FEATURE THE CLACKAMAS PRINT April 12,1989 Page 5 'Major League' cliche-filled, but amusing byRickPiller Movie Critic When God created baseball the Cleveland Indians missed spring training, or so the new owner of the team, Margaret Whitton would have hoped in the new film Major League. Whitton, played by Rachel Phelps, inherits the team from her dead husband. She wants to move the team to Florida, where she has a chance for a better stadium contract. The way she wants to accomplish this is to have a team that is so utterly awful that atten dance drops below 800,000 for the year. She does not like Cleveland. From a list of players she pulls together a team. This team does not look very good, in fact saying that they-are alive would be a compliment The team includes: as catcher Jake Taylor (Tom Ber- enger), at third base Roger Dorn (Corbin Bemsen), at first base: Pedro Cerrano (Dennis Haysbert) and pitching in his first big league game is Rickie Vaughn (Charlie Sheen). Since this is a baseball movie the team has to win (unless the movie is Bull Durham). Though the cliches abound, the movie is pleasing to watch and also very funny. It moves along well except for the love story between Ber- enger’s character and Lynn Wes tland (played by Rene Russo). This scene could have been left out of the movie and it would have been none the worse for wèar. One of the best scenes is thé use of base ball fantasy number 67. This is the one where you are the pitcher of a major league team. It is the 9th inning with only two outs and the bases loaded. The manager calls for you and you walk out of the bullpen to the scream ing chords of “Wild Thing.” With the fans’ applause thundering back and forth across the stadium, and the women tearing their clothes off and asking to have your kids. •You strike out the league’s lead ing homerun king with three fast balls and win the game. So I would recommend this movie because without the cliches it would not be a baseball movie. What is better than a baseball movie? How about a cops and robbers movie, next week Disor ganized Crime.
