The games were filmed at Milwaukee County Stadium which was demolished to make room for the Brewers current stadium. The radio announcer in the movie is Bob Eucker.

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.

@newsguy5241 Жыл бұрын

I have read accounts of people who were there at that game. Ruth NEVER "called his shot!" That was a question asked of him after the game by a reporter and Ruth just agreed because he was a whore for publicity. This is pure major league fiction. As for the low quality film--Ruth admitted that he just pointed at the Cubs dugout because they were razzing him.

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!!

Of course this all depends on if they are winning or losing at the time, but yes there is a lot of strategy on which pitchers go out on a particular day.

@@TheGoIsWin21 huge part of the strategy of baseball. It’s pretty rare for a starting pitcher to throw a “complete” game. The decision of when to go to a relief pitcher and who that will be is a major part of a manager’s job. Plus they have to identify ahead of time when that might become necessary, as pitchers require time to warm up and throw before entering a game. Much like a F1 car, if you choose to leave the tires on - or leave a pitcher in the game - for just a little too long, it can be disastrous.

I think a starter may do a complete game if he pitches a 'no hitter'. It means that he had got everyone out without giving up a base hit once once in the game.

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

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.

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?

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).

@MGower4465 Жыл бұрын

Love your reactions. You are so invested in the movie. Wesley Snipes as Willy Mays Hayes is gold - he got the action hero bug after this and decljned to reprise his role in the sequel. And got roasted in the script. Yes, catchers can use "chatter" to break the hitter's focus, but its not common simply because the mask now extends back more so its harder to move the jaw, thus hard to talk. Pitchers have very specific roles. Starters are the workhorses and usually rely on precision to make batters miss. There are usually 3-4 starters who rotate, not 2 as here. Middle Relievers step in when the starter gets tired, usually the 6th or 7th inning. The Closer, tge guy nicknamed "The Duke" here, is usually a power pitcher relying on pitching speed, but because they throw so hard, Closers are rarely, if ever, good for more than one inning, so they come on to get the last few outs to seal a win. Sometimes hard-throwing starters switch to closer as they reach the second stage of a pro career since they throw fewer pitches and put less stress on their arm. The pitch up and in on a batter, termed "chin music" is a dangerous pitch, and was Duke's way of expressing his opinion of Jake calling his shot (predicting a home run hit). It tends to lead to ill feelings, and is much rarer in the National League, where pitchers have to take turns at bat, and could get up-and-in pitches in response. The Cleveland team (they are not "Indians" now) and the Yankees are Anerican League, where another player takes the at-bat turn for a pitcher. Trivia: in a real game, after Cerrano's big hit, he would have been called out when he touched first base. A hitter-runner, which Cerrano is at that point, must discard the bat before reaching first, while Cerrano carries his all the way around.
