History

Historical Context

Orion Pictures released Ron Shelton’s baseball comedy Bull Durham on June 15 1988, starring Kevin Costner as veteran catcher Crash Davis. The film’s $50 million North American gross highlighted the single-A Durham Bulls, then in the Carolina League, and helped spur the team’s move to a new ballpark in 1995 and promotion to Triple-A International League in 1998.
