Fan favorite James Gammon, who played the seasoned manager Lou Brown in the classic Major League died Friday from cancer at the age of 70 in California.
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.
