Fail for not including anyone from Eight Men Out or Cobb. Ever heard of Shoeless Joe Jackson? What about Ty Cobb?

And there have been a couple movies about Babe Ruth too.

He hasn't been in a movie, sweet tits.

Actual baseball players not included for obvious reasons.

Kenny Powers is a promising farm club talent who will get consideration once he's in a movie.

Need to expand this to TV characters so we have a spot for Sam "Mayday" Malone.

Chappell had like an 18 year career and pitched a perfect game...and you want him in middle relief? WTF?

Jack Elliot was a first baseman - don't think he could make the transition to 3rd.

And no one from "Bang the Drum Slowly"?

Roy Hobbs would kick any bodies butt. He took a bullet for goodness sakes.

Moonlight Graham was a real person.

You blew it on starting pitcher and catcher though.

He's much more valuable to the club as team physician.

You're absolutely right....and 10 years ago he would have been in the starting rotation.

Extremely valid point, and I thought about that. As silly as it sounds, it came down to the fact that you need to be a littlebit more limber to play first, so I went with the younger guy.

John Candy (Cliff Murdoch) is in the broadcast booth alongside Harry Doyle.

You have Clu Haywood on the bench behind a "first baseman" who actually played right field.

And Jake Taylor from the original Major League would never take a coaching job. That would be the Major League 2 version.

I'll be damned, you're right. For some reason, I coulda swore that Cerrano was an infielder. My bad.

Changes made. I've moved Haywood to first, Cerrano to DH, and Hooch to a pinch-hitter role.

Annie Savoy should be dropped from the coaching staff and replaced with Pop Fisher.

It's a good list overall though. If Bump Bailey had a better attitude, he'd replace Tanaka. And I think we're showing favoritism by starting Davis over Parkman, all things considered.

Edit - just noticed you have Parkman listed at OF. He was a catcher.

Edit 2: forget Bump Bailey. Juan Primo gets a roster spot over Tanaka.

Charlie Donovan should be GM...proven track record.

I gave him serious thought. Problem is, Rachel Phelps was able to get him to buckle and go along with her plan (until the end, at least). Ray Kinsella stayed true to his vision and his goals, even when the entire world seemed to be mocking him and telling him he was crazy. This club needs that measure of integrity in the front office.
