This kid deserves way more hype for this catch.

Home run ball coming in, chairs in the way, other guy blocking his view, and he just fully lays out and makes the diving grab.

Billy Bob Thornton says his Landman windmill monologue went viral, with oil workers thanking him for “showing people” how the industry really works.

“That scene became huge. I mean it was all over the internet.”

“When I run into an oil guy… they always bring that scene up and thank me… ‘Thanks for showing people what this is.’”

“People try to politicize everything, and the fact of the matter is that Taylor… is not taking a side. He’s just saying, ‘Here’s a look behind the curtain at how this works.’”

“This is how it works and this is how it affects the people who work in it. This is how dangerous it is, here’s how much of a gamble it is.”

“When something makes sense to you dialogue wise, it’s easy to do a long monologue.”

Continuing our baseball movie theme, here are some Bull Durham Bull Facts:

-In the meeting at the pitcher's mound, Robert Wuhl ad-libbed his line about getting candlesticks as a wedding present. He said it was based on a real conversation he had with his wife.

-Both Jeff Bridges and Don Johnson turned down the role of 'Crash'.

-Both Carrie Fisher and Debra Winger auditioned for the role of Annie but backed out.

-Ron Shelton cast Tim Robbins over the strong objections of the studio, who wanted Anthony Michael Hall instead.

-Kurt Russell helped Ron Shelton develop the script and was originally penciled in to play Crash, the part that went to Kevin Costner.

-In their confrontation outside the bar, Crash tells Nuke, "I hear you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a fucking boat." Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda said this in 1984, in reference to weak-hitting San Diego Padres infielder Kurt Bevacqua.

-Although Kevin Costner plays the 'older', more experienced ball player, in real life he's only three years older than Tim Robbins (33 and 30, respectively during filming), and Susan Sarandon was actually 42.

-The "rainout" scene was based on actual event. In the late 1960s, Ron Shelton played minor-league ball in the Texas League. Shelton's team was in Amarillo, Texas for a season-ending series. The night before the final game, Shelton, some teammates and some Amarillo players were out partying and decided to go to the stadium and turn on the sprinkler system, thereby flooding the field and ensuring a "rainout". However, the Amarillo team owner rented a helicopter, dried the field, and the game was played.

-The bull billboard offering a "free steak" if it gets tagged by a home run was created for the film. The real-life team kept it, even after moving to a newer, bigger stadium, Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Even today, if a player hits the bull on the fly with a home run, he wins a free steak from a local restaurant, and if the player hits the grass that the bull stands on, he wins a free salad.

-Kevin Costner is a switch hitter; he is shown hitting both left and right-handed at different points in the film.

-The note that Crash writes to Annie actually reads "Let's f#ck sometime" not "I want to make love to you". It can be seen over Crash's right shoulder when he writes the note in the dugout.

-As the credits are rolling at the end of the film, there is a picture (which is made to be a shrine) of Yankee great Thurman Munson, who died in a plane crash.

-Originally, after Annie and Crash have their argument in Crash's apartment, there was a scene in which Annie and Crash go to a bar and have a heart-to-heart talk. In the talk, Crash asks Annie why she loves baseball so much. She explains that several years before, her estranged father passed away and that the funeral took place in Florida. She was so distraught after the funeral that she wandered off and ended up at the New York Yankees spring training facility where she met the legendary Munson (thus explaining her shrine to Munson seen in the film). From then on, she developed a deep-rooted love of the game. According to Ron Shelton in the DVD commentary, he cut that scene out when it was received poorly during a test screening.

🚨 PATRIOT! On this Fourth of July, let’s remember what real American patriotism looks like.

Baseball legend Rick Monday didn’t hesitate, two protesters stormed the field at Dodger Stadium trying to burn the American flag, and he sprinted in like a boss and SNATCHED it right out of their hands.

No apologies. No weakness. Just pure love for the greatest flag on earth.

That’s the spirit we celebrate today, defending Old Glory with everything we’ve got.

God bless Rick Monday and God bless the USA! 🇺🇸

Have you ever heard the Declaration of Independence read out loud?

You should. It’s the greatest break-up letter ever written.

At just 33 years old, Thomas Jefferson, with cold moral clarity, told the British government to pound sand:

“Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], it is the Right of the People to alter or to ABOLISH it.”

The power of that line isn’t just what it says. It’s how it’s said.

Jefferson wasn’t writing from a place of outrage. He was transmitting conviction—moral clarity delivered from a steady frame of mind.

It’s said Jefferson revised the Declaration of Independence with the help of Franklin and Adams dozens of times before it was finalized.

And that deliberate, cutting language, paired with emotional steadiness, is precisely why the words still land 250 years later.

Today, we’re blessed to be the inheritors of the great nation those steady hands wrote into existence.

Happy Birthday, America. 🇺🇸
