Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. According to Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon), where do the lava lizards of the Galapagos Islands breathe?

Answer: Through its eyelids

She mentions this while she is trying to help rookie pitcher "Nuke" LaLoosh work on his powers of concentration.

2. Annie Savoy gives Ebby "Nuke" LaLoosh (Tim Robbins) a garter belt. According to Crash Davis (Kevin Costner), where does the rose go?

Answer: the front

While getting dressed in the locker room for a game, Crash sees that the garter belt is on backwards and tells Nuke, "The rose goes in the front, big guy."

3. Who was originally cast to play Crash Davis?

Answer: Kurt Russell

Russell actually helped Director Ron Shelton with the script but after auditions, both men agreed that Costner was better suited for the role.

4. What was the Bulls record when Manager Joe Riggins (Trey Wilson) has his bat throwing tirade in the locker room?

Answer: 8-16

During the tirade, Riggins asks coach Larry Hockett what their record was. When Hockett answers "8-16", Riggins sarcastically asks "How'd we ever win 8?" to which Hockett answered "It's a miracle."

5. During that same locker room tongue lashing, what does Manager Riggins accuse the players of doing?

Answer: Lollygagging

He tells the team that they lollygag to first base, they lollygag to the outfield, they lollygag in and out of the dugout, etc. Then he asks Coach Hockett what that makes them and he perceptively answers "Lollygaggers."

6. During a speech to Annie, Crash mentions, among other things, that he believes presents should be opened on Christmas Day and not Christmas Eve. Who does he say killed J.F.K.?

Answer: Lee Harvey Oswald

Davis says that he believes Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. The irony was that years later, Kevin Costner played Jim Garrison in the Oliver Stone movie "J.F.K.", in which he set out to prove there was a conspiracy.

7. During a conversation at the mound, Crash tells "Nuke" that strikeouts are what?

Answer: Fascist

Crash is lecturing LaLoosh at the mound after he keeps throwing fastballs, and he says that strikeouts are fascist.

8. According to Coach Larry Hockett (Robert Wuhl), what makes a nice wedding gift?

Answer: Candlesticks

Coach Hockett gives this advice during a conference at the mound when, according to Crash, they are dealing with a lot of heavy stuff.

9. What did a player win, if he hit a home run that hit the bull above the right field fence?

Answer: A free steak

An opposing player hits a home run off the bull after Crash tells him what kind of pitch is coming. When Crash goes to the mound, he tells LaLoosh "that guy just won a free steak." When the bull was hit, its eyes lit up and smoke came out of its nose.

10. What does Annie do to "Nuke" after she ties him up in bed?

Answer: Reads poetry to him

"Nuke" thinks the whole thing is great and kind of kinky, until she starts reading poetry (Walt Whitman) instead of having sex with him.
