Bull Durham (1988)

Crash Davis: Just two months into his managerial career, Crash is arrested and charged with assault. His new team does not like his "lessons" that involve punches, throwing pool balls, and shattering mirrors. Crash serves a 60-day sentence and, upon his release, returns to Durham, where he finds Annie has taken another Bull "under her wing." Alone and unable to find work with a criminal record and no qualifications other than being able to squat behind a plate, Crash spirals into an alcoholic tailspin that eventually leads to an extended stay in Dorothea Dix Hospital. While there, he befriends a wealthy widow who enjoys opining on particle physics and native American breathing techniques. They are released from Dorothea Dix and quickly move in together. The two buy a minor league team and Crash becomes the manager. Crash and the woman also try out something he's been meaning to try for years: a wet kiss that lasts for three days. They emerge, stinking of human funk and dehydration, and can never look each other in the eyes again. They part ways, and Crash is now the first base coach for the Carolina Mudcats.

Annie Savoy: Annie and Crash date for a few months, but when Crash serves time for assault, Annie takes up another lover from the Durham Bulls, this time a coach. She has had it with naive, naif-like rookies and longs for a more meaningful relationship. Unfortunately, she chooses Larry Dockett, whose best coaching ever was to suggest buying Jimmy and Millie candle sticks as wedding presents. Unable to convince him to breathe through his eyelids or wear her underwear, she settles for convincing him to smell through his elbows and wear Aquaman tighty whities. They are married and have four children, though three of them now live as wards of the state.

Nuke LaLoosh: Nuke was an instant hit with the Atlanta Braves. Known for his asinine quotes, such as "We take it one game at a time," "I'm just happy to be here," and "The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again - think about it," Nuke soon had a following of young, easy women whom he wooed with incorrect song lyrics and charming linen suits. He played for 11 years in the majors, retiring with above average stats. After his playing career, he entered broadcasting. He now works for ESPN as its lead baseball analyst. His catch phrase "Take that, Humpty Dumpty!" is world famous.
