July 10, 2013Grantland discusses Browns chances of climbing out of basement
July 10, 2013Oral histories have started to run their course a bit when it comes to reliving past events through the thoughts of others. This one by Scott Lewis, however, is simply beyond words. Just read it. You won’t be sorry.

As good as it gets? Jobu 4 life!
only thing is the picture you have is of the ’90 indians, not the 89 indians. notice it has that a-hole Parkman in the pic as well as Rube Baker, a catcher famous for over throwing his throws down to 2nd. And who could forget Tanaka?
oh and i forgot to mention, it’s willie after his facelift, when he was in his big movie star phase..
Sequels are never as good as the originals!
ahhhh, and i am going to watch it on amazon right now. why the hell not?
anyone else around here embarrassed that your greatest sports memory is form a movie? I remember watching this at Severance Mall theaters and the whole place was gong nuts, jumping up and down in the aisles, high-fiving.
Losers.
(by the way – thanks for the link. awesome story)
it wouldn’t be so bad except that they have continued to make sequels but they have never given the Indians even a fictional WS title (not even Hollywood can give us a championship).
truth be told: I have never watched the other Major League films. Thank the lord.
and, i am really watching it right now. Hayes just did the snake on his locker thing to avoid the red tag. great flick.
speaking of which….whatever did happen to that Gentry guy?
Showed my kids the movie for the first time last night, then came on here after the movie was over and found this. Absolutely stellar.
When one of the actual Cleveland teams does finally win it all, the 216 is going to shut down for a week. The celebration is going to be EPIC. I plan on being there.
Heh. Read through the comments at the end of the article. While Cleveland Indians fans immediately “get it”, there were quite a few people who were fooled through most of the “oral history”. Hmmm, should this have been posted on April 1st instead?
