Major League and IMDB

[greymule]

I registered on the imdb site long ago and have sent in many revisions and corrections, often from my father, who was a TV and Broadway actor from 1947 to 1954.

This is from the imdb page regarding Major League:

"Factual errors: In Cerrano's last at bat in the playoff with the Yanks, when he hits the homerun, he rounds the bases with his bat. This was, and still is, illegal, and he would have been immediately ejected from the game, as he turned toward second base with the bat still in hand."

Anyone desiring to be nauseated by a Hollywood portrayal of an "umpire school" should obtain the DVD of Kill the Umpire, with William Bendix. In one scene, the umpire calls an out at 3B and the entire team comes out of the dugout and stands around the bag while the manager argues. On the positive side, the disc also contains the classic Safe at Home, with Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, and a few other recognizable Yankees.
