OT: Jobu is coming to a ballpark near you!

OK maybe not NEAR you per se unless you live near Cleveland in which case, if you can be one fo the first 1500 people to get yourself to the Lake County Captains minor league baseball game on August 1st, you sir can score yourself a Jobu bobblehead!

Jobu bobblehead

http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/10973576/lake-county-captains-offering-jobu-bobblehead-major-league-night

 

Why nobody came up with this earlier I'll never know.

Any bets on how much these end up going for on ebay?

Jobu

1) Rent the movie. If you are a fan of any kind of sports its a good movie.

2) Jobu would be the gentleman to the right in this screenshot

He is widely known to be a large fan of rum and cigars and has been rumored to aid in the taking of fear of curveballs from bats.

Just remember when you watch it

1) This was made before Charlie Sheen, Rene Russo, Wesley Snipes, or Dennis Haysbert made it big. Tom Berenger and Corbin Bernsen were the star power.

2) This was made BEFORE the Indians went through their 90's renaissance with Albert Belle, Jacobs Field, etc. When this was released, the Indians were basically the Cubs with a shittier stadium, and less passionate fans. After this movie, it took on a bit of apocryphal context since the Indians ended up turning into a respectable powerhouse for a 5-10 yr period.

3) Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn was the inspiration for multiple nut-case hard throwing relievers in the 90's like Rob Dibble, Mitch Williams, John Rocker, etc. This movie came out right as was playing Little League and so an entire generation of 30-40 yr olds now naturally assume that to get out of the biggest jams in life, you always fuck the curveball and give 'em the heater.

Charlie Sheen was in a couple of minor films called "Platoon" and "Wall Street" prior to "Major League." He was pretty big.

The guy is a nut job now but he was big. Right after major league he started in the oscar nominated piece with his brother: Men At Work (this has nothing to do with Vegemite sandwiches).

I believe the line is

"Don't steal home without it"

You all aren't going to believe this but I actually wrote a paper on Major League while at Michigan. IT was over twenty years ago so I don't remember the content but it was a two credit English class about sports in literature and film.

(You all aren't going top believe this)^2

I believe both of you and will raise you that someone has written a doctoral dissertation on how Dennis Haysbert's rise in portrayals from Pedro Cerrano to President David Palmer enabled the election of Barack Obama as POTUS.

 

"Hayworth hit that ball a mile"

"You know that ball wouldn't have been out of a lot of parks"

"Oh, yeah? Name one."

"Yellowstone"
