"[Bull Durham] brought a modicum of fame for the real Davis. He stopped by the film set one day in Durham. 'All these people jumped up when I said my name was Crash Davis,' he told the Associated Press. 'You would have thought I’d been resurrected.'.... Bull Durham was released 23 years ago, but still has an impact. Sports Illustrated and Rotten Tomatoes have both ranked it as the best sports movie ever made. It is a must-watch for those who worship at the Church of Baseball. It’s immensely quotable. And it allowed Crash Davis, the real Crash Davis, to live on even now, a decade after his death."
