Margaret Whitton — who played Indians owner Rachel Phelps in “Major League” — has died at age 67.

She died peacefully at her home in Florida after a brief battle with cancer, this according to the Hollywood Reporter.  

Whitton was GREAT in the “Major League” movies — playing an owner rooting against her team so she could relocate ‘em from Cleveland to Miami. 

Her most memorable scene … when she crashed the Indians locker room when Lou Brown was complaining about the “bitch” who runs the team … and responded, “You wanna talk to the bitch?”

Awesome. 

Besides “Major League,” Whitton also appeared in “Little Monsters,” ”The Man Without a Face” and “9 1/2 Weeks” and more. 

R.I.P.
