Awesome / Angels in the Outfield

Go To

  • Randy Edelman's soaring score.
  • The Shell-Shock Silence effect for the final pitch of the game.
  • It's under the "Funny" page also for good reason, but Knox's tirade also manages to be pretty awesome given how Danny Glover and the writers pulled off such a scathing rant that makes Knox a very believable furious professional manager, despite being limited in the language they could use to stuff that would keep the film family-friendly.
  • The Angels' first appearance when they help Williams make an impossible game-saving catch, leaving everybody in the stadium at a loss for words.
  • Foster mother Maggie's calm, yet effective Rousing Speech on behalf of George Knox, the team, and heavenly angels.
  • The plays that the Angels (the baseball team) make during their "winning games" montage. Especially one or two that they pull off without divine aid.
  • Ranch Wilder getting himself fired after spending the entire film trying to defame Knox and the team, having been caught doing this on air.
    • Made even better when Ranch's cohort Wally (whom Ranch had bullied throughout the movie as well) tells him "less is more" before resuming announcements.
  • There are some viewers who feel that Roger's dad made the right choice. Because of his lack of money (as well as responsibility), his actions lead to Roger (and JP by extension) getting adopted by Knox.
