Let's Play Ball! continues its winning season here on @wedrinkandwewatchthings, and this week, we're bringing in a ringer! We're talking about the endlessly quotable, hilariously chaotic, and undeniably classic "Major League," and we're thrilled to have a surprise special guest - and avid baseball fan - joining us! Grab a cold one, because this episode is going to be a home run.
This week, we're breaking down the legendary story of the intentionally terrible (but ultimately triumphant) Cleveland Indians. We'll be dissecting all the iconic characters - from "Wild Thing" Vaughn and Jake Taylor to Pedro Cerrano and Roger Dorn - and discussing why this movie's blend of slapstick comedy, genuine heart, and baseball antics still holds up. We'll be chatting about the unforgettable lines, the ridiculous plot to tank the team, and how this band of misfits became beloved underdogs. Our guest will be bringing their deep baseball knowledge to the table, adding an extra layer to our usual banter.
If you're a fan of underdog sports comedies, you know every line by heart, or you just want to hear an avid baseball enthusiast's take on this absolute classic, then this is the episode you've been waiting for. We're blending our love for this hilarious film with some genuine baseball insights, making this a seriously fun installment in our Let's Play Ball! series. This team may be a collection of has-beens and never-weres, but our episode is definitely a winner!
