Gammon mastered the gravelly voiced tobacco chewing manager to perfectly compliment Charlie Sheen, Corbin Bernsen, and Wesley Snipes' eccentric personalities. His weathered veteran persona was just the leader that rag-tag group needed to go from worst to first.
One of Major League's legacies over the past two decades has been its often-quoted one-liners. While many reach for lines from Bob Uecker's "Harry Doyle" character, it was Gammon's memorable, "You may run like Hayes, but you hit like s--t," zing to Snipes' "Willie Mays Hayes" that continues to get laughs with multiple generations.

I don't remember the exact quote, but at the beginning of the movie when he's offered the job of managing in the majors, he says "I'll have to let you know after I price out a set of whitewall tires"
