Here's the breakdown:

Midwest
No. 1 Hoosiers - hard to go against this underdog story, but it will have its work cut out in the next round.

No. 2 Bull Durham - Come on, it's Rocky VI, Sly should have stopped after he beat Drago.

West
No. 8 Brewster's Millions. I just watched it the other day, what a great movie.

No. 3 Major League, "I'm hung over, my knees are killin' me and if you're going to pull this (crap) at least you could've said you were from the Yankees!"

South
No. 4 Happy Gilmore - Shooter McGavin: "I eat pieces of *#@$ like you for breakfast."

Happy Gilmore: "You eat pieces of *&$# for breakfast?"

No. 11 Mr. Baseball - Frodo's not there to help Sam this time.

East
No. 1 Field of dreams - could be Costner vs. Costner in the championship.

No. 10 Dodge Ball - Cotton McKnight: "In 23 years of broadcasting I thought I'd seen it all, folks. But it looks like Peter La Fleur has actually blindfolded himself."

Pepper Brooks: "He will not be able to see very well, Cotton."
