Bull Durham: Difference between revisions

* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Averted, big time. Shelton was a long-time minor league player who knew from experience how life went in Carolina Leagues. Nearly everything in the movie (including the scene of the radio announcer faking a live broadcast from a studio as they couldn't afford the road trips) happened in the minors when the movie was made.

** The one thing Shelton didn't get right was {{spoiler|having Nuke get called up to the Major Leagues straight from playing with a Class-A organization like the Bulls. Even rookie players spend some time at AAA level for a few games before getting called up like that}}. It could be explained away as how {{spoiler|Nuke was leaving and never coming back}}.

* [[Fourth Date Marriage]]: Millie, Annie's friend and fellow groupie, has basically slept with half the Carolina League right up until she tries hooking up with the overtly religious Jimmy. After just one night, the two of them get engaged.

* [[Glory Days]]: Crash once spent 21 days in the major leagues (what he calls "The Show".) He's spent the rest of his minor league career ''hoping and praying'' to earn his way back ever since.
