1:00:03
Home run.
1:00:06
Give me the ball.
1:00:14
You told him l was gonna
throw a deuce, right?
1:00:16
Yep.
1:00:18
That ball got out of here
in a hurry.
1:00:22
Anything that travels that far
oughta have a damn stewardess on it.
1:00:25
Don't you think?
1:01:01
When Nuke started listening to Crash,
everything fell into place.
1:01:05
He started throwing strikes,
and we started to win.
1:01:08
But Nuke was still confused.
1:01:11
He was so encouraged
by his victory...
1:01:12
that he vowed not to have sex
until he lost.
1:01:15
Unfortunately, however,
he kept on winning...
1:01:17
and for one extraordinary
June and July...
1:01:20
the Durham Bulls
began playing baseball...
1:01:21
with joy and verve and poetry.
1:01:26
The two sides of my own brain
werejumbled up and cross-wired.
1:01:29
While one side
was being neglected...
1:01:32
the other was in paradise
watching our Bulls play...
1:01:34
like big leaguers.
1:01:35
We swept a four-game series
at Kinston...
1:01:37
two games at Winston-Salem...
1:01:39
and kicked the holy shit
out of Greensboro in a three-game set.
1:01:42
And Crash,
who kept hitting dingers...
1:01:44
was approaching
the minor-league record...
1:01:47
though l told nobody.
1:01:49
After sweeping
theJuly 4 doubleheader...
1:01:52
the Durham Bulls
were tied for first.
1:01:54
Beautiful as the winning streak was,
l was getting damn lonely.
1:01:59
Something had to be done.
