Francona relives 'Major League' memories

MILWAUKEE -- With the Indians in town for a rare visit to Milwaukee, the Brewers organized "Major League" night on Tuesday and created a bobblehead featuring broadcaster Bob Uecker. Milwaukee's play-by-play man played the part of Cleveland's broadcaster in the famous baseball movie.

Indians manager Terry Francona was curious why the Brewers -- one of his former teams -- was not honoring him on Tuesday.

"How come they didn't ask me? I'm in that movie," Francona said with a smirk. "You've got to look quick, man."

Francona noted that some game footage used in the 1989 movie was taken from a game he played during his season with the Indians in '88.
