 Qwipster's Movie Reviews - Review: Major League (1989)
MAJOR LEAGUE isn't a great film, but it is largely entertaining and often funny, and that's about the best you can ask for in a sports comedy.
Among the players is a washed-up catcher with bad knees, a high-heat pitcher with almost no control, a high-priced star with no desire to get injured by going all-out, a voodoo-practicing clean-up hitter that can't make contact with a breaking ball, and a fast-running lead-off man who has no talent for hitting.
MAJOR LEAGUE is definitely recommended to sports movie junkies, and of course for those who love baseball.

Rocky, Batman, Alien, and Lethal Weapon are all enjoyable movies that have now spawned at least three follow-ups, and in the case of Rocky, we did have to sit through Stallone's stinker of a fifth episode (although the point might be made that it capped the series off).
Predictably, at the movie's outset, the group is a bumbling gaggle of klutzes that fight amongst themselves and boggle routine plays.
Laughable gems like Major League don't deserve to be ruined by poor sequels, and even though Warner Brothers may not have realized it prior to their distribution of the third episode, they may after it brings in poor box office receipts.

In the first Major League, we got a first class baseball story of unlikely heroes, which held up well even though I thought the personal lives of some of the players was stressed a little too much.
In Major League II, which is still entertaining, I think the chemistry suffered because of this and other continuity issues.
But if you're considering this don't neglect Major League 3, Back to the Minors, which presents many new characters (while retaining several of the old favorites especially Cerrano) and all is well done with spontaneity and good chemistry.

In particular they were interested in tracing the numerous "husmann" families which had been entirely left out of the old County History Book from the 1920’s, as well as tracing the emigrants.
Every citizen of Luster County has a mass of relatives accross the ocean, but since the majority of the emigrants had left Norway more than a hundred years before, the contact between the population in Luster County and their "cousins" in America was about to be lost, if it wasn’t lost already!
In my opinion they have one of the largest collections of Norwegian-American literature in America, many Norwegian county histories, but maybe more important is their collection of local family histories, most of them written by American descendants of Norwegian emigrants from all over Norway.
