Roger Dorn
Sep 16, 2013
Published in
The Athletes
When the first Major League came out in 1989, Corbin Bernsen was one of the top television stars in the United States. His portrayal of the slimy, yet affable Arnie Becker on L.A. Law made him a star. With magazine covers and Emmy nominations, what is the next step for every television star of that level? Why a stab at feature films of course!
With a high billing, Bernsen was cast as the team’s lone super star, Roger Dorn, whose unlikable character was only concerned with preserving his worth for another large contract; basically shown by his lack of hustle for fielding ground balls. So just were the highlights for Roger Dorn?
Watching his Manager, Lou Brown take a piss on his contract.
Letting Cerano (a rookie) take his golf club cozies for a “hat for bat”
Finding out his wife slept with the other rookie (Ricky Vaughn) who he antagonized in Spring Training.
It wasn’t all bad, as his single led off the rally for Cerano to tie the game in the 7th against the Yankees, but who remembers that?
When Major League 2 came out, L.A. Law was pretty much over, as was what was left of Corbin Bernsen’s hairline. Roger Dorn bought the Indians (foreshadowing the ability of players to actually buy into franchises only a few years later), though he would wind up back on the team in a bungling role (where his highlight was leaning into a pitch to get the walk). Actually, Dorn’s fall from the Baseball pecking order mirrored Bernsen’s fall from the primetime television. Somehow Dorn’s character became the owner for the Minnesota Twins in the third Major League film, but for the life of us, we can’t remember how that happened in the plot. Although, weren’t the Twins legitimately looked at for contraction a few years later? Perhaps it was due to the fine management of Roger Dorn.
The Bullet Points:
Movies Appeared:
Major League (1989)
Major League II (1994)
Major League: Back to the Minors (1998)
Actor:
Corbin Bernsen
Position Portrayed:
Third Base/Owner
Played for:
Cleveland Indians
Why you should vote for him:
In his defense, playing third isn’t easy.
Why you should not vote for him:
Remember his wife cheated on him. Athletes are supposed to cheat on their wives (which did happen in the movie) but for the opposite to happen? Unacceptable!

Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn

The 2014 Fictitious Athlete Inductees
Class of 2014 Inductee: Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn
Major League (1989), Major League 2 (1994)
Cleveland Indians Pitcher
The cast of characters from Major League may have been the most colorful group of characters ever assembled on a baseball diamond, but those who watched the 1989 classic generally believe that the man who stood out the most was Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn.
He had the unique “veg head” haircut. He had the black horn-rimmed glassed with the small silver skull and crossbones on the bridge. He had the “I don’t give a f**k” attitude and he could throw a baseball 100 miles per hour. He was the kind of player that men wanted to party with and women wanted to sleep with, even his teammates’ wife!
On the field (and let’s just focus on the first film), he had his crowning achievement by finally beating the Yankees and striking out Clu Haywood, who had crushed them all year and putting his Indians in the position to win the deciding game of the division. That moment alone is Hall of Fame worthy, and of course aided by the fact that we watched his game mature (though not necessarily the man) through the season. Like Coach Brown said, he was a big reason they got there!
Charlie Sheen, who was at the apex of his movie career, was perfectly cast as Vaughn as the role did require certain aloofness and quite cool that Sheen provided. Nobody (and probably not Sheen himself) would ever say that he had a lot of acting range but there are times you don’t need a great actor to play a character (the film had that in Tom Berenger as Jake Taylor), you just need someone who is a character.
For the role, Sheen claimed that he took steroids to bulk up and he was able to get his fastball to roughly 80 miles per hour. That may not be Major League level (pardon the pun), but it made him look like a pitcher and mechanically he was sound enough to be believable; and yes, something like that SHOULD matter in terms of entering this Hall of Fame.
Now what kind of Major League career would he have had? As the reported Major League 3 (we’re not counting the Back to the Minors) film that he was reportedly to be a part of never materialized, whether it be as a mentor (older player or coach, we have no idea), but whether Vaughn entered the Baseball Hall of Fame, or flamed out after two seasons, this was a Hall of Famer based on what we saw.
Chalk one up for the California Penal Baseball League!

Ricky Bobby

The 2022 Fictitious Athlete Inductees
Will Farrell returns at his comedic best as NASCAR racer Ricky Bobby. We lost count on the amount of laugh out loud moments regardless of the absurdity of the situation, and it still gave us what we wanted as sports fans; plenty of racing action. Ricky Bobby and Jackie Moon were only two years apart; and it would not surprise us to see both enter the Hall quickly.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Talladega Nights: The Legend of Ricky Bobby (2006)
Actor:
Will Farrell
Position Portrayed:
Nascar Driver
Played for:
Dennit Racing Team
Why you should vote for him:
Farrell was at his satirical and comical best here.
Why you should not vote for him:
He didn’t win at the end…not that anyone remembers.

So by the “fourth quarter” of the movie he was a bench player for the Los Angeles Lakers, and then at the end was a spectator at a WNBA game? What’s next, a movie based on Adam Morrison?
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Love and Basketball (2000)
Actor:
Omar Epps
Position Portrayed:
Point Guard
Played for:
USC/Los Angeles Lakers
Why you should vote for him:
Um……..
Why you should not vote for her:
We compared him to Adam Morrison; isn’t that enough?
