I read about this on another thread earlier today. Cool story

. I might go watch this just because of that.

But then again, I might also watch Everyone's Hero just because it has Babe Ruth...

Glad to see he didn't pull a Billy Crystal

Way to go Jack, he is big enough to choose his own cap and he took it to his advantage. Way to not sell out.

I remember reading a long time ago that Nicholson was a big Yankee fan. You've got to remember he grew up in Jersey during their hey day when playing in the WS was a formality.

That is awesome. Jack is in charge and he knows it.

ryben6 · 09-15-06, 07:06 AM

nice move Jack ... way to stay loyal

Jglaubman · 09-15-06, 07:25 AM

Nice..... good job Jack.

Nothing like a Yankee/Laker fan... someone after my own heart. Is he a Vikings fan too?

My sister and her husband and my father were at Shea for the Yankee clincher in the 2000 World Series. Jack Nicholson was sitting two rows away from her. She said that he was jumping up and down cheering for the Yankees the entire game.

Nice Jack

Personally I think this is pretty weak if true. The guy's an actor, he's supposed to inhabit a role, not balk because the character is different from him personally. Besides, he's a criminal, he should be wearing a Sox hat.

Director Martin Scorsese suggested the movie legend wear a Boston Red Sox cap for one pivotal scene, but backed down when New Yorker Nicholson insisted he wouldn't wear the head gear out of loyalty to the Yankees.

Instead, the star dons a Yankees cap in the scene, according to magazine Sports Illustrated.

Good for you Jack!

Kudos to Nicholson if he really is a true Yankee fan... But, he's always come across to me as somewhat of a bandwagon jumper. I seemed to remember that he would attend Knicks' games back in the Riley era and then once that was over, he returned to LA.

He's not just an actor. He's the man. He can do what he wants. i would do the same in his situation.

jlw1980 · 09-15-06, 02:04 PM

If he's from Jersey, why is he a Lakers fan?

I keep having this image of Jack screaming at Scorsese, "You can't handle the truth!!!"
