Major League Tapestries
Description: Major League is a 1989 American sports comedy film produced by Chris Chesser and Irby Smith, written and directed by David S. Ward, that stars Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes, James Gammon, Bob Uecker, Rene Russo, Margaret Whitton, Dennis Haysbert, and Corbin Bernsen. Telling the story of a single regular season of a fictionalized version of the Cleveland Indians baseball team, Major League grossed $75 million worldwide from an $11 million budget and spawned two sequels (Major League II and Major League: Back to the Minors), neither of which repeated the success of the original film.
Description: Jobu is the voodoo doll from the movie Major League. Jobu is a fictional good-luck charm that the character Pedro Cerrano (Dennis Haysbert) uses to help him hit curveballs. The voodoo doll, a source of much humor in the film, has become an iconic part of baseball pop culture, and official merchandise, such as action figures and bobbleheads, is available for purchase. In the movie, the character Pedro Cerrano uses the voodoo doll, named Jobu, to help him with his hitting. He gives the doll cigars and rum, and famously says, "Is very bad to steal Jobu's rum".
