The AP is reporting this morning that after snow wiped out Cleveland's series against Seattle for the fourth day in a row Monday, the Indians moved their next series against the Los Angeles (formerly the "Anaheim Angels" which were formerly the "California Angels") Angels to Milwaukee's Miller Park.

The last time the Indians played a home game in Milwaukee, Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn was on the mound, Jake Taylor was catching, Roger Dorn was at third, Willie Mays Hayes was stealing bases and Pedro Cerrano was worshipping "Jobu." It still freaks me out to see Pedro Cerrano doing Allstate Insurance commercials.

The home game scenes in the movie were filmed at Milwaukee's County Stadium, which has since been torn down. Bob Uecker who portrays announcer Harry Doyle, called games for the Brewers and played for the old Milwaukee Braves. The exterior stadium shots use Cleveland's Municipal Stadium, which has since been torn down.

Although it was one of the greatest sports movies of all time, there were a few errors in geography that tip off the fact that they were filming in Milwaukee. For example although the movie was supposedly set in Cleveland, the scoreboard features advertisements for WTMJ, a Milwaukee TV station and for 94 WKTI a Milwaukee Radio Station. At least Bernie Brewer's house and beer mug was dismantled for the shooting of the movie.

Oh the memories. Rene Russo was sure hot back in the day!
