coincidentally, a year after this film was released, the actual cleveland indians team made it to the 1995 world series, which was the team's first playoff appearance in 41 years. the indians ended up losing in 6 games to the atlanta braves. in the lead-up to game 3, the first world series game played in cleveland in 41 years, the pa system played "the house is rockin", the song from the end of "major league ii". in another coincidence, bob uecker served as a commentator for the 1995 world series television coverage on nbc. two years after that, the indians made it to the world series again (also telecast by nbc and again with uecker as a commentator) ended up with the same result, this time losing to the florida marlins in 7 games. it would be 19 years before the indians returned to the world series, which they would once again lose in 7 games to the chicago cubs.
