MAMEWorld Forums - The Loony Bin - 2024 MLB season underway and the Bad News Bears

A couple weeks late since 2024 season started and that means to me always catching the original Bad News Bears movie that had Walter Matheau and Vic Morrow as the rival coaches in the little league opposing teams.

To me, it is greatest baseball movie ever. It was simplistic, but had entertaining quotes throughout the movie and had some light moments of suspense and drama all from a kids’ perspective. Just as good these days as it was then when I watched it in old Fox big screen walk-in theatre when it used to be single screen theatre in 1976 before the theatre went to multiplex movie theater with multiple movie screens.

A few clips of why original Bad News Bears is worth watching.

Walter’s line as mentioned by a YouTube commenter :

“Get back in the stands before I shave off half of your mustache and shove it up your left nostril" sounds so much like Shakespeare. I love that line! I hope that Walter Matthau enjoyed being in this movie. He seemed to make it a lot of fun.

btw: seeing Pitt Pirates start off 2024 season at 9 wins 3 losses makes baseball season okay for now.
