Not sure if it's been listed yet, but you should definitely include the cast of "Everybody Wants Some," the best baseball movie no one's ever seen.

Re: Pop CulPture Fictional Rosters

As soon as I can complete the rosters, I will release it to the vault. I have been releasing individual players on there occasionally, but it's probably still a few months from being completed. I'm reading a lot of books and watching a lot of shows/movies to get numbers and such correct. I plan on filling the entire teams and am short on a lot of pitchers. If anyone has any suggestions, they could be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, it's going to be a bit before I get everything finished. I can get burned out rather quickly, so I'm trying to prevent that.

I will patiently wait then! What's your username? I may see the ones you've already uploaded. I love this idea!!!

You'll love it then, it's like a Dazed and Confused, only 80's college baseball.

I just watched it. Unfortunately, it wasn't Linklater's best work. I liked Dazed and Confused and the Before trilogy, but this missed the mark for me. There was very little happening in this movie other than a baseball team who spent two hours trying to get drunk, laid, or otherwise measure each other's dicks. Not my college experience at all, but here they are (Positions were never fully defined for a lot of the players outside the pitchers):

Interesting, was exactly my college experience (less the dick measuring, which I don't recall from the movie either....unless you mean it figuratively). Anyway, thanks for including it.

I actually think it was based a lot on Linklater's college experience just as Dazed was him going into HS I'm the 70s.

I'd you think about it, Mitch was a pitcher entering freshman year HS 1976. Jake is a pitcher entering college in early 80s in not 1980. Both are Texas.

Linklater called it a spiritual sequel.

Since he was 20 in 1980 and played baseball in HS, I've always just figured those two characters are loosely based on him.

Yes, I meant figuratively. It was just a bunch of alpha male bull**** crammed into two hours that you can get in any other dozen or so movies....and better. I'm not saying I hated it, but it won't be on the rewatch list any time soon.

Re: Pop CulPture Fictional Rosters

Don't forget Boston needs pitcher Matt ''the Missile'' Murtagh. 6' 180 from Georgia. Two-way player who also hit over 400 homers.

I had never heard of this guy, but I looked him up and he will be included on the Red Sox. Anyone with any new suggestions, please feel free to make suggestions.

I may be missing some Cheers guys, but it's been a while since I've watched thet series all the way through, but I have an open spot for two position players and for a pitcher. This just leaves the Washington Nationals, St. Louis Cardinals, and Detroit Tigers left to post.
