ANNIE:
Well let's get down to it, honey--
how was he?
MILLIE:
Well, he fucks like he pitches.
Sorta all over the place
P.O.V. EBBY LALOOSH FIRES ANOTHER ONE into the stands. And--
Hit "Rock Around the Clock"--
DISSOLVE INTO:
QUICK MONTAGE OF EBBY'S FIRST GAME -- Strikeouts and wild
pitches. A young, gifted, uncontrollable thrower.
When the chimes ring five, six
and seven--We'll be right in
Seventh Heaven, Gonna rock around
the clock tonight...
EBBY UNLEASHES A WILD ONE -- And decks the Bull Mascot.
EBBY IN THE DUGOUT READS THE NOTE from Annie.
EBBY STRIKES OUT a Peninsula batter.
EBBY UNLEASHES ANOTHER WILD ONE and a batter hits the dirt.
End "Rock Around the Clock" and--
CUT TO:
INT. THE BULL LOCKER ROOM -- NIGHT
SKIP WALKS THROUGH THE PLAYERS ROOM -- Players are up, joking
irreverently.
JOSE:
Hey Lefty, hold 'em to 12 runs
every night, you'll win 20--
EBBY:
(he might be serious)
Had 'em all the way.
A DURHAM PLAYER SITTING HALF DRESSED in front of his locker.
A PICTURE OF JESUS hangs amidst his gear. The player, JIMMY,
25, has a Bible and prays softly to himself.
JIMMY:
Dear Lord, thank you for being
with us tonight, thank you for
protecting us from injury and--
DEKE WALKS BY, shaking Jimmy irreverently as he prays.
DEKE:
Wake up, wake up--
MICKEY (A BLACK) COMPLAINS TO TONY as they undress.
MICKEY:
This league is racist, man.
TONY:
Every time you go 0 for 4 you
think the league is racist-face
it, Mick, you're an equal
opportunity "out".
CUT TO:
THE MANAGER'S OFFICE -- A tiny cubicle, a desk, phone Larry
joins him with the pitching charts. Skip studies the charts.
SKIP:
He walked eighteen?!
LARRY:
It's a league record.
SKIP:
Struck out eighteen...
LARRY:
League record.
(beat)
And he hit the Radio Announcer, a
Sportswriter, and the Bull Mascot
twice--also league records--
(beat)
Joe, the guy's got some serious
sh*t.
THE DOOR OPENS -- A PLAYER ENTERS, in street clothes, carrying
his suitcases. CRASH DAVIS, 30, older than the other players.
And different. More than just opinions, he actually has a
point of view. A career minor leaguer, hanging on wherever
he can get a job. Unlike Ebby--Crash knows a lot about the
world without baseball. Also unlike Ebby--he loves baseball
desperately.
LARRY:
Who're you?
Crash speaks slowly, with a trace of cynicism and pride,
like an old warrior who knows he's just a hired gun.
CRASH:
I am the player to be named later.
Beat. Skip looks out, half dressed, from his cubicle.
SKIP:
Crash Davis?
CRASH:
The Crash Davis.
(beat, then nonstop))
And you, Larry Hockett, should
recognize me 'cause five years
ago in the Texas League when you
were pitching for El Paso and I
was hitting cleanup for Shreveport,
you hung a curve on an 0-2 pitch
of a 3-2 game in bottom of the
8th and I tattooed it over the
Goodyear Tire sign, beat you 4-3--
and I got a free wheel alignment
from Goodyear.
