Near the end of the movie, Annie quotes some poetry in a voiceover and then says "That was Thomas Gray For years, Ron Shelton has contemplated making a sequel and remarked, "I couldn't figure out in the few years right after it came out, what do you do? Nuke's in the big leagues, Crash is managing in Visalia. Is Annie going to go to Visalia? I've been to Visalia. That will test a relationship It was not a simple fable to continue with - not that we don't talk about continuing it, now that everyone's in their 60s".
The line "the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom" is from William Blake 's "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell".
During a conversation between Crash and Nuke on the team bus, a newspaper's sports page is shown briefly with a headline reading "Hard-hittin' Whiten".
Whiten said he missed his brief moment of fame when he first saw the movie in the theatre, but caught it when he rented it later. Whiten went on to have a fairly ordinary year career in the majors highlighted by one game in which he tied two major league records with four homers and 12 RBI.
Paula Abdul incorrectly believed that in exchange for choreographing Tim Robbins ' bar dance moves, she would get a line or two in the movie. When told that no such deal was agreed upon, Abdul "marched off screaming," according to Ron Shelton. According to Ron Shelton , "I wrote a very early script about minor league baseball; the only thing it had in common with Bull Durham was that it was about a pitcher and a catcher.
For this film, Shelton "decided to see if a woman could tell the story" and "dictated that opening monologue on a little micro-recorder while I was driving around North Carolina. The field where the Durham Bulls played in the movie still has the original bull on the outfield fence. But they had to move the bull from right field to left field because they had to redo the right field fencing. When Nuke is giving his interview at the big league stadium after being called up to the majors, he's wearing a t-shirt for the ska-punk band Fishbone.
Tim Robbins in real life is a huge fan of the band. Fishbone would also feature in the movie Tapeheads , released later that same year, starring Robbins and John Cusack , who is also a big fan of Fishbone. When Nuke is promoted to the majors we see him giving a television interview. This scene was filmed at Arlington Stadium, which was the former home field for the Major League team the Texas Rangers.
The team's manager tells Crash that the team in Visalia is looking for a manager. Kevin Costner went to school for a year at Mt. The studio thought that Susan Sarandon was too old and not funny enough to play Annie. So producer Thom Mount had Sarandon who was 41 during production go to Orion Pictures co-founder Mike Medavoy 's office in a tight dress and lean over his desk for half an hour.
I definitely didn't go in there in a T-shirt and jeans. I remember I had on an off-the-shoulder red-and-white-striped dress. It was very form-fitting. It was understood what I had to do. Crash was modelled on Pike Bishop, William Holden 's character in The Wild Bunch : a guy who "loved something more than it loved him.
A few years later he would star in JFK , whose protagonist believes Oswald did not act alone and was possibly a fall guy for the Kennedy assassination. Michelle Pfeiffer auditioned for the role of Annie Savoy but wasn't cast due to being perceived as too young.
Nick Nolte , one of the biggest male stars at the time, turned down the lead because he had just finished several movies back-to-back, and, most importantly, because he isn't a fan of baseball.
Nolte famously played a footballer in North Dallas Forty , a movie he co-wrote. David Duchovny was considered for the role of Nuke LaLoosh. Melanie Griffith was considered for the role of Annie Savoy, but she was busy with Working Girl In one scene, 'Nuke' LaLoosh Tim Robbins gives up a home run that strikes the bull, supposedly rewarding the opposing hitter with a free steak.
In reality, at the old Durham Athletic Park, the bull was in foul territory. According to the audio commentary for Ant-Man , the director, Peyton Reed , drove a van as a production assistant for the production of this movie.
He says he has a picture of Susan Sarandon autographing his forehead. Kelly McGillis was interested to play the role of Annie but turned it down. Instead, McGillis starred in The Accused Both teams still exist in the Texas League under new names. Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis were considered to play the parts of Annie and Crash but declined due to their commitment to the TV series Moonlighting Kim Basinger was originally offered the role of Annie Savoy but turned it down.
As is the case with many baseball films, the actors are using bats that are the models used by actual major leaguers. In several scenes, you can see the breath coming from the actors' mouths.
Annie tells Crash that, for work, she teaches part-time at "Alamance Junior College". The final line in the movie is spoken by Annie. She ends with "You could look it up.

Something full of magic, religion, bullshit. Come on, dazzle me. Annie Savoy : I want you. Crash Davis : You just got lesson number one: don't think; it can only hurt the ball club.
Crash Davis : You be cocky and arrogant, even when you're getting beat. That's the secret. You gotta play this game with fear and arrogance. Ebby Calvin LaLoosh : Right. Fear and ignorance.
Crash Davis : [exasperated] No. You hayseed. It's arrogance not 'ignorance. Skip : Crash Davis? Joe Riggins. You hung an 0 and 2 curve ball in a game in the bottom of the 8th and I tattooed it over the Michelin Tire sign and beat you Larry : Yeah, I remember.
I should'a thrown a slider. Damn, Crash, nice to see you. Crash Davis : [stands up] Hey! Crash Davis : Why are you shaking me off? Crash Davis : Announce your fucking presence with authority? This guy is a first ball, fast ball hitter! Ebby Calvin LaLoosh : Well he hasn't seen my heat! Crash Davis : [pauses] Allright meat, show him your heat.
Crash Davis : [to the batter] Fast ball. Ebby Calvin LaLoosh : [after Ebby didn't listen to Crash, and the ball became a home run] You told him I was gonna throw a deuce, didn't you? Crash Davis : Yup. Crash Davis : I wouldn't dig in if I was you. Next one might be at your head.
I don't know where it's gonna go. Swear to God. Crash Davis : Did you hit me with your right hand or did you hit me with your left? Did you hit me with your right hand or did you hit me with your LEFT? Ebby Calvin LaLoosh : My left. Crash Davis : Good! That's good; when you get in a fight with a drunk you don't hit him with your pitching hand.
God, I can't keep giving you these free lessons so quit screwin' around and help me up. Crash Davis : Last chance. Your place or mine? Annie Savoy : Despite my rejection of most Judeo-Christian ethics, I am, within the framework of the baseball season, monogamous.
Crash Davis : The rose goes in the front, big guy. Annie Savoy : I think probably with my love of four-legged creatures and hooves and everything, that in another lifetime I was probably Catherine the Great, or Francis of Assisi. I'm not sure which one. What do you think? Crash Davis : How come in former lifetimes, everybody is someone famous?
Crash Davis : I mean,. Crash Davis : how come nobody ever says they were Joe Schmo? Annie Savoy : [still laughing] Because it doesn't work that way, you fool! Crash Davis : What's wrong? Ebby Calvin LaLoosh : I'm nervous - my old man's here. Crash Davis : Where? Ebby Calvin LaLoosh : He's behind home plate - don't look.
Crash Davis : [Crash waves back] Hey, he's waving. He's just your father, man - he's as full of shit as anybody. Crash Davis : You don't want a ballplayer; you want a stable pony. Skip : Nah.

Well, fuck this fucking game! Crash Davis : I quit, all right? I fucking quit. Crash Davis : Who we play tomorrow? Skip : Winston-Salem. Batting practice at Clubhouse reporter : So how does it feel to get your first professional win?
Ebby Calvin LaLoosh : It feels out there. I mean, it's a major rush. I mean, it feels radical in kind of a tubular sort of way, but most of all, it feels out there. Crash Davis : [watching Ebby from across the clubhouse] Hopeless. This is utterly fucking hopeless. Umpire : Call me a cocksucker again, and you're outta here. Crash Davis : You're a cocksucker. Umpire : You're Larry : Whoa! What the fuck is that? Living… in Durham, N. Profession… minor league catcher at the tail end of a year career.
In those dozen years as a pro, Crash has spent a grand total of 21 days in the majors. Relationship Status… single, for now. Though Crash is quite the romantic. Challenge… passing along his wisdom to the seemingly hopeless Calvin while having one last summer in the sun. What will he be, if not a ballplayer?
