RE: Ritz Presents the Take Me Out to the Ballgame…Sliding Into Spring Movie Series

Toccoa, GA, February 22, 2021, – We are headed for home in our Take Me Out to the Ballgame…Sliding Into Spring Movie Series at the Historic Ritz Theatre with Major League showing Friday, February 26^th at 10:00 am and 7:00pm.

The new owner of the Cleveland Indians, former showgirl Rachel Phelps (Margaret Whitton), has a sweetheart deal to move the team to Miami. But to break the lease with the city of Cleveland, ticket sales have to plummet. So Phelps hires the most incompetent players available, including near-blind pitcher Rick Vaughn (Charlie Sheen) and injury-prone catcher Jake Taylor (Tom Berenger). But her villainous tactics accidentally foster a can-do team spirit, turning the Indians into potential winners. This movie is Rated R

RE: Ritz Presents the Take Me Out to the Ballgame…Sliding Into Spring Movie Series

When Iowa farmer Ray hears a mysterious voice one night in his cornfield saying "If you build it, he will come," he feels the need to act. Despite taunts of lunacy, Ray builds a baseball diamond on his land, supported by his wife, Annie. Afterward, the ghosts of great players start emerging from the crops to play ball, led by "Shoeless" Joe Jackson. But, as Ray learns, this field of dreams is about much more than bringing former baseball greats out to play. The movie is rated PG and stars Kevin Costner, Ray Liotta, James Earl Jones, and Amy Madigan.
