Your Average JoeTCFB Tribute To Best Baseball Manager In Movie History...Lou Brown
July 21st 2010 16:30
Whether it was a quote...
[Willie Mays Hayes has just made a 'basket catch' to end the inning]
Lou Brown: Nice catch, Hayes. Don't ever fuckin' do it again.
Lou Brown: [Lou's talk to the team before the opening day game] All right people, we got 10 minutes 'till game time, let's all gather 'round. I'm not much for giving inspirational addresses, but I'd just like to point out that every newspaper in the country has picked us to finish last. The local press seems to think that we'd save everyone the time and trouble if we just went out and shot ourselves. Me, I'm for wasting sportswriters' time. So I figured we ought to hang around for a while and see if we can give 'em all a nice big shitburger to eat!
Lou Brown: Come on Dorn, get in front of the damn ball! Don't give me this "olé" bullshit!
Or an action...
Roger Dorn: See, I've got it right here in my contract. It says, "I don't have to do any calisthenics that I don't feel are necessary." So what do you think about that?
Lou Brown: [drops the contract on the ground and urinates on it, then walks off]
RIP to the best baseball manager in movie history, Lou Brown, aka James Gammon. Gammon passed away a few days ago in California. He was 70.
Major League still goes down as my all-time favorite baseball flick; followed by Bull Durham & Field of Dreams. Gammon pegged that role. Perfect casting.
Carry on, people.
Chuck

I remember the coaches voice saying "Even you Dorn" after the coach is telling the team how ownership wants to get rid of all of them and Roger Dorn says, "Even me"..
Dorn was funny.."You expect me to dive for a ball, I'm approaching retirement".
Coach was hilarious telling Willie Mays Hayes that "You may run like Mays but you hit like shit"...
