This is one of the most unique baseball movies that I've ever seen. It really balances insight with humor. The Church of Baseball is a really interesting way to address some people's obsession with baseball. Annie is the only character that really has an obsession with baseball. For Nuke and Crash it's just a way of life. I love the conflict/contrast that arises when one character's career is on the way up, while another character's is winding down. The relationship between Crash and Nuke is where most of the comedy comes from. My favorite bit of advice that he gives is when Crash tells Nuke not to throw anymore fastballs because they're fascist. Their relationship is also where most of the depth of Bull Durham comes from.
