26. Billy Heywood, “Little Big League”

One of the most unrealistic movies ever made, this character stands out for the reason that he got to manage the Twins before he was even a teenager. Not the greatest of movies, but his knowledge of baseball in the film, and the fact he did get to manage and own a MLB team, makes Billy Hayward a memorable character.

25. Miles Pennfield, “Hardball”
“I love it when you call me Big Poppa…” those scenes where Miles wears headphones and pitches make for a fun storyline as he pitches on his youth team. Though he eventually pitches without the headphones, to this day sometimes I listen to that song and think of those pitching scenes, making him a memorable character in my book.

24. Johnny (The Angry Indians Fan), “Major League II”
One of my favorite movie characters of all-time, as he really shows just how passionate baseball fans can be. Quaid plays this role perfectly, turning him into a character that every team most likely has who are more passionate that most, but we can’t help but love them. Some of us turn into this character at times, but this character is like this 24/7/365, and sometimes you just want to smack them with your hat. His best quote from the entire movie was: “You rotten bums … You overpaid weenies … Mild thing, you make my butt sting!”

23. Lou Brown, “Major League”
This list has a lot of characters from the Major League series, and Lou Brown might just be the greatest fictional baseball manager to ever hit the silver screen, and he’s probably one of the most successful as he went from selling tires in “Major League” to seeing his team reach the postseason and win in the second edition of the series as he jumped on his hospital bed after suffering a heart attack.
