The film introduced the public to characters like Willie Mays Hayes, Pedro Cerrano, Roger Dorn and Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn.

"Major League" was also public debut of Jobu, the religious figurine Cerrano prayed to before every game. The statue has become somewhat of a cult idol over the years.

Now you can now get your hands on one if you happen to live in the Eastlake, Ohio, area.

The Lake County Captains, the Indians' affiliate in the Single-A Midwest League, will give away a Jobu bobblehead doll to the first 1,500 fans in the stadium on Aug. 1.

"Is very bad to steal Jobu's rum. Is very bad."
