No, the kid didn't call his shot. But the coach was an asshole anyway.

"Not too high. Too far."

"Who gives a shit. It's gone."

"Juuuust a bit outside. Tried the corner and missed."

Gutter · May 21, 2009

Shit! I've been cut already?

EDIT: You decide.

"Want me to drag him out of here? Kick the shit out of him?"

Hey bartender! Jobu needs a refill!

Same play, my question . . . Taylor puts the bunt and run on the pitch before, but gets brushed back with the pitch. Same play, one pitch later, Hayes breaks from second on the pitch, and the fateful play is history, at least on the silver screen. So my question, why didn't Hayes break on the pitch before? <<I know, because it's a friggen movie>>

No. Taylor didn't suggest the bunt until after Willie stole second on the first pitch. He then got brushed back after calling his shot on the second pitch, called his shot again and laid down the bunt on the third pitch.

Right, but he called the play after Hayes stole second and was standing there. So the pitch AFTER he called the play, hayes didn't break an dTaylor was brushed back. Then he got up, and called his stot again. This time, Hayes broke from second.

I spent a few long nights as one of thousands of extras in the stands at old County Stadium for filming. This was one of the scenes.

It was weird watching it being filmed because all he REALLY did was point, and then run around the bases. No pitcher, no hitting, nothing. And they did about 20 takes of it before the director was satisfied.

Also saw Cerrano's HR filmed, and it was the same thing. He just kept running around the bases with the bat in his hand, but again with no pitcher and no hitting.

One night me and a buddy sneaked down near the Indians' dugout before filming shut down. Charlie Sheen threw his hat into the crowd and my buddy caught it. Problem was that was the only hat they had in his size, and the wardrobe manager begged my buddy to give it back. He did, but only after Sheen came back out and signed a baseball for him.

Good memories.

Gotcha .. read it wrong. Thought you were referring to his steal of second.

God, Norm, DO NOT tell me you're the fat guy in the grey tee-shirt I've been annoyed by for two decades now. You know, the guy they show running out from the stands after the Indians win not once, not twice... but three times... passing the exact same point so obviously that it blows continuity to all hell and back.

If you're him, I will be forced to hunt you down, kill you and display your severed head in a place of honor amongst my Tribe memorabilia.
