I must admit, I used to really like that flick, but I don't think I'll ever be able to watch it again.

[Mears]

Way to go,Cooperstown!

[PlanoMike]

Fantastic, congrats to the Hall of Fame folks who made this decision!!!

[CobaltBlue]

ROFL! Excellent!

Hey, Tim, you and Susan:

It is getting to the point that Sarandon and her boy toy will soon have to register themselves as war criminals in every county they may move to.

Nuke threw like a girl and barely .500 record with an abysmal WHIP....no way he darkens the door at Cooperstown

SWEET! I thought Sarandon's character in the movie was overblown anyway.

"Relax alright don't try to strike everyone out. Strikeouts are boring besides that they're fascist. Throw some ground balls it's more democratic."

"Come on, [Susan Sarandon], think of something clever to say, huh? Something full of magic, religion, bullsh**. Come on, dazzle me."

The question begs, why did the Hall of Fame feel the need to celebrate the anniversary of this movie in the first place?

Assistant to the Traveling Secretary of the New York Yankees, George Castanza:

That's a shame!

[NC Conservative]

I thought the movie sucked. IMHO

[Temple Owl]

Seeing that google-eyed, dried-up hag, naked made me want to puke.

Assistant to the Traveling Secretary of the New York Yankees, George Castanza:

I love that episode where George gets the job by doing the opposite of what he woudl usually do. His diatribe at Steinbrenner is precious to any Yankee fan.

WARNING! Blatant self-promotion:

Bull Durham

Disappointing baseball movie, but enjoyable nonetheless. Humorous at times and 'cute' but with a weak central premise: Kevin Costner as a veteran minor league catcher for a fireballing young prospect, Susan Sarandon as a local who sleeps with one minor leaguer a year. Costner is not exactly a believable catcher, and the sex obsession of the movie is geared toward 30- to 50-year-olds (not that there's anything wrong with that). Still, the baseball parts of the movie are priceless.Still Pretty Dang Good. Shout out to North Carolina -- the movie features the Durham (NC) Bulls minor league team.

Slap Major League in your VCR instead. You'll feel a lot better.

That's what's called "stepping up to the plate".
