That’s my favorite, too, although it’s all in the delivery. Runner up, equally all in the delivery: “Look at this fucking guy.”

You’ve got the quote wrong, Scott. “You may run like Mays, but you hit like shit.”

Scott got it right. The quote was directed at the character Willie Mays Hayes (played by Wesley Snipes) who promoted himself by saying he runs like Hayes (a reference to Dallas Cowboy wide-receiver Bob Hayes who was known for his speed) and hits like Hall of Famer Willie Mays.

“This guy is dead!”

“Then cross him off the list then”

Major League is full of great one-liners.

Most of today’s stars are over-rated.
And some of the old ones, like Pucino and Deniro, have been miling it in for years or over-acting like mad.

Probert’s casket was carried to the cemetery on the sidecar of a Harley. I feel like that was a proper send-off. RIP.

He was one of those “that guys” who you always recognized from his memorable supporting performances but couldn’t remember his name.
