I have never read the book. Can anyone who has tell us if this is any kind of plot point/mentioned in the print form?

reply

[–] JoeLoebner 17 years ago

Wow, ive never thought of that before.

did read the book... the Walther Matthau character (Buttermaker) actually takes Joey Turner's mom for a drive, I think, just to chat about the various conflicts with her Coach-husband, and s-h-e makes a mini-play for Buttermaker! He turns her down. So, the scene where *she takes her son (after coach-dad slaps him) and leaves the final game is quite telling.

* sorry - edited this phrase: my typo said 'he' by mistake

Nothing weird about it at all, assuming you've spent any time around coaches and tournament directors.

reply

[–] orr22np 17 years ago

Well that's kind of a big assumption, care to enlighten us?

I found the relationship between the Yankees coach (Turner) and the lady who organized the league quite normal, if for no other reason than I'm at the ball park every summer.

I always thought she seemed like a lesbian.

WoW...I ALWAYS PICKED UP ON THAT TOO...HOW FUNNY! And when they're at The Pizza Hut at the pre season get together she asked his wife where he was and she just shot her a look and said he's SOMEWHERE or ANOTHER...

GREAT MOVIE

Yeah, but his wife was WAY HOTTER than the skank that ran the league.

The only way he was having an affair with that hag was to get the best ball players.....

his wife is smoking hot and looked as if she was a wild one, I am sure she was open to a lot of wild orgies and sex parties...no guy would want to lose her

he would only use the hag to help him win championships..maybe he just flirted with her and was nice to her... if he did have sex with her he didn't enjoy it im sure

People said the same thing about Tiger, and he banged several girls that were not as hot as Elin...

reply

[–] Zando777 15 years ago

Tiger is ghey, and has a small asian penis. Therefore, he must compensate by faking affairs with other girls.

Turner's wife had a hot enough ass

reply

[–] bam2360 13 years ago

I hope not!!! Roy Turner's wife was a piece-of-ass.

reply

[–] TwittingOnTrender 13 years ago

If I'm thinking of the right people, the Fine Piece Of Ass gives her husband a funny look just before she walks off on him (after the humiliation scene where his kid refuses to throw the ball back or whatever he's supposed to do). This is of course the scene that inspired many comments about that lady's amazing rear end.

The look she gives him seems to be full of meaning, like "That is it. First the affairs, now this. We're through". And she walks off. I may be reading too much into it, I just thought it was loaded with meaning, years before I read this thread/theory.

Call me crazy,but I would not have beat around the bush with Vic Morrow. ;)

I don't know about that other woman who was in charge of the field,equipment,etc.

You guys can take Turner's wife with the nice tush and I'll take Vic Morrow with the nice blue eyes and chest hair.

Marry me,Bob Gunton!

[–] corinnacarpenter 12 years ago

It seems to me that she sort of had a crush on him.

She was always around him.

I friggin' love Vic Morrow. :)

The woman who organized the league was masculine. She might have been straight. But she was not worth risking a marriage for. Wouldn't people in the '70s object to a lesbian running a little league?

reply

[–] AdamBowl23 12 years ago

I'm watching the movie now and agree with the original poster. Those two are like two peas in a pod, they both deserve to be punched in the face.

And Vic's character is a moron if he was messing around with the equipment lady. His was smoking hot. I'd be spending more time at home and let someone else coach the baseball team if I was him.

they wouldn't have "known". most of the time people got the benefit of the doubt. if you point blank ask them if they are gay and they say "no, they just haven't found anyone yet".... it is assumed they are being honest.

why... i don't know. this went well into the 80s. hell, it still goes on today. look at what that yutz from american idol did. deny deny deny....

everyone knew it.

same thing here. this chick walks like she's got a pair hanging between her legs. she definitely was a dyke.
