I wonder who inspired the Susan Sarandon character, or the Kevin Costner character?

125 mph. I HIGHLY doubt it.

Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon ruined what could have been an OK movie. With them two in it it’s unwatchable.

When I was in high school our church would sometimes play a pickup game with other churches. One Sunday afternoon the church we played was a real country one. As we were warming up, their pitcher and I were throwing to each other.

This kid threw so hard that it literally scared me. I played high school baseball. One of our pitchers later started at Florida and he didn’t even come close to this kid.

I never heard any more about him. He didn’t attend school. Still someone should have given him a tryout just to see what he could do.

I never saw a Bull Durham but this sounds kind of like the plot of Major League. I think Charlie Sheen played a character who could throw for high velocity but had no control.

Reminds me of Rex Barney, a hard-thrower who came up in the Dodgers organization in the late 40s. It was said he pitched like the plate was high and outside. Happier ending though.... he was later the PA man at the old Memorial Stadium in Baltimore.

"Baltimore Orioles minor league pitcher "

Who knew?

Saw the movie at a friend's house because she wanted to. Summary: minor leaguer weakens self via futile nonmarital activities with Susan Sarandon.
