R.I.P. Lou Brown

Almost a week after the death of George Steinbrenner, the baseball community was dealt another blow. James Gammon, who played Indians manager Lou Brown in Major League and Major League II, passed away at the age of 70. Gammon had been battling cancer of the adrenal glands and liver.



Gammon may be recognizable from roles in movies such as Vision Quest and Cold Mountain, and his run as Nick Bridges on the television series Nash Bridges.

However, he will be most remembered as the exasperated coach in the Major League movies, who almost didn't take the job as manager because he had a guy on the other line asking about white walls.
