Author Jonathan Knight: The Making of Major League
7:00 PM
Please join us as Jonathan Knight, author of "The Making of Major League," gives us a behind-the-scenes look at one of the greatest baseball movies ever.

Based on interviews with all major cast members plus crew and producers, it tells how writer/director David S. Ward battled the Hollywood system to turn his own love of the underdog Cleveland Indians into a classic screwball comedy.

Learn how a tight-knit group of rising young stars (and a few wily veterans) had a blast pretending to play ball while creating several iconic characters. Filled with little-known facts and personal recollections about outtakes and inside jokes, batting practice and script changes, all-night location shoots, bar hopping and more, this is the ultimate guide to the film that reinvented the baseball movie and inspired a generation of belly laughs.

Sponsored by the Friends of the Bay Village Branch.
