Best Sports Movie Ever
Yes smoggy that was.
Back on a baseball note, Bull Durham had to be one of the best baseball movies ever. Just one of my favorite excerpts (for those who don't know - Crash is a catcher played by Kevin Costner)
AS THE RUNNER BARRELS TOWARD THE PLATE -- Crash takes the throw.
THE RUNNER SLIDES -- Crash blocks the plate. A cloud of dust. A close play.
THE UMPIRE SIGNALS "SAFE" -- And Crash flips out. In a second he is nose to nose with the UMPIRE.
CRASH - I got him on the knee!
UMPIRE - You missed him!
CRASH - God damn It, Jack, he still ain't touched the plate.
THEIR FACES ARE INCHES APART -- Screaming face to face.
UMPIRE - Don't bump me.
CRASH - It was a cok'sucking call!
UMPIRE - Did you call me a cok'sucker?
CRASH - No! I said It was a cok-sucking call and you can't run me for that!
UMPIRE - You missed the tag!
CRASH - You spit on me!
UMPIRE - I didn't spit on you!
CRASH - You're in the wrong business, Jack--you're Sears-Roebuck material!
UMPIRE - You're close, Crash, you want me to run you? I'll run you!
CRASH - You want me to call you a cok'sucker?!
UMPIRE - Try it! Go ahead. Call me a cok'sucker!
CRASH - Beg me!
UMPIRE - Call me a cok'sucker and you're outta here!
CRASH - Beg me again!
UMPIRE - Call me a cok'sucker and you're outta here!
CRASH - You're a cok'sucker!
UMPIRE - You're outta here!
THE UMP THEATRICALLY THROWS CRASH out of the game.
ANNIE AND MILLIE STARE at the radio.

...I've never seen Crash so angry and frankly, Bull fans, he used a certain word that's a "no-no" with umpires...
MILLIE
Crash musta called the guy a cok'sucker
ANNIE
God, he's so romantic...
OMG - It's so funny I am crying. Need to go pop that movie in the DVD right now.
