Bob Uecker is to baseball what Morgan Freeman is to penguins. I can do better. Bob Uecker does for this team what Geoffery Rush did for the King. Reaching. Bob Uecker is to David Mamet what Chelcie Ross is to David S. Ward. Wait. Corbin Bernsen is to Tom Berenger what The Dentist is to The Substitute. I'm off the rails. Dennis Haysbert is to Allstate what Charlie Sheen is to Tiger Blood.

I have this fantasy where it’s the bottom of the ninth bases loaded, I’m brought in as the relief pitcher, Green Onions is blaring and the god damn batters hits a grand slam and I’m booed out of the country. Baseball Platoon.

It simply isn't funny; it's more of a baseball drama than a comedy, and it drags on and on. There is about forty minutes of content here stretched to an hour and forty minutes. The love plot is the least interesting part of the story yet takes up a huge amount of screen time. While the most interesting characters, particularly Wild Thing, Mays, the vagisil pitcher and the voodoo guy get hardly any development at all. Good potential, but poorly written.

It might be a little crude and dated, but this is the definitive baseball comedy. Every sport needs a comedy movie, and this is the best one there is for Baseball. It's darn funny, and has a lot of very memorable characters. Really good!

a comedy in tone if not content. also one of the most honest baseball films, and probably does the best job capturing the kinds of people who make it to the majors in the first place. perhaps the most jarring aspect watching this now is the age of the players. where are all of the 23 year old relief pitchers being shuttled back and forth from AAA after phantom IL stints? I guess the Rays didn't exist yet

I suppose this is a guilty pleasure, but nostalgia is such a dominating feeling.

Middling sports film feels like the poor second cousin to BULL DURHAM - occupies an odd spot between POLICE ACADEMY style shenanigans and DURHAM's more humanistic take and never quite satisfies on either count, though Berenger, Sheen and Snipes do their best to bring some life to the film (a giggly Russo is also fun to have around). May play better to baseball fans, though even they may struggle with the oppressively heavy handed musical score!

One of the classic of the sports underdog genre. This is an unashamed slice of 80s comedy that overcomes the trappings of the predictable plot with some good humour and memorable characters, and it's impossible not to get caught up in Wild Thing towards the end.

Fun characters put into the baseball atmosphere make for a winning combination. The humour is 'just a bit outside'.
