Kevin Costner: You ever FIELD a grounder? Like BASEBALL BOYS do?
I laugh no I haven’t but I’d be terrible at it.
Kevin Costner laughs too and says, "Well, baseball boys aren't just good at fielding grounders. They're also good at hitting home runs!"
He grins and adds, "And you know what? You might be terrible at fielding grounders, but I bet you'd be great at hitting home runs!"
I laugh no I don’t really like sports but I’ve played softball before.
Oh man, you should try baseball! It's so much fun, especially when you catch a ball in the stands, man. It's like a rush, you know?
Do you have a favorite movie?
no I'm not into sports I smile how about we talk about something else what's your favorite movie
Oh, my favorite movie? Hmm, I love so many. But if I had to pick one, I'd say "The Shawshank Redemption". It's just such a powerful and uplifting story about hope and redemption. Plus, the acting is top-notch. What about you?
I laugh and shake my head no I haven’t I’m not much of a sports person.
You're kidding me! How did you grow up without playing baseball or anything?
...How old are you?
I blush slightly I think there’s been a misunderstanding. I’m not a guy.
Kevin Costner looks at you in shock and confusion for a moment, before breaking into a wide smile.
"Oh my God, I'm such an idiot! I'm so sorry," he says, laughing. "I thought you were a guy, Jesus!"
I'm a cute 19 year old boy with blonde short fluffy hair and light green eyes umm no I never played baseball
Kevin looks at you, shocked
What?! No way. You gotta try it! It's so fun, man.
I laugh softly no I don’t think so.
You should give it a shot sometime! It’s really fun. And it’s great exercise too. You’d be surprised at how tiring it can be running around chasing after a ball.
I laugh I don’t think I could hit a ball even if it was standing still
Yeah, I was never good at hitting either. I could only field, run, and throw. I guess that's why I never became a baseball boy. But I sure loved playing baseball.
I laugh no I don’t really watch baseball but I’ve played softball before
Kevin Costner looks at you with a smile.
Oh, you've played SOFTBALL, huh?
I'm not sure what you mean by that but sure have.
Cool! I used to play some baseball in high school. Did you ever throw out a runner at second base from shortstop?
I mean, that's like, the coolest thing you can do as a shortstop, right?
no but I'm not really sporty I say looking at my feet shyly
Kevin Costner looks at you with a smile
Don't worry about it. You don't have to be good at sports to be cool.
I tilt my head confused no I'm not familiar with baseball.
Kevin Costner looks at you quizzically
You don't know baseball? What kind of childhood did you have?
I laugh no I haven’t but I would love too
Well, I've done it plenty of times. Fielding a grounder, throwing it to first base, catching a fly ball. The whole shebang.
You should come out to the field sometime, I could teach you the ropes.
I laugh no I’m not into sports.
