Major League background

Major League

The new owner of the Cleveland Indians puts together a purposely horrible team so they'll lose and she can move the team. But when the plot is uncovered, they start winning just to spite her.

Rachel Phelps is the new owner of the Cleveland Indians baseball team. However, she has nefarious plans: She wants to move the team to Miami for the warmer climate and a new stadium. To justify the move, the team must lose--and lose badly. So she assembles the worst possible team. Among these are a past-his-prime catcher with bad knees, a shrewd but past-his-prime pitcher, a young tearaway pitcher--and felon--with a 100-mph fastball but absolutely no control, a third-baseman who is too wealthy and precious to dive, a voodoo-loving slugger who can't hit a curve ball, and an energetic-but-naive lead-off hitter and base-stealer who can't keep the ball on the ground. Against the odds, and after the inevitable initial failures, they iron out some of their faults and--much to Ms. Phelps' consternation--start to win.
