Actor Robert Wuhl visits GABP, gets in-person gut punch of Graham Ashcraft no-decision

Actor Robert Wuhl, who starred in Arliss among many television shows and movies and had some of the funniest lines in "Bull Durham," attended Friday night's game between the Washington Nationals and Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park with his goddaughter and was impressed with the 28th Major League venue he's visited.

Wuhl revealed in an interview during the game with Bally Sports Ohio's Jim Day that he's been friends with analyst, former Moeller High School standout and National Baseball Hall of Famer Barry Larkin for about 30 years. He talked about how his famous "candlesticks always make a nice gift" line in "Bull Durham" was ad-libbed/improvised and his wife's idea.
