CORONADO, Calif. (KGTV) — Ron Shelton has written several of the most beloved sports movies of all time, including "White Men Can't Jump" and "Tin Cup."
But he's best known for "Bull Durham", the 1988 classic starring Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon, and Tim Robbins that was inspired by Shelton's own time as a minor league baseball player.
Shelton will be honored and hold a screening of "Bull Durham" Friday, Nov. 11 at the Coronado Film Festival, which will include a Q&A session with the audience.
