These are the best fictional baseball players from movies, no real MLB players. So, no Shoeless Joe from “Field of Dreams”, Dennis Quaid from "The Rookie", and no Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle from “61*”.
Starting Pitching Rotation
#1 - Steve Nebraska (Brendan Frazier) - “The Scout”
The guy was pumping 100 on the bump. Plus, if this is a NL team, he could hit as well.
#2 - Ryan Dunne (Freddie Prinze Jr.) - “Summer Catch”
Even though he used a Rawlings that was probably bought at Wal-Mart, this southpaw could deal. Plus, Jessica Biel would be around the clubhouse.
#3 - Billy Chapel (Kevin Costner)- “For Love of the Game”
Any guy who attempts to pitch a perfect game with Vin Scully on the mic at Yankee Stadium is a winner.
#4 - Mel Clark (Tony Danza) - “Angels in the Outfield”
Sure, he is the worst actor in American film history, smoked with the best of them, and was going to die a couple months after his last outing, but Clark did have a huge heart and an Angel on his side.
#5 - Amanda Whurkitzer (Tatum O’Neil) - “The Bad News Bears”
She could carve on the bump and you know she is tough if she could marry John McEnroe.
Set-Up Man - Henry Rowengartner (Thomas Ian Nicholas) - “Rookie of the Year”
He could pump over 100mph as a 12 year old. Plus, he had veteran pitcher Chet Steadman to help him out and his pitching coach was the thief in Home Alone 1 & 2. Only reason why he doesn’t get in the starting rotation is his mind may be on eating Tara Reid out like he did in American Pie. Oh, Henry has grown up.
Closer - Rick “Wild Thing” Vaughn (Charlie Sheen) - ‘Major League”
He threw hard and had attitude, coming out of the California prison league.
Catcher - Crash Davis (Kevin Costner) - “Bull Durham”
He was the solid veteran that will keep the pitching staff together. Will have the occasional pop in the bat as well.
1B- Lou Collins (Timothy Busfield) - “Little Big League”
We're going to send you the most entertaining Boston Red Sox articles, videos, and podcasts from around the web.
