Major League is great. Major League II, less so. But it’s still a fun movie and a great vehicle for Bob Uecker. How well do you remember the baseball sequel?
Take the Quiz: Major League II
[Take the original Major League quiz.]
Your Major League II quiz has an error on it. The question about where does Parkman get traded is wrong. He gets traded to the White Sox, not the Tigers.

And his name is Jack Parkman, not Jake.

You guys are right on – I checked the wrong box on one of those questions. Many apologies to anyone who got that wrong erroneously. Just chalk it up to my Rube Baker-esque ignorance of modern technology.

A major reason for it being filmed in that city was: The new stadium had been built and the old one had not been torn down yet – so they were able to file both home and away games just a few miles apart.

I guess it helps that Comedy Central was running the movie on a regular basis all last month. 9/10. The only question I got wrong was the last one. also, the warehouse behind the stadium was a dead giveaway for the stadium question.

Oh so close! 9/10. I missed the last one.
