Crash Davis (played by Kevin Costner) and Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon) hold a conversation between pitches in a batting cage in the movie Bull Durham. Annie says, “I looked up your records.”
“You, what?” replies a shocked Crash.
“You hit 220 home runs in the minors. That’s not bad.” Annie continues.
“Don’t tell anybody,” Crash replies.
