Major League/YMMV
- Alternate Character Interpretation: The original ending of the first movie painted Rachel Phelps in quite a different light. In a deleted scene, she confides to Lou Brown that she never had any intention of moving the team, and all her actions were a ploy to motivate them to success. The scene was cut because test audiences liked the character better as a villain.
- Ensemble Darkhorse: Doyle. Also Cerrano.
- Funny Moments: When Dorn refuses to accept Lou's punishment of 40 push-ups for every fielding error during training, the prima donna player breaks out his contract to point where it says he's not forced to do any calisthenics. Lou silently tosses the contract to the ground and pisses on it.
- Pretty much everything Doyle says announcing the games. "Juuuuuuust a bit outside" is merely the capper.
- "Are you trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?!"
- Hilarious in Hindsight: The owner's entire plot. Shortly after the movies were released, Miami was given an expansion team... and Cleveland built the Indians a palatial new stadium. Meanwhile, the Florida Marlins, despite winning two World Series in their brief history (including one over the Indians!), have been beset with financial problems. The biggest bone of contention? Marlins' ownership wants a new stadium.
- The Marlins did get a new stadium, for the 2011 season.
- Taka Tanaka was supposed to be a sign of bad management from Dorn. This was before the Asian invasion of Major League Baseball began, which gave us the likes of Hideo Nomo, Hideki Matsui, Ichiro, and Daisuke Matsuzaka.
- Tanaka wasn't a bad trade because he was Asian. He was a bad trade because A) he didn't speak a word of English, and B) he was bat-shit crazy! Of course, so were about 2/3 of the guys on the team...
- Well it was the other thing too. At the time, playing baseball in Japan was seen as something washed-up American players did to desperately put off the end of their careers a little longer. One can only imagine how it looked to have a guy go the other way around.

- The 1995 Seattle Mariners ended up having quite a few similarities with the Indians' season in the movie: a perennial losing team on the verge of moving that staged an incredible comeback to win their division in a one-game playoff (ironically they were eliminated in the ALCS by the Indians).
- Charlie Sheen with control issues, eh?
- Memetic Mutation: Quite a few lines, but the "This guy here is dead!" "Cross him off, then" exchange is a favorite of baseball fans.
- "Don't give me any of this ole shit!"
- "Juuuuuuust a bit outside..."
- Special Effects Failure: A shot in the third film of Tanaka throwing a ball in from the outfield is clearly green-screen.
