Sports / baseball Movie Baseball All-Stars Nerve assembles the greatest team fiction can provide By Kevin Spak Suggested by lwaltz41 Posted Apr 3, 2010 11:50 AM CDT Copied Movie Baseball All-Stars Catcher: Crash Davis (Kevin Costner), "Bull Durham". Okay, so he was a career minor leaguer in the film. We’re calling him up. The team’s young pitchers need the kind of mentoring only he can provide. (youtube.com) First Base: Jack Elliot (Tom Selleck), "Mr. Baseball." Not only has he got a great power stroke, he can help sell hilarious merchandise. (youtube.com) Second Base: Dennis Ryan (Frank Sinatra), "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." You can trust him to keep his focus on the ring-a-ding diamond, and hey, maybe he’ll tap dance between pitches. (youtube.com) Shortstop: Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez (Mike Vitar), "The Sandlot." He's a kid, and we're not positive he's a shortstop, but is there any doubt the Jet was a major league talent? (youtube.com) Third Base: Ed (Ed the monkey), "Ed." What's not to love? He has a rocket arm and good instincts, and he can double as team mascot if necessary. (youtube.com) Left Field: Willie Mays Hayes (Wesley Snipes), "Major League." He's cocky, he's talented, and you can count on him in the clutch. (youtube.com) Center Field: Kelly Leak (Jackie Earle Haley), "The Bad News Bears." To be fair, there might be some chemistry issues. But Leak was born to play and has a history of making bad teams good. (youtube.com) Right Field: Mae Morabito (Madonna), "A League of Their Own." Not only does "All the Way May" have major speed, but there's always a decent chance her bosoms will come flying out. (youtube.com) DH: Roy Hobbs (Robert Redford), "The Natural." The team's star, Hobbes may be prone to slumps--especially when he's acting like a jerk--but he can literally knock the cover off the ball. (youtube.com) Starting Pitcher: Henry Rowengartner (Thomas Nicholas), "Rookie of the Year." He can throw 103mph, and he's the master of the hidden ball trick. What more do you need? (youtube.com) Closer: Rick Vaughn (Charlie Sheen, Major League). Okay, we admit, it's mostly for the entrance music.
