Major League

1989 · 107 min

A scrappy, good-natured underdog comedy that coasts on locker-room banter and a rousing final inning.

Tagline
A comedy with bats and balls.
Overview
When Rachel Phelps inherits the Cleveland Indians from her deceased husband, she's determined to move the team to a warmer climate—but only a losing season will make that possible, which should be easy given the misfits she's hired. Rachel is sure her dream will come true, but she underestimates their will to succeed.
