Major League

The Cleveland Indians have been slumping for the past 30 years when their owner dies and his wife, an ex-Las Vegas showgirl, takes over. She wants to drop attendance below 800,000 so she can move the team to Miami, so she signs a bunch of misfit players, including Jake Taylor, a past-his-prime catcher; Ricky Vaughn, a convicted felon with a wild fastball; and Pedro Cerrano, a voodoo power-hitting outfielder. However, these players, when they have "something to bring it all together," may not be as bad as the owner hopes....

Character mistake: The sign for the hotel where Jake is staying at in Mexico says Tengo Quarto's para Renta. The word is spelled wrong. It should say CUARTOS. Also, there is no apostrophe s in cuartos. It is plural, not possessive.

More quotes from Major League

Question: How did Willie Mays Hayes end up arriving at camp? Was there simply a mistake on the invite list, or did Hayes end up knowingly crashing camp on his own?

Answer: He just shows up, uninvited. When he first arrives, they can't find his name on the list; he's later (comedically) removed from camp in the middle of the night when security carries him out on his bed (while commenting "This is the guy who wasn't invited to camp"). So, he's relying on his speed and charm to get him a spot on the team... which, of course, ultimately works.
