth movies that have been made (from William Bendix to John Goodman), I thought Joe Don Baker actually captured the essence of the Babe's personality pretty well when he was the Whammer...oh, and that guy who played Babe Ruth in Pride of the Yankees was the worst.
Hey, I saw a movie with a fictional Joe Jackson - does he count? I know he must have been Fictional Joe Jackson instead of Real Joe Jackson because he batted right handed...
Cerrano and Max "Hammer" Dubois...
I don't think these guys have ever been seen at the same time either.
And Billy Chapel never faced Crash Davis.
Right... plus - Cerrano, from what I learned in the movie, basically struck out all season until his one HR in the playoffs. At least Hayes had that wall of batting gloves which presumably proved he HAD gotten on base occasionally stole a few bags. Nothing in the movie indicates that Cerrano was anything besides 0 for 650 with 650 K's.
Tony Micelli and Mel Clark
"Don't tell me what he hit -- tell me when he hit it."
-Fictional announcer Hawk Harrelson
Edit: Josh Exley was his name.
Indeed. According to It Looked Like For Ever, he retired in the early 1970s with 247 career wins.
Joe Hardy was clearly a better player than most of those bums listed. He took the Washington Senators to the Pennant in the midst of the Greatest Yankee Dynasty ever. The Senators.
Maybe the team is based on career value? Joe was the ultimate peak value player.
O'Brien to Ryan to Goldberg
DB
Also, Stan Ross from Mr. 3000 would definitely have a strong argument to be a starter for this team in his prime. Even knocking off 1 WAR from Lou Brock that's still easily an all-star caliber player.
Sorry, but I didn't get past catcher. Crash Davis was a fine movie character, but a career minor leaguer as the #1 catcher with not even a bench spot for the fictionalized Josh Gibson (Leon Carter)? Pass
This is a frickin' joke.
"Angels' Right Fielder" clearly belongs on here. And what about Angels pitcher (and BBTF poster) Dave Spiwak?
You've gotta have Eddie Harris as a swing man.
Surely, Jim Barton (Bouton) can make the pitching staff.
As noted previously, The Whammer is an obvious miss.
And right-handed-hitting Joe Jackson.
The trick is to listen to the ST scene in Major League 2. They clearly state that WMH was the best leadoff hitter in the game, and that Cerrano led the team in most offensive categories (including total baldness)
For me the biggest travesty is wasting Wild Thing in the pen. Make Clark a coach put Vaughn in the starter's spot, an ace starter is worth 3 closers.
edit: I'd also point out that Vaughn only had 2 good relief appearances in both movies. One at the end of ML 1 (he was a starter until they put him in the pen for the last game against Chicago) and he was bad even in the pen in ML 2 until the last game of the season. That's 2 good relief appearances in 2 seasons, opposed to most of a season as an ace starter.
As much as I love Major League 1 & 2 (a lot) this list is just too heavy with those movies. Dorn at 3rd? Rube even making the list at C? Not to mention he apparently didn't pay too much attention as Haywood wasn't the one who threw at his kid, it was the relief pitcher they sacrificed Dorn to.
Chip Hilton? 3 sport (at least) phenom?
I didn't realize that, I always pointed to Kirk Gibson as an MVP without an all star appearance, never thought to look for a pitchers equivalent.
Roy Hobbs and Henry Wiggen are characters from novels.
That also had movies made.
The characters came from novels.
The characters came from novels.
Spike Nolan was at least as good as Crash Davis.
I question whether Darryl Palmer from The Slugger's Wife had a better single year in RF than Roy Hobbs did.
As far as I know, they were both pretty much one-year wonders.
He's a fictional fictional character.
