Cleveland Indians Coach Lou Brown, from Major League (1989)

Delivered to graveled perfection by character actor James Gammon (1940-2010). Oddly enough, it’s the one line from the film that’s stuck with me. Major League’s on a short-list of great baseball movies, which includes, in no particular order:

• The Natural (1984)
• It Happens Every Spring (1949)
• Bull Durham (1989)
• Eight Men Out (1988)
• The Stratton Story (1949)
• Field of Dreams (1989)
• The Bad News Bears (1976)
• The Pride of the Yankees (1942)
• A League of Their Own (1989)
• Angels in the Outfield (1951)
• The Rookie (2002)
