Major League II movie corrections

In the final game of the movie, in the scene after Parkman collides with the Indians catcher, Hayes comes to bat and Doyle says Hayes will try to pick up the runner from 3rd. However, we get a quick shot down to 3rd base and there isn't any base runner down there. See more...

During the scene where Dorn is in the dugout and yells at Jake Taylor that "as General Manager of this team I demand to know when I will get a start?", Taylor answers him that there will be an old timer's game coming up. Fact is, if Dorn is the General Manager of the organization, he would have MUCH more power over Jake Taylor. If he really wanted to play, he wouldn't need Taylor's permission. [It is true that the General Manager is the manager's boss, but usually they allow the manager to make game decisions like that. He could pull rank, and make them start him, but maybe he decided it would be better for the team if he did not.]

From the end of Major League I until spring training and the beginning of Major League II, roughly less than six months has passed. Yet Vaughn has seemingly aged 8 years and put considerable weight on his face for it only being a few months/one season later. [This is likely because the movie was made 6 years later. This is a directorial obstacle and not a mistake with the movie. Otherwise we would say that somehow Willie Mays Hayes doesn't seem to look himself after just 6 short months. Plastic surgery?]

Throughout the entire movie, Parkmans' helmets never have a protective piece covering the ear. Any baseball games at any level the helmets have that protective piece over the ear. [This is USUALLY true but not entirely, especially in the 80's. I remember several of my favorite players, including then Chicago Cub's catcher Jody Davis, wore the same kind of helmet and I used to wonder that myself. Rare yes, but not unheard of.]

In this movie, Roger Dorn buys the team from Rachel Phelps. But, if you remember the first movie, there was a scene where Jack Taylor goes over to Dorn's house to confront him about "why Dorn didn't come up with that grounder that Rucker hit in the 9th?" Dorn replies that he'll become a free agent the year after next. Hence, that means he has a full season under contract after their one-game-playoff win against the Yankees. The problem is then that in this movie, it's the season that immediately followed their one-game-playoff win against the Yankees. So, how can Dorn become an owner when he still should be under contract? [Almost all sports contracts give the player or the team the right to buy-out the final year of a contract to become a free agent. Or he may have just retired from the game. Either way would allow him to buy the team.]

In the last inning of the ALCS game, when Vaughn comes in, he intentionally walks the batter to get to Parkman. In Major League Baseball, you can only intentionally walk a batter if first base is unoccupied. There were runners on first and second, thus making it impossible to intentionally walk the batter. [This is just not true. You can intentionally walk ANY batter regardless of which bases are occupied. I have seen games where a batter is walked with the bases loaded just so the pitcher can get to a weaker batter. The theory being that it's better to only give up one run than a potential four if you pitch to the stronger batter.]

In the movie we are introduced to Rube Baker, the catcher who at times has trouble throwing the ball back to the pitcher. Somebody with this problem wouldn't make the little league baseball level, let alone the major leagues. [Kind of the point of the movie wasn't it?]

In the scene where Cerrano goes into the outfield to assist the bird he hit, he's tagged out by an infielder. The reality is that he was out the second he ran out of the baselines. Rule 7.08 of Major League Baseball: Any runner is out when: (a) (1) He runs more than three feet away from a direct line between bases to avoid being tagged unless his action is to avoid interference with a fielder fielding a batted ball; or (2) after touching first base, he leaves the baseline, obviously abandoning his effort to touch the next base. [All the umpire said was that the runner didn't make it home before he was out. An umpire never called him out when he tagged him. The outfielder who caught the ball didn't even tag him, he handed him the ball and said, "I'm sorry, but you're out Mr. Ghandi." The line Doyle said about being tagged out administering CPR to the bird was just his character's attempt at humor.]

At the end of the first "Major League" movie, the Indians have defeated the White Sox to tie with the Yankees. At the start of "Major League 2", Harry Doyle says that the Sox swept the Indians out of the Division Play the previous year. [In 1989, when the first movie was made, MLB had only two divisions in each league. Chicago (Western) and Cleveland (Eastern) were in opposite divisions, so they would've played each other in the ALCS. They did beat Chicago in a regular season game, while the Yankees lost, creating the tie.]

Although the team is still the Indians, this was filmed at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore. [The Home Games are at Comiskey.]
