Major League II is still a good movie but by no means is it in the same league as the original Major League.
The first movie ends with the Indians finally making the playoffs for the first time in 40 years. They went onto being swept by the White Sox in the ALCS so the enemy team of this movie is now the W.Sox. The Indians big free agent pickup in the off season was a guy named Jack Parkman who while a great player ends up being a real prick and causing dissension in the clubhouse. Ricky Vaughn is also more concerned about his public image then being the bad boy he was previously. After Lou Brown has a heart attack that means Jake Taylor takes over as the teams manager. And yada yada.
The movie isn't bad by any means but it doesn't seem to have the same magic and spark that the first movie had, I could watch the original ML a million times and never get tired of it.
