Characters in this movie include Leo Durocher, Eddie Stanky, Joe Garagiola, Branch Rickey, Pee Wee Reese, and Red Barber.
Robert Redford and Jack Nicholson were considered for the Rickey role.
The film does not explore the main character's career with the Montreal Royals, but he was hugely popular. After leading the team to the league championship, it was noted: ..."probably the only day in history that a black man ran from a white mob that had love, not lynching, on its mind."
The star is perhaps better known for a role in the MCU.
The star did many of his own stunts, because he believed that his stunt double's performance was not true to the main character's actions (the actual person portrayed in the movie).

This is just gonna be quotes from a movie. Guess the movie it's from.
"You wanna cut my throat, go ahead. You wanna cut my fu*#in' head off and use it for a fu*#in' basketball? You can *bowl* with the mother#*&ker for all I care! Just don't let HIM do it! I don't wanna get killed by this limey, immigrant JERKOFF! I wanna get killed by an AMERICAN jerkoff!"
"You don't know anything about electricity, do you?
No.
As long as you're only touching one wire and you're not touching the ground, you don't get electrocuted.
Yep, that's it. I wonder what the auto correct would have done with F.U.B.A.R in the next line I would have posted? ... What's F.U.B.A.R.? ....-Up Beyond All Recognition.
THOSE quotes I remembered well. The first set sounded vaguely familiar, but I couldn't place them. The second was trying to zip line over an electric fence or something. The first was Roy Tango yelling, but I don't remember the context. Quote three was Tango in his first scene, with the truck, and the extra yelling "He thinks he's Rambo!" and managing to get the line out without choking. The fourth came up a number of times in the movie.
I was surprised to find out FUBAR and SNAFU were both from World War II. We'd all heard of SNAFU but not FUBAR. (Nor BOHICA, for that matter.)
The first time I saw the acronym SNAFU was in a Wonder Woman comic; it was expanded as "Situation Normal, All FOULED Up." A few years later, some fraternity brothers were helping me with a computer program and suggested SNAFU as a label. When I told them what I thought it meant, they sort of grinned and said, I guess it COULD mean that! Sharp cookie that I was, I immediately knew the R-rated version. The "Beyond All Recognition" version was introduced to me later.
The two principal stars of this film appeared in 10 movies together. This was the sixth.
At the end of the theatrical trailer, there is an outtake of one of the stars in the bath tub saying directly into the camera "If I'd known there was going to be a nude scene, I would've asked for an extra million." The crew found this so hilarious, they ended up using it as a post credits scene.
My favorite line: "Then one day you wake up and you realize that you're not 81 any more."

My favorite line: "Then one day you wake up and you realize that you're not 81 any more."
During a scene where two of the characters are walking through the ice fishing shacks, you can see a signpost like the one in M*A*S*H (1972) had in the center of camp pointing out distances to member's home towns. The one in this movie (1993) shows "Kenosha, WI 250 miles," "Fair Banks, AK 3130 miles," and "Rosies, Seoul 6750 miles." This is an homage to the TV show M*A*S*H (1972), which lists this in its trivia: "Rosie's Bar" was inspired by a real bar in Seoul called "Rose's Bar." Located just outside Camp Mosier in Seoul, Rose's Bar was located in an area which had a thriving night life catering primarily to U.S. military personnel. After the war, this section of Seoul turned into a residential area, but Rose's bar continued to exist till 1971 when it was brought down to build small apartments.
This could be Bob Hope and Bing Crosby "On The Road To" somewhere, except the year is wrong. I was thinking this was a "Fast and Furious" movie, but it doesn't sound like it with someone 81 and shacks for ice-fishing.

According to the AFI website, the movie was originally supposed to be released in February 1994. However Warner Bros. had such a successful year at the box office in 1993 that they wanted to have their profits maximized before the year came to a close so they bumped up the release to Christmas Day, 1993, and by February 4, 1994 the original planned release date the film had grossed $54 million domestically before closing with a final domestic gross of $70 million. Although Christmas 1993 was a busy movie season this movie managed to out-gross three sequels to popular movies all released in December 1993 including Wayne's World 2 (1993), Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993) and Beethoven's 2nd (1993) which surprised all in the movie industry because it was predicted at the time to those films would all perform better.

Why didn't you say that 2 days ago Mr. Wolf? Your right Rottie, They are pretty good. Makes it tough on me to get my 2 cents in.

I was way off going with "The Terminal", except that it didn't have any articles of clothing in the title. I assume WordWolf is correct, but I'm not familiar with it. But that's not unusual.

Stallone. Also well-known for reprising his Rocky role. I can't see him in Eddie Murphy's role in BHC, though... George

Correct. Jackie Robinson's number with the Dodgers. A few days ago was Jackie Robinson Day, where ALL players wore number 42.

Strike one. Here's a few more. "Rambo? Rambo's a puttie cat" (pussie cat). Auto corrected word.
"We're gonna get F.U.B.A.R now.
What the hell is F.U.B.A.R?
You'll see".

I can only think of a handful of stars who made that many films together.
I'm going to guess that this pair was Woody and Diane Keaton.
How about
"Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (but were too afraid to ask)?"
