Images from last nights Durham Bulls game. Unforunately no citing of Costner, Robbins or Sarandon.
Smoke coming from the bull after a home run. Hit the bull...win a steak.
"Crash Davis, an obscure 1940's infielder who emerged as something of a celebrity when Kevin Costner became his namesake playing a shrewd but fading minor leaguer in the movie 'Bull Durham,' The Crash Davis of ''Bull Durham'' was a longtime catcher brought in by the Durham Bulls to take the rough edges off the irrepressible pitching phenom Nuke LaLoosh (Tim Robbins). The baseball career of Lawrence (Crash) Davis bore some resemblance to that of the film's Crash Davis. The real Crash Davis indeed played for the Durham Bulls. But he was a second baseman, shortstop and first baseman who had been a genuine if undistinguished major leaguer, with the Philadelphia Athletics."
