Major League

Rachel Phelps is the new owner of the Cleveland Indians baseball team. However, she has nefarious plans: She wants to move the team to Miami for the warmer climate and a new stadium. To justify the move, the team must lose--and lose badly. So she assembles the worst possible team. Among these are a past-his-prime catcher with bad knees, a shrewd but past-his-prime pitcher, a young tearaway pitcher--and felon--with a 100-mph fastball but absolutely no control, a third-baseman who is too wealthy and precious to dive, a voodoo-loving slugger who can't hit a curve ball, and an energetic-but-naive lead-off hitter and base-stealer who can't keep the ball on the ground. Against the odds, and after the inevitable initial failures, they iron out some of their faults and--much to Ms. Phelps' consternation--start to win.

Those Cleveland Indians are at it again! After losing in the ALCS the year before, the Indians are determined to make it into the World Series this time! First, though, they have to contend with Rachel Phelps again when she buys back the team. Also, has Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn lost his edge? Are Jake's knees strong enough to make it as a catcher another year? These and other questions are answered as the Indians recapture the magic and win the championship "their way".

Gus Cantrell, a major-league pitcher in the twilight of his career, is contacted by Roger Dorn, General Manager of the Minnesota Twins, and offered the role of managing the Buzz, the Twins' AAA team. Cantrell accepts but regrets it almost immediately. The Buzz is a dysfunctional no-hoper team with an odd assortment of characters. However, Cantrell quickly sets about making them a winning team.
