So, as I watched, yet again, Major League today, I noticed something interesting.
In many scenes when the players are out in public, at restaurants or bars, the others have alcohol, but Rick Vaughn has soda (most notably he's drinking beer right before the final game when Dorn's wife seduces him). It starts at the French restaurant that Taylor takes Vaughn and Hayes to when they get to Cleveland. Taylor and Hayes have wine, Vaughn has soda. Then later, when Vaughn is signing his first autograph, he has soda, Taylor has a beer (I think).
And it made me wonder...was there a dropped plotline about why Rick Vaughn wasn't drinking? Maybe he was on probation...like he said, he didn't think he'd be able to make spring training because he was in jail. Maybe part of his release was to stay off the sauce?
If anybody knows, let me know. My curiosity has been piqued.
Your daughter needs to come with a warning label for my ovaries. Just sayin.
ReplyDeleteYou know... I'm not sure I ever noticed that about Major League.
Like I said, I just noticed it yesterday. When Taylor proposes the toast, it's quite obvious he has soda, which I was like, hrm...then later , he has it again. So I paid attention, and not until that scene at the end with Dorns wife is he drinking.
ReplyDeleteOf course when he's with Dorn's wife, he ends up in trouble... Maybe he wasn't drinking to keep himself out of trouble and then slipped & ended up in it? Hmmm...
ReplyDeletePossibly. He may have only been drinking because Brown passed over him in favor of Harris in the critical play in game.
