Bull Durham

Minor league movie

Bull Durham is a 1988 American romantic comedy about minor league baseball, starring Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon, and Tim Robbins.

The film follows a veteran catcher mentoring a talented but unfocused pitcher, with both men involved with a baseball groupie who annually selects one player as her lover.

Widely considered one of the best sports films ever made, it captures the unglamorous reality of bush league ball—long bus rides, small crowds, and players chasing fading dreams.

The title refers to a fictional North Carolina team named after Bull Durham tobacco.
