Bull Durham

Writer Ron Shelton (...) brought his own experience as a minor league ballplayer to this witty comedy and uses his directorial debut to share his passion for baseball, lusty women and small-timers with big hearts.

“Bull Durham” is a treasure of a movie because it knows so much about baseball and so little about love.

Bull Durham put the Durham Bulls on the map, but it also reminded baseball-loving movie-goers that not every film has to end with a home run to be a home run.

...is both one of the best films ever made about the national pastime and a charming romantic comedy.
