In the “I believe…” monologue from Bull Durham, Crash Davis (Kevin Costner) states his beliefs on various subjects, many of which prove the movie was about more than baseball.

In fact, some of the beliefs refer to OpenSees. With “high fiber”, Davis reveals his preference for fiber sections. And “hanging curve ball” clearly describes IDA results.

In addition, Davis offers his opinion on when Christmas gifts should be opened as well as his affinity for good scotch.

Before you go to bed tonight, where visions of mode shapes will dance in your head, watch this scene. Or watch the whole movie for context. If Die Hard can be considered a Christmas movie, so can Bull Durham.

Beware that some of the beliefs refer to R-rated subjects.
