Unrequited Love Story: ‘Bull Durham’ at 30
Posted Jun 21, 2018
When he broke into Hollywood, Ron Shelton made a promise to himself. “If I got one shot to direct,” he remembered thinking, “I’ll make a sports movie I would like to see.” At that point, Shelton already had the idea for Bull Durham. Released 30 years ago this week, the romantic comedy tells the tale of aging career minor league catcher Crash Davis (Kevin Costner).
