Billy Heywood

Billy Heywood
We were about to go into a diatribe about the idiocy of a twelve year old suddenly becoming an owner (and manager) of a Major League Baseball team, but come to think of it, Frank McCourt owning the Los Angeles Dodgers and the scenario behind that transpiring is far more ludicrous.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Little Big League (1994)

Actor:
Luke Edwards

Role Portrayed:
Owner and Manager of the Minnesota Twins

Why you should vote for him:
Well, the Twins did get better after he took over.

Why you should not vote for him:
The same team was legitimately earmarked for contraction years later, so how good an owner could Heywood have been?

Ben Wrightman

Ben WrightmanThere is something about the super fan that is a little scary. We love sports (as evidenced by this site), but to the extent that Jimmy Fallon does in Fever Pitch?   We can’t say that we do. At the end of the day, the whole sad sack of the point of the movie (which was to put sports fandom in perspective) seemed to be ruined when the Red Sox cast of the shackles of lovable losers and actually won the World Series in 2004, which forced the ending of the movie to be redone. That renewed finish had Fallon and his love interest, Drew Barrymore attended the World Series “because they had to be there”. Incidentally, this kind of messed up the point of the movie. They probably should have based it around the Chicago Cubs.



The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Fever Pitch (2005)

Actor:
Jimmy Fallon

Role Portrayed:
Superfan of the Boston Red Sox

Why you should vote for him:
You like to watch the Red Sox at the Bahhhhhh. (our attempt at a written Bostonian accent)

Why you should not vote for him:
Is a superfan really Hall worthy here?

We’ll admit that the only reason this is on the ballot is because Nipsey Russell was one of our favorite black comedians of the 70’s and for reasons that still remain unclear to us, his signature elongated “right” during Wildcats, where he was the principal at Central High, seemed to make us laugh every time. Maybe it was our precursor to “Sheeee-it” from Clay Davis, or we really do love peanut brittle. Damn it, now we are trying to figure out how to nominate Davis.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Wildcats (1986)

Actor:
Nipsey Russell

Role Portrayed:
Principal of Central H.S.

Why you should vote for him:
Was not the “great black comics of the 70’s” enough of an argument?

Why you should not vote for him:
It was not a role that did anything to move the plot or did anything but give us flashbacks.

Barbara Jane Bookman

Barbara Jane Bookman
This isn’t exactly a sports movie, though it the primary characters are football players. Maybe that is why we liked the character of Barbara Jane Bookman in Semi Tough, as usually girlfriends in sports flicks are depicted as one dimensional bimbos (though they often are in real life). This was a woman we could actually believe was being fought over (albeit in a very passive way) by two gridiron stars. But again, we raise our initial point; just how much of a sports film was this?




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Semi-Tough (1978)

Actor:
Jill Clayburgh

Role Portrayed:
Roommate/Girlfriend/Fiancée

Why you should vote for her:
It was a very good role.

Why you should not vote for him:
This was barely a sports film.
