There is no shame with not being very good at softball or tennis, but when the script calls for that particular character to be excellent at what he or she is supposed to be doing then at least cast somebody who can perform those particular tasks, i.e., play softball, tennis, etc. In Lola's defense, Rick was probably worse than Lola, but Rick was supposed to be bad. He was the guy everyone made fun of. |
I had some high school JV softball players who were better than many of the people on that field.... And Rick, oh my gosh is a horrible runner....

Right you are about TS's athletic ability...... I'd not be surprised if he didn't have professional ambitions.. perhaps with baseball. He looked awfully good in his action sequences.
And you're also right about his ability with golf.... He is just an every-day hacker. But, I know that golf is the most difficult of all sports. I had chances to be a pro in four different sports, including baseball where I had offers from the Phillies, Mets and strangely enough, from the Tigers. I have batted against major league pitchers and will tell everyone that hitting that little white golf ball with success is the most difficult thing I've ever tried in sport... and I was able to play in the US Senior Amateur..

MaiTaiMan... you wrote "Oh I totally agree that "women" were more acceptable back then on TV...and most were more acceptable to me than the teenage, alcoholic, drug addict, ho-bags that are a lot of what you see in the media today. I like the original version, so-to-speak, as I find a lot of the so-called celebrities of today worthless (ex: Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Richie, Britany Spears, etc...)! "
You are dead-on balls accurate with that.... can't stand a one of the ones you named at the end of your post.

| Selleck played backetball at USC. I've also heard one time Mickey Mantle said he could've been a baseball player had he focused his energy on the sport.

good episode........and as big a sports fan that I am.....especially baseball (as if the screen name didn't give it away).......I really hate most shows/movies that try to in corporate it. It usually has poor editing and too many actors couldn't tell the difference between a softball and a volleyball. Those horrible failures do make the successfull ones that much more enjoyable...such as Bull Durham.
Selleck is obviously an excellent athlete and his love of baseball has been no secret for decades. His Jesse Stone character was a minor leaguer if my memory serves correct.
Buzz.......combo of Bob Guccione (Penthouse) and Larry Flynt (Hustler). Not an ounce of Hugh Hefner in the character. The actor, Dick Shawn.....I could swear I've heard his voice many times in either cartoons or something animated.

Why do you say that? I'm asking because I know next to nothing about those characters...
