It does not get much stranger than this. Corbin Bensen is directing a zombie baseball movie to F’ with the producers of ML4.

“It’s called THREE STRIKES, YOU’RE DEAD,” Bernsen reveals, explaining that fan enthusiasm for certain of his movies helped inspire the concept. “I come to these conventions and meet people, and there are two things they like: They enjoy horror, but they’re also into the MAJOR LEAGUE movies I was in. And this is kind of a revenge thing—I heard they’re doing MAJOR LEAGUE 4 and they aren’t including my character, and I got kind of pissed off, so I thought, ‘I’m gonna get ’em back. I’m gonna do a zombie baseball movie.’

What is it about?

“It’s set about 30 years in the future in Pittsburgh—a little tribute to George Romero and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD,” he continues. “The undead have been managed a little bit through drug therapy, and created their own sports leagues and rock bands and things like that. As baseball is starting to slump, those who run the sport decide to have a playoff of the World Series champions against the Zombie League champions. And of course, you know how fans are when they get crazy, so…”

And what about real baseball players acting in the movie?

“I have one guy in mind, if he’ll ever do it: I’d love Randy Johnson, who’s pitched for the Arizona Diamondbacks [and is currently with the San Francisco Giants], to be the zombie pitcher. I want real baseball players in this movie.”

You can only hope for the classic line from the first ML movie to be included… “Strike this dead mother fucker OUT!”
