He said he actually crushed one, and in the interview, they cut to the video they had of his home run.

The reason Hays was trying to steal 2nd base with 2 outs was to take remove the possibility that either he or Taylor could be forced out. The further Hays moves towards 2nd base, is less distance he has to run to reach it when Jake bunts. But they weren't expecting the bunt, so all the players were playing deeper than normal, which forced the throw to 1st base to get Taylor was late in getting there. While this was going on, the Yankees thought Hays would hold up at 3rd base, but he didn't, so they had quickly throw home to try catch him. It was a gamble, and it worked.

Also, the "called shot" is a piece of MLB history. In the 1932 World Series Babe Ruth was being heckled by the Chicago Cubs fans, so he pointed to the bleachers in effect "calling his shot". There is some very low quality video that seems to back up that it really happened. He then proceeded to hit a home run in the general area where he had pointed. In this case, Jake does it as a distraction so they are caught off guard when he instead bunts and runs it out to first. It's a very cool misdirection play.

I am a 44 year old, lifelong Clevelander. Lifelong Indians fan, and they will ALWAYS be the Cleveland INDIANS to us. This movie came out in 1989, and at that point the Indians hadn’t finished higher than 3rd place in the old AL Eastern division since finishing 1 game out of first behind the Chicago White Sox in 1959 (they were an annual contender in the 1950s, they’d won the 1948 World Series and got swept in the 1954 Series). They were notoriously horrible for 30 years at that point. So when this movie came out, we all felt a sort of cathartic release. And then when the Indians finally did become real contenders throughout the 1990s in our new stadium at Jacobs Field in 1994, the movie felt like art imitating life. Kenny Lofton was Willy Mayes Hayes. Albert Belle was Pedro Cerrano. Even our manager Mike Hargrove had a little Lou Brown in him! Charlie Sheen himself threw out the first pitch of one of the 1995 World Series games in Cleveland in his full “Wild Thing” movie outfit. In fact Bob Euker himself broadcast many of the Indians 1995 playoff games on NBC in the booth with Bob Costas!! This movie is an absolutely iconic gem in the hearts of all real life Cleveland Indians fans!! Thank you for reacting to it!!

A couple of points: Bob Uecker (Harry Doyle) is a Hall of Fame announcer for the Milwaukee Brewers, and the stadium scenes were filmed at County Stadium in Milwaukee. County Stadium has since been replaced by Miller Park. One more Milwaukee connection: The Yankee first baseman was played by Pete Vuckovich, who was a pitcher for St Louis and later on Milwaukee. He won the Cy Young award in 1982 for the Brewers.

That style of catching is called a "basket catch" and, as you say, is not as easy as the usual way of catching a ball - so coaches never teach kids to catch that way. But the basket catch was made famous by one of the all-time great players, "Say hey!" Willie Mays. Which is why Willie Mays Hayes uses it - as an homage to his namesake.

This movie will always have a special place in my heart. I played baseball from the ages of 6-23 before I stopped playing competetively and was never top of any one position, but could play every position pretty well and often found myself as a backup pitcher too. Couldn't make the ball move much, but as a big kid I could sling consistent fastballs. When I got glasses at about 13, one of my coaches kept calling me wild thing because of the goofy unbreakable glasses I had for sports, and since my parents were big movie buffs they thought it was hilarious and howed me this movie. That season I even started a few games pitching and cut my hair just like Charlie Sheen's, it was one of the most fun seasons I ever played and we went almost undefeated all the way to the state championship before we got knocked out. I even named my first car Wild Thing after this movie, and it has a two-tone jagged paint job that kinda looks like Charlie's zigzag haircut lol.

26:55 "Why wouldn't they have him be the pitcher all the time?" The simple answer is, the mechanics of pitching a ball that fast, sometimes with curves and twists in the motion, is very damaging to a pitcher's arm. After around 100 pitches or so, give or take a bit, that arm is a wet, broken noodle and the pitcher needs to be pulled out of the game for a pitcher with a fresh arm. It takes about 5 days or so, which includes lots of physical therapy from team doctors, to undo the damage enough for the pitcher to be fully recovered and ready for a "fresh" arm. Since these guys play almost every day, that means they have a bunch of pitchers and each pitcher misses most of the team's games (162 games, each starting pitcher averages about 54 games).

IMO the best “walk out” music choice of all time wasn’t even an actual song it was basically just noise. It was when Mike Tyson walked to the ring when he fought Michael Spinks. It was these deafening deep and long tones with the occasional sound of rattling chains. During the stare-down the 31 and 0 Spinks was visibly scared. Spinks was not only undefeated he’d never even been knocked down in a fight. Tyson changed that with a BODY shot. Spinks got up but was then knocked out at 91 seconds in the 1st round. A lot of people believe that the fear leading up to the fight had him beat before the fight even started and that walk out “song” certainly didn’t help hahaha

I was in the crowd for the final game, along with my mom and my brother. Can I find us? Nope, not even in Blu-ray. But I know we're there. And even if I wasn't there, I'd still love this hilarious movie, seeing the now-gone Milwaukee County Stadium (with local ads and stations plastered all over the place), seeing former Brewer (pitcher!) Pete Vuckovich (Clu Haywood with the Yankees in the movie), and long-time and still-current radio voice of the Brewers, Bob Uecker (the blu-ray has a great mini-feature on him with a bunch of hilarious ad-libs that didn't make it into the movie). I can almost smell the spilt beer. A blast. (Also was at Miller Park for a night of filming "Mr. 3000", but the less said about that one, the better...)

This movie is so good that my wife, a life-long Yankees fan since the early 80s, loves this movie, even with the Yankees as the “bad-guy” team.

“Is 96mph good?” That’s cute. It’s very very fast. It was especially fast when this movie was made. Somehow it seems like every guy is throwing upwards of 100 but it’s still a blazing fastball. 🤙🏻

The older pitcher was played by Chelcie Ross, and yes, he played Dr. Harper Avery in Grey's Anatomy, as well as Harold Pierce in Scandal. But you most likely recognized him as Head Coach Dan Devine from "Rudy."

One of my favorite baseball movies of all-time is THE ORIGINAL Bad News Bears. Absolutely fantastic movie. The sequels and the remake not so much. But THE ORIGINAL is absolutely one of the most underrated sport movies ever. I really hope you would watch it. A close second would be the football movie THE ORIGINAL Longest Yard starring Burt Reynolds. Classic! Two really great 70s movies. ✌ ☮

Love your reactions!! It's like sitting across from a good friend while watching these! When the movie came out in 1989, the last time the Indians had won the division/league was in 1954, and in all of that time came in no better than 4th in a six (then seven) team division since 1968. They were a running gag in baseball for decades in how bad the team was. The funny thing is, within a few years, they built a powerhouse team that dominated the division - coming in first 5 out of 6 years starting in 1995. Granted, they still haven't won the World Series since 1948, though. Most famous walk up song (other than Wild Thing's): Mariano Rivera "Enter Sandman" My walk up song? Probably the Intro to Nightwish's "Ghost Love Score"

I was born in Cleveland in 1971. Literally, there was NOTHING to celebrate in sports until this movie came out. They used to show it in bars on opening day. Meanwhile the Guar/Indians haven't won the World Series since 1948.
