Next time ask him about the two dingers he hit on the NATO base in Iceland. He’s a monster batter. We had a great time. So appreciative of him stopping by to visit the troops stationed there.
He really cares about what he puts out and wants it to be honest and believable. Loved "Bull Durham". "Anything that moves that fast outta have a stewardess on on it."
He'd be great as an mediocre minors manager coming over to a new organization and flipping a dying crop of last chance first rounders. Or an independent ball manager getting his chance to get back to the MLB affiliated pipeline. He'll have to master fungos though.
@@deepzone31 this idea isn’t terrible, and I actually think it’s way above better than average. “Crash” Davis kind of doing the “Lou Brown” in Major League, but as a Double A or Triple A skipper that knows as soon as he gets a stud, that cat is on a first class fight to the MLB team? As a baseball fan, I’m in love with this idea.
I always was a good hitter growing up and batted 3rd or 4th on every time, but I also a hard throwing good pitcher as well. When I got to high school I was throwing about 87-88mph as a freshman and then 90mph as a sophomore. Our coach had a rule that he wouldn't let pitchers hit under any circumstances. To me it was just so incredibly stupid because the other best pitcher and I were also the best hitters. So, basically I never picked up a bat again after like 12 or 13 years old, and I blew out my arm for good by the start of my senior year and stopped playing. So, a few years back I was 27-28 and I went to hit balls with my friend at the local high school. The field was 330ft down the lines and 405ft to center. I was hitting home runs dead center around 450ft. I even managed to hit 9 home runs out of 20 pitches (we'd throw 20 at a time then switch) at one point, averaging probably around 380ft. I realize we were just throwing like 50-60mph batting practice, but it gets you thinking just like Costner said that the potential was there.
@@donroisum41 John Smoltz wanted to go to MSU out of high school and play baseball and basketball. Heathcote said nope. Basketball only. Smoltz choose to sign with Detroit, get traded to Atlanta for Doyle Alexander and the rest is history.
Yep, hits his first ever homer on a movie set batting practice. First ever. never in High school, never in college intramurals, First one. Then proudly exclaims he could have played pro ball. Makes perfect sense.
Q School is a great concept right now considering what we're learning about the PGA from the LIV golf league. Would like to see what it's like for the guys without million dollar contracts barely scraping by hoping for their PGA card. I'd watch it!
To me,...the most interesting sequel he could have made, would be the Postman. Imagine Ford Lincoln Mercury being 75, and we get the directors version, of what life would be like a hundred years after the first day of apocalypse!
Yeah my uncle played football for leather helmut philly eageles football he was the last one still around he said a dollar late an hour short...meaning sometimes the body doesnt get a growth spurt...till ur cashing out of high school or that last year of school by then ur givin up hope an the scouts shit if they know u my last time i played the summer outof school i hit .720 ....12 double 15 rbi i was out of high school....my grandfather was 65 he never gave up expecting me to go to the pros...i wasnt even serious just happy to play....
Friend of mine saw him an an airport. Didn’t want to bother him but had to throw something away and the trash can was right by Costner. He made his way to the trash can and had no intention of saying anything when Costner said, “Keep walking” What a tool.
His last at bat in Bull Durham for the record he could barely get the ball out of the infield when hitting it upward. Pitching machine threw it over over the outfield fence with the players running to react to it. Interesting to watch them film the scene though.
"how did you know you could be an athlete, I know you played in college..." um yeah that right there maybe? It's fucking hard to be competitive the older you get c'mon Dan!
Yeah I heard he could throw legit high 80s, which might be nothing special now, but back then, that was almost good enough for the pros. Like the Wild Thing, I heard he had some control issues too though, lol
Papa's your always very good I'm sorry I'm tired I just love hearing your voice it makes me feel peace like a wife mourning for her one and only if I had a wish stay with us ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂❤❤😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I know Kevin hates to give autographs. Say 3 people out in LA ask for one and he just said "not now" If you ever see him ask him for one and you will see what I mean. Dude has a temper too.
Not now!!? Thats the Only chance they will have. He needs to sign! Those fans make his career! He can make already signed cards or something and have them ready if thats easier. I do understsnd the hassel but always be cool to people who like you.
@@KnockOffBeingFat I'm sorry but the idea that an actor MUST do whatever fans want because they "make his career" is absurd. Actors are paid to appear in movies and do press interviews to promote them, that's it. They don't owe anyone jack shit on the street, and the people who have the attitude that they do are probably why they don't want to sign autographs in the first place. Some celebrities are nice enough to do it anyways, but I'm sure even the friendliest of them have days where they are in a bad mood or in a rush and can't. Like every other person in the world.
@@KnockOffBeingFat You remind me of the guy in the restaurant in For Love of the Game. The guy is trying to have a serious talk with his girlfriend and the jerk keeps shoving a piece of paper in his face.
Durning Cal’s run at most games played. He caught allegedly lol. Costner on top his wife and didn’t show up to field for game time and the power got shut off at the stadium.
@@Concernedcitizen23-r5n living near Baltimore when this "allegedly " happened, apparently called caught his wife making out with Costner. And Cal decked him. Thats what was going around town
*Dan Patrick* if you ever get to talk to Kevin Costner again please let him know I do have a great idea for a Field of Dreams 2 but it has to be done with James Earl Jones in tow for it to work. I think Kevin will like my idea but it is just an idea no script or screenplay because I can't write very well for anyone to make sense of it. I can help his writers work it into a screenplay and my imagination pops almost every second I am thinking.
I suppose when you're an actor being even a little athletic is a big deal. It's batting practice! Going yard 10-11 times in a session isn't that uncommon.
These guys buy into their own Hollywood hype. The fact is, if Kevin could have been a major league ball player then he would have been a major league ball player. He wasn’t because he couldn’t. That simple.
Meatballs...let's see how he does if the pitcher followed up a meatball with a hard slider in on his hands or a splitter that looks fat....until it isn't. Most guys that played even HS baseball can hit straight fastballs. They will eventually even catch up to pitchers throwing 80-90, but mix in even mediocre breaking balls and it's game over for most.
It's all about timing and pitch recognition. If you can't tell a slider from a fastball, yeah, you're gonna have a bad time no matter how strong you are.

His baseball movies seem the truest to capturing the sport and really getting the little things and the players oddities.

That was a cool little interview. Great movie and he looked like a player for sure.
Love everything you do Kevin!
As much as I love Bull Durham and hate sequels, I could definitely see Costner as a manager of a minor league club.
He'd be great as an mediocre minors manager coming over to a new organization and flipping a dying crop of last chance first rounders. Or an independent ball manager getting his chance to get back to the MLB affiliated pipeline. He'll have to master fungos though.
All I can see is Paul Newman’s Reggie Dunlop. I could see it happening.

I honestly like every Kevin Costner movie I have ever seen
Never really liked Kevin Costner as an actor but the movie "Mr. Brooks" changed my mind. That was a hellava good movie! Please make a sequel!
I REALLY want to see a sequel to Mr Brooks
Absolutely! Great movie.
I want to see a sequel to pootie tang
So this is me when I hit the last shot at a driving range perfectly, negating the last 49 bad ones.
Dan, your one of the best my friend! Great interviews!👍
Curiously, a sequel to Waterworld has never been discussed.
probably due to the drought
You mean "Fishtar"?
Waterworld 2: Shitwrecked
Could sit around a fire and listen to this guy tell stories all night
That's cool Costner kept the Shelby Mustang.
One of my most favorite actors. I think he might have been drinking
