CLEVELAND, Ohio -- When Arizona Wildcats infielder Sawyer Gieseke and his teammates decided to remake the spring training arrival scene from the cult classic film "Major League," the connections were pretty obvious.
Arizona plays its games at Tucson's Hi Corbett Field, once the longtime spring training home of the Cleveland Indians, where many of the scenes from the original movie were filmed.
Tribe manager Terry Francona played for Arizona from 1978-80, leading the Wildcats to a College World Series title. Francona recently donated $1 million to the program that will be used to construct an indoor hitting facility.
