This is the ending

"This is the ending." CLASH pointed to the owner of the pool hall and said to NUKE, who was just selected by the major leagues. "What was his hit rate in the minor leagues, but, look, this is the ending."
Yes, this is the end. The ending, when the guy who was still complaining that his recent low playing rate was slamming the bench in the face of the manager's dismissal before the game, we vaguely saw this ending. Later, when NUKE entered the major leagues, CLASH naturally repeated the mistakes of most minor league players and left. This was his only choice.
CLASH is gone, but he still insisted on playing the whole season, even though, when his 247th home run hit, the court was calm, but he was taken aback.
Even though they have to face this ending, they are still on this court, they catch, pass, and play. Some people want to survive, and some people love, for example, our CLASH.
The 21-day exhibition game in the major leagues was the best time of his life. Although he eventually came back, after all, he had played in the world's top arena. In the car driving away, CLASH, who has always been serious, told his teammates about the experience: the spacious lounge, the huge stadium, and the beautiful cheerleader girls.
I always feel that CLASH has a bit of Qiao Feng's taste. I don't know if works under the romantic fiction always use a man's tragedy in exchange for attention. Although NUKE's talent determines everything, we still feel a little bit uneasy for CLASH. However, CLASH himself doesn't think so. He has always been so calm, occasionally there is a little spark, and it quickly goes out. He is persistent, because he loves, so he is so peaceful. He is neither preaching nor superstitious. He is using his own way, a man's way to influence NUKE. Finally, NUKE entered the major leagues and CLASH was forced to end his career. However, this end may not be The ending, the ending of CLASH is the beginning of NUKE.
This is the end, NUKE, with CLASH's perseverance and love to stand on the pitcher mound of the major leagues...


PS. The old film was released when the association welcomed the new year. I have watched it twice before. It was funny and exciting at first, and then I gradually paid attention to some details. Although slightly romantic, it really counts as the best in baseball movies. There is a lot of content. The benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom. I am also a catcher, and it is the penultimate year of my baseball career... alas...

Bull Durham quotes

  • Crash Davis: Last chance. Your place or mine?

    Annie Savoy: Despite my rejection of most Judeo-Christian ethics, I am, within the framework of the baseball season, monogamous.

  • Annie Savoy: These are the ground rules. I hook up with one guy a season. Usually takes me a couple weeks to pick the guy - kinda my own spring training. And, well, you two are the most promising prospects of the season so far, so I just thought we should kinda get to know each other.

    Crash Davis: Time out. Why do you get to choose?

    Annie Savoy: What?

    Crash Davis: Why do you get to choose? I mean, why don't I get to choose, why doesn't he get to choose?

    Annie Savoy: Well, actually, nobody on this planet ever really chooses each other. I mean, it's all a question of quantum physics, molecular attraction, and timing. Why, there are laws we don't understand that bring us together and tear us apart. Uh, it's like pheromones. You get three ants together, they can't do dick. You get 300 million of them, they can build a cathedral.

    [Crash laughs]

    Ebby Calvin LaLoosh: So is somebody going to go to bed with somebody or what?

    Annie Savoy: Honey, you are a regular nuclear meltdown. You better cool off. Ha ha, ha ha!

    [to Crash as he stands up]

    Annie Savoy: Oh, where are you going?

    Crash Davis: After 12 years in the minor leagues, I don't try out. Besides, uh, I don't believe in quantum physics when it comes to matters of the heart.

    Annie Savoy: What do you believe in, then?

    Crash Davis: Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.

    [pauses then winks and walks away]

    Crash Davis: Goodnight.

    Annie Savoy: Oh my. Crash...

    Ebby Calvin LaLoosh: Hey, Annie, what's all this molecule stuff?
