The Extra 2% Movie: Casting Call

Today, Jonah Keri's book about the Tampa Bay Rays, entitled The Extra 2%, becomes availablefor purchase and barter today. As such, it is only a matter of time now that Keri's book is made into a movie, as Hollywood has decided to make absolutely every book into a movie.
So, when they do decide to make the Extra 2% move, they will undoubtedly look to us -- the fervent online Rays community -- to suggest the actors to fill the majors roles.
So let's discuss these important roles:
- Vince Naimoli
- Stuart Sternberg
- Lou Piniella
- Andrew Friedman
- Joe Maddon
Keep in mind that every Hollywood movie must have a love story, so one of these characters will inevitably need to be played by a woman who will fall in love with someone.
Here's how to win some Joints: Suggest some current celebrities to fill these roles (1 suggestion per comment, otherwise we won't know which suggestion is being rec'd), and the suggestions with the most rec's win 3 Joints (per suggestion).
NOTE: Only those five aforementioned characters are admissible for Joints.

That you said "Nutty Professor" here instead of "Coming to America" means that you should get out

The better reference here is Peter Sellers in Dr. StrangeLove

Piniella = Brando, Maddon = Leslie Nielsen
Surely you’d have to reanimate Nielsen’s corpse for this. And, whether live or dead, you may need to reanimate Brando, too.

Meryl Streep as Vince Namoli
She falls in love with Maddon, confessing her love on a stormy beach, where Maddon is throwing seashells into the foamy surf.
“I love you,” Verna Naimoli says, touching Joe’s shoulder. He doesn’t turn around. Instead, he picks up another seashell and tosses it sidearm into the mouth of a crashing wave. “I’ve always loved you,” she says.
“It’s over Verna,” Maddon says, picking up his Harley off the sand. Muffled thunder calls in the distance. “Sternberg’s my boss now. I’ve got work to do.”
He cranks the Harley into a steady growl, and with one last glance at Verna, he says, “Good luck with the book.”

Friedman- Charlie Sheen (pre-drugs), Maddon- honestly, there is no actor that could pull off Joe Maddon, he would have to play as himself.
