This week marks the 20th anniversary of one my favorite movies, Bull Durham. Far more than a movie about baseball, the film taught important lessons about love, life, Susan Sontag, and that candlesticks always make for a nice wedding gift.
Sports Illustrated senior writer Austin Murphy give us this inside scoop to what happened to Crash Davis, Annie Savory and Nuke LaLoosh following the end of Bull Durham.
The following June, LaLoosh appeared in a photograph in Sports Illustrated bearing the caption, "I See London ..." The image revealed a hole in his pants -- he'd just brushed himself off after a hard slide into second -- exposing to public view the clasp of a black lace garter. The following week, as "GarterGate" reached a full boil, he explained to beat writers that, ever since his days in Durham, he'd made periodic use of the garter, whenever he needed to get himself out of a funk. (He thought it unnecessary to repeat what Annie had told him: "They're gonna hug your waist so snugly and kinda dangle off your thighs and buns in such a wonderful way it'll help you see things differently.")
