Minor league pitcher Gus Cantrell (Scott Bakula) is about to be put out to pasture when he is given the opportunity to do the next best thing: manage the South Carolina Buzz. The ailing baseball team is full of terrible players, but owner Roger Dorn (Corbin Bernsen) is banking on Cantrell to make a top-notch franchise out of them. While trying to work miracles on the wacky lineup, Cantrell butts heads with the uppity manager of the Minnesota Twins, resolving their conflict on the field.

How anyone could rate this one above the second one is beyond me. This one was lacking talent, budget, direction, everything. See the first two, both are wildly entertaining, but you can skip this one, low budget.

Absolutely horrible. One of the worst movies ever made. I can't say enough bad things about it.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom.

Well, hey, "Major League: Back To The Minors" was not the greatest movie ever made. Well, geez, was that expected? Sure, yes it was! This movie was just a not-so-good spinoff of the original movie. Sure, Scott Bakula is really funny in this movie, but he is one of the few high points. The whole plot is just troubled. A Minor League Team playing a Major League Team?! How does that happen?! I mean, I can tell the producers wanted to put in some creativity, but it went a little bit too far. Honestly, this movie, I would award a 4/10 stars to. I would award 10/10 stars for the original "Major League", and I would award 7/10 stars to "Major League II". If you want a comedy filled with slapstick and boring jokes, with a plot not even plausible, but with some funny moments (especially with Scott Bakula, I admire him), "Major League: Back To The Minors" could be the comedy for you!

Just completing collections, nothing to see here. This would be rated even lower if there wasn't a slight nostalgia factor with some of the returning characters, I'm looking at you Taka and Harry Doyle. I also enjoyed seeing a young Walton Goggins as the star player and Scott Bakula as the coach. The third installment in the Major League franchise is the least funny, delivering the most cliched plot and dialogue of the three, but still features Ted McGinley, so there is that. 3.5/10
