Another cool thing: Tim Robbins who played Ebby, and Susan Sarandon who played Annie, met, fell in love and dated for 23 years after meeting filming this movie, and she's 12 years older than him.

"I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone." This line always makes me smile, given the role Kevin Costner played in JFK. Keep up the great work!

True confession: I just love this girl and her reactions.

Oh my God, she’s finally doing Bull Durham. This is so long overdue. I can’t wait to watch.😆

If you love a young Kevin Costner, I highly recommend the movie No Way Out. Such a great thriller!! He was also in another fun sports movie called Tin Cup.

The scene where they're having a team meeting on the mound has gotta be one of the funniest scenes in movie history. Still cracks me up. 😁

The "Clown" was Max Patkin who was the real life Clown Prince of Baseball. He performed mostly in minor league parks. Stationed in Hawaii in 1944, Patkin was pitching for a service team, and Joe DiMaggio homered off the lanky right-hander. In mock anger, Patkin threw his glove down then followed DiMaggio around the bases, much to the delight of the fans-and a career was born. He is a national treasure!

9:23 That look Cassie got when he does his speech and gets to the "I like long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days." PRICELESS!

The “Candlesticks always make a nice wedding gift” line was improvised by Robert Wuhl. He quoted the line verbatim from his wife, who was giving advice on what gift to give friends of theirs who were getting married.

This movie is where Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon met, fell in love, had a kid and were together for over 20 years.

This movie is one of my favorites. The tale of the player who has everything but enough talent. Side story, Kevin was told about when Mickey Mantle(one of the greatest ball players history) saw the film, and didn’t find it all funny because he remembered too many guys like Crash who were passed over, but were really good. That’s why I love this film, it tells the story of the unknown players who came as close as one could come to their dream without being able to live it. The story of the moonlight Grahams essentially, but I don’t think you would find many who would say they regret trying. This movie is a love story, a love for the game.

Kevin Costner has the "Trifecta" of Baseball movies!!! - "Field of Dreams" - "Bull Durham" - "For the Love of the Game"...

"For Love of the Game" is such a great movie! You should definitely check it out. It's a pretty even split between romance and baseball.

Just FYI he's done a few cowboys movies as well. "Open Range" has got to be one of his best movie ever. You won't regret it.

It was written by Ron Shelton, a career minor-leaguer himself. It was all based on his experiences. He played in the Triple-A club in my hometown. I can still hear the announcer: "At second base, Number 14, Ron Shelton!" Shelton has written a lot of movies like this. (See White Men Can't Jump.) His scripts are about sports and romance, but they're really about men -- the balance between toughness and tenderness, between bravado and the capacity to be hurt. The story doesn't jump up and tell you this. You just have to watch closely and you'll get it.

Good call on the ages. Sarandon was actually 42 when this came out. Kevin Costner was 33 and Tim Robbins was 30. The real off screen chemistry was between Sarandon and Robbins. They became a couple after this film and even though they never married they were together for over 20 years before they split and they had two kids together. All three of the main actors were amazing.

As a Durham NC native this absolutely warmed my heart

IMO, the best and most realistic baseball movie ever made. Sarandon, Robbins, and Costner played their roles perfectly, and the script was fantastic. The side characters were great as well. Your reaction did it justice too. I knew it would be right up your alley. 😏

Sarandon and Robbins actually feel in love on the set of this film and ended up living together for almost 15 years...

This is what's great about older movies. We always assume classics are always gonna be these epic larger than life things and yet some of the best ones are just these little slice-of-life stories that are really in touch with humanity and you just feel so much more hopeful afterward. We need stories like this.

I love the actor who played the assistant coach, Robert Wuhl, he is always really funny. He actually had a stand up routine on cable once that was really good. He played the photographer in the first Tim Burton Batman movie, had a successful t.v. series on HBO called Arli$$, and his first movie was really funny called The Hollywood Knights.

Crash Davis is one of the coolest characters in the history of film. Very few others have his combo of machismo, charm, intelligence, and humor.

A "quadraphonic Blaupunkt" was a type of stereo, almost certainly for a car. Regular stereo has two "channels" (left and right) of sound - quadraphonic has four channels. "Blaupunkt" was a German manufacturer of sound equipment. They went out of business a few years back, but at one time, they made fairly high-end gear.

You will love For Love of the Game. "It's never quite how you play it in your head." One of my favorite movie lines...ever!

"No Way Out" is one to watch in the future with Kevin Costner. A cold war thriller.

"The world is made for people who aren't cursed with self awareness." - Annie Savoy, Bull Durham (1988)

I got to see Kevin Coster give a speech at Vin Scully’s retirement party at Dodger Stadium in 2016. Vin was 88 and nobody could bare the thought of Scully retiring, least of all me. “Live your life, Vin” Kevin said. Those words made me made realize it was time to let him go, and let him retire in peace. ⚾️

Educational note: In professional baseball, there are Major League Teams, the big cities with the big stadiums and the big bucks and millions of fans. These are "THE BIG LEAGUES" or "THE SHOW". But each Major League team has a series of "farm clubs", teams in smaller towns with smaller stadiums, smaller attendance, and smaller salaries, of course. These leagues are grouped as either single, double, or triple A clubs, single A being the smallest and poorest. These leagues are called Minor Leagues. The players i the minors are either young, promising talent playing a few seasons to learn the skills necessary to compete in the Big Leagues, or else they are older players who either never made it into the Bigs, or did make it, however briefly, and are just playing out the rest of their career hoping to be called back up. "Nuke" was a young promising talent with speed on his pitches but a problem with control. He was in the Minors to see if he could learn the control he needed. "Crash" was just pissed to be back down in single A ball, he WAS playing double or triple A, hoping to get called up himself, but he got demoted to help school a promising, but dim, pretty boy.

Yes, Kevin Costner is a huge baseball fan in real life. Also, "that was quite the speech" was hilarious! I had a feeling several things in that speech would get a reaction from you. 😁

I watched this on a plane ride just last week and loved it. And I’m a 33 year old stay at home mom who knows nothing about baseball lol. But I found it very entertaining

Tim Robbins was also in Top Gun. As Merlin, he was Maverick's RIO in the final dogfight, meaning he shared the three kills with Maverick.

The rookie with Dennis Quad is based on a true story. About a high school teacher getting a chance to play baseball professionally

I was born and raised in Durham, NC and you have no idea how much it warms my heart to see you react to this movie. So many beautiful shots of North Carolina. We love our Durham Bulls around here btw!!!

Your reaction to "I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days" was pretty much everything. 😊 I had Costner's poster for this movie in my dorm room in college all three years. So, yeah, I get you.

I loved the quotes Meat had to learn. Like “we play just one game at a time “. Listen to actual players off any sport like baseball, football or soccer saying in fact those same lines. Each time I hear those lines, I smile and think of this movie.

The Casting Director for this movie should have gotten an Academy Award for his or her work. This movie had the perfect cast, everyone WAS their character..A small but important role was "The Clown", Max Patkin. Saw him do his thing at a minor league game in New Hampshire, he really gets around. It was almost the same as the movie, he even wore the same uniform. Batter up!

Next Costner flick should be “No Way Out” with Gene Hackman as his co-star. Amazing film, very suspenseful, you’d love it!

As much as I love Field of Dreams, Bull Durham and For Love of the Game, my personal favorite sports movie with Kevin Costner is Tin Cup...another great Rom-Com you would absolutely love. Been waiting for this reaction for a while now. This movie never gets old. The reaction when Crash gives the speech about what he believes in was priceless.

You're making your way through Kevin Costner sport movies pretty good. You got "Tin Cup", "Draft Day" & "For Love of the Game" left!

Now you have to try "A league of their own". Well done and a lot of fun!!

“You couldn’t hit water if you fell out of a boat.” lol Best line! Please watch Clerks a black and white comedy from 1994

The Woman is Susan Sarandon, You might know her from Rocky Horror, The Witches of Eastwick or Thelma & Louise. The Pitcher is Tim Robbins. You might know him from The Shawshank Redemption. Susan and Tim met on this film and were a couple until 2009.

9:17 Does anyone else appreciate the fact that he says that here and three years later he is the lead in a movie arguing the exact opposite?

Bull Durham was shot while I was a Sophomore at NC State. I saw Kevin, Susan, Tim walking down the street in Raleigh. I was star struck. The bar in the movie is across from NC State. Most of the extras were students. I had a chance to be in crowd during filming but could not attend. Also the field they turn on the water sprinklers is in Burlington the town I lived in for 20 years.

If you want to switch to Brad Pitt for baseball you might try the movie "Moneyball". Several familiar faces in a movie about a true story and it's a pretty good story.

A under rated Costner movie is Fandango it is a must watch also Silverado you will love them both !!! Also the real Love story was Behind the scenes Susan Sarandon (Annie) and Tim Robbins (Nuke) Became a long time real time couple that had kids together

Hello Cassie Tim Robbins (Ebbie / Nuke) and Annie (Susan Sarandon) met on this movie and were a couple from 1988 to 2009. You might be remembering Susan from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". Maybe you saw her in one of her most recent works as Betty Davis in "Feud" 2017 or "A Bad Mom's Christmas" 2017. Other of her memorable films are "Thelma and Louise", "Stepmom", "Enchanted", "Dead Man Walking", "The Lovely Bones", "Cloud Atlas", and "The Witches of Eastwick". The movie is about MINOR league baseball. This is where some players go to play and train until they are "called up" to play in the MAJOR leagues (The Big Show). Each minor league team is owned by a Major League Baseball team. Hence, these players are still 'earning' a salary. Players will be 'let out of their contracts' if they (ML owners) do not see any significant improvement or hire someone else to take the player's place that could be a 'better' find.

I don't know if you read comments this long after a reaction But this was filmed in Durham, NC (the minor league team is called the Durham Bulls) and I was at the University of North Carolina ( which is about 10 miles from Durham) at the time getting my Masters's Degree. There is a restaurant near the college that is famous for its southern menu. Kevin Costner came into the restaurant 2-3 times per week. One day when I was there Kevin Costner came in and set near me. He said hello to me and we talked briefly about southern cooking and food, and the next time I came back the manager called me over and said Kevin Costner had asked the manager for my name and in appreciation of the things I told him about the food and cooking. He had left me a 500-dollar gift certificate for the restaurant. I still have it to this day!!

A good sports movie is "Heart Like a Wheel" about Shriley Muldowney, the first woman licensed hot rod racer. It stars Bonnie Bedelia who played Holly McClane in the first two "Die Hard" movies.

The scene on the mound where all the players are dealing with their own problems is one of the funniest scenes in any movie.

Annie do you think I deserve to wear white? Honey, we all deserve to wear white. One of my all time favorite movie lines.

In real life, Susan Sarandon (Annie) and Tim Robbins (Nuke) fell in love on the set and were a couple for 21 years. They had two sons together. Given your confusion about why she would be with him over Crash, I thought that was kind of interesting trivia.

Since you love sports movies, you need to watch The Rookie with Dennis Quaid. It's based on a true story.

Another romcom with a youngish Kevin Costner from that era is TinCup. I think she'd really enjoy that one too. His romantic interest is Renee Russo (Lethal Weapon II) and his rival is Don Johnson (Miami Vice).

"I'm sad.....even though LaLouche is a tool, I want them to be friends..." 😂😂

Another great sports-themed Kevin Costner film is Tin Cup. It's about golf and it is amazing.

Bull Durham isn't about baseball. It's about Life. One of my favorite movies.

For a Costner fan I can thoroughly recommend 'A Perfect World'. One of his best films. It is very highly rated on IMBD and RT but one of his least talked about. Having seen most of your reactions I feel it would be perfect for you, can pretty much guarantee tears.

Costner ad libbed the "shut up" to the bat boy. that's why he chuckled. the kid went back to the dugout crying. true story!!!

"This has Major League vibes" I've always thought that the Bull Durham script went around Hollywood, and some executive said, "Too cerebral. Give me the same thing but dumber."

Finally! Knew you would love this. Young Kevin at his most handsome.

WOW finally someone reacts this amazing classic Bull Durham starring by Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins. Thank you so much Cassie great reaction excellent😊😊😊👍👍👍

She is what I call a muse. Someone whose relationship with an artist inspires them to greater things. Picasso had a muse in a young woman even though he was still married.

Single-A and Double-AA teams so much fun to follow.

Kevin Costner is obsessed with baseball. That's why he's done so many baseball movies. This one is my favorite baseball movie and I watch it every spring right before the season starts.

I think Cassie has watched some of the greatest baseball movies ever made. I would to see a react video of my favorite baseball movie: The Bad News Bears (1976)

You were right on the money when you said that Susan Sarandon looked 42. She was 41-42 when this movie was made. Also, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins ("Nuke"), who was 30 at the time, met on this movie and then were partners (never married) for 21 years.

Robert Wuhl is the gift that keeps on giving in this movie (let's hear it for Newbomb Turk!) Skip : You guys. You lollygag the ball around the infield. You lollygag your way down to first. You lollygag in and out of the dugout. You know what that makes you? Larry! Larry : Lollygaggers! Skip : Lollygaggers.

This movie is about when Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins met and fell in love. They are still together today.

This s the minors...the bottom rung, first step, the lowest you get in pro-ball. This is the first time these guys are getting paid, and both Crash and Annie are there to teach the youngsters what is waiting for them. Annie is a groupie at the heart of it all

"I don't want them to be sad and fall in love." Don't knock it. When you are sad or grieving, love and intimacy can save you. I say this from personal experience.

"Bull Durham" is more of an "experience" than a movie. You have to watch it like a comet that comes round every so many years.

42...Please add 42 to your movie list. It is about Jackie Robinson, he was the first black basebale player. Love your reactions.

Feels like we’ve been building up to this one ❤

Minor league clubs are all actually owned by the Major league teams, they are literally there to develop younger talent into professional ball players, so getting called up is always the goal, no one would ever be mad about it. They'd be pumped for them.

"The rose goes in the front, big guy." My favorite movie quote of all time. I'm not a baseball fan, I live and breathe hockey. But Bull Durham is my favorite sports movie of all time.

Tim Robbins Andy Dufresne in The Shawshank Redemption

As you have noticed, Kevin Costner has been in a few baseball movies. He was a serious about baseball when he was younger. He played baseball in high school and attended CSU Fullerton, which has a very strong baseball program. A lot of MLB players attended CSUF. Costner did tryout for CSUF's baseball team. The making of "Bull Durham" is also very interesting. The story is very similar to Sylvestar Stallone's "Rocky". Film studio executives were quick to reject the idea of movie about a boxer or for "Bull Durham" about minor leauge baseball. They thought it wouldn't make money since the public has no interest in minor league baseball. The writer and director was a failed baseball player. He had big dreams to play in the Major, or The Show. After playing in the minors for 5 years and no where close to be promoted to The Show, he hanged up his uniform. The script is based on his experience in the minor. After the director found a movie producer who was willing to take a chance on the project and was given a green light to make the film, Kevin Costner (I believe) was the first actor to sign up for the film. Like the director, Costner understood the life of a baseball player.

Tim Robbins (the star of Shawshank Redemption (THE BEST MOVIE EVER)) & Susan Sarandon dated for 23 yrs with 2 sons and are still good friends!!

I can’t pull up your list of reactions at the moment, but Susan Sarandon’s got 159 acting credits, in everything from “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” to “Enchanted,” with stops at “The Witches of Eastwick” and “Thelma and Louise.” If you really want to see her steam up the screen, though, see “White Palace.” After making this movie, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon were a couple in real life for about 21 years.

I TOLD YOU you were gonna love this! This reaction was everything I was hoping for!

The scene where the bat boy says "Get a hit Crash," and he says "shut up" was a play on the scene from The Natural when Roy's Wonderboy bat breaks and he tell Bobby to pick him out a winner and he brings him the bat they made together.

Susan Sarandon is brilliant in this. All three leads have great chemistry. One of my favourite sports movies.

One of my favorite Baseball movies. Can't wait to check this out. Also, for a really fun golf movie, also starring Costner, you should check out, "Tin Cup". I'm also super nervous about your upcoming Robocop reaction. Especially if it's the Director's Cut. lol.

I thought you would have Carly with you for this one 😂 Get her over for The Love Of The Game, Kevin Costner, baseball and a love story

The actors who played Nuke and Annie (Tim Robbins and Susan Surandon) met during this film and were together for years. Never married but had a relationship. They had children together!

Durham Bulls is a real team. They are right down the road from me and this movie made them a ton of money and helped finance their gorgeous stadium. A buddy of mine was the mascot for awhile.

This is the most realistic baseball movie ever made. Interesting fact: Tim Robbins & Susan started dating during the making of this film. They're still married today. Also, if you want another Costner film, try No Way Out.

The movie "Silverado" has a young Kevin Costner and is a pretty fantastic western as well. Give it a shot when its time for you to dip your toe back into that genre. Also, thanks for another great reaction. You're the best reactor on youtube and its not even close!

@14:12, the bull at the outfield wall was a movie prop and never existed before. But the real baseball team loved it so much they kept it, even when they relocated to a newer stadium. It now gets “angry” when the home team scores a home run.

You should check out a movie called The Upside Of Anger. Costner plays a retired baseball player (What else?) who hosts a local sports radio talk show. He has just moved into a house next to a woman played by the lovely Joan Allen. She has three daughters, all of whom think Costner and she should maybe get together... It's very cute and funny... ... And don't forget to watch 'Random Harvest'... With Carly!

This is a spectacular relationship movie (and I'm not talking about the typical boys meets girl type). The interactions everyone has are so well written that you don't need to be a baseball fan to appreciate the movie, although it helps! Glad you enjoyed it.

Movie suggestions here for the record: Costner in Tin Cup (golf & romance). Trouble With The Curve (Eastwood & baseball). League of Their Own (women in baseball, great cast).

What's funny is that Susan Sarandon wound up with Nuke in real life. She was with Tim Robbins for 23 years and had two kids together.

In Durham, the Bulls minor league baseball team has one asset no other can claim, a poetry-loving groupie named Annie (Sarandon). As the team's season begins, she selects brash new recruit Laloosh (Robbins), whom she christens "Nuke," to inspire with the religion of baseball. He also receives guidance from veteran player Davis (Costner) who settles his erratic pitching and teaches him to follow the catcher's lead.

Like you said... "sports, comedy and a romance movie". It's why Bull Durham is still, 35 years later, considered to be one of the best sports movies ever made! It's also the movie that put Costner on the map. And boy oh boy, the ladies LOVED him. You're not alone. And guys liked him too. He's one of my favorites. And his role in Bull Durham had a huge influence on me growing up. 😊 When I became a captain in high school, I took a page out of his book when mentoring the younger guys on the team. Put them in their place, but make sure they knew I felt they could always be better.

Love this movie! Great choice!

"Candlesticks" is still a running joke in my family whenever a catcher's visit takes too long.

For the Love of the Game is my favorite baseball movie. He is a major league pitcher in his last game while reflecting on his love life as the game goes. You WILL LOVE IT.

Is it weird that I (along with 273k followers) knew this movie would be so great for you? Thanks for watching this and entertaining us!
