Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Kevin Costner has opened up about how he convinced George Steinbrenner, former owner of the New York Yankees, to film at Yankee Stadium for his 1999 movie For Love of the Game. While Costner is known for his Western roles, such as in his upcoming Horizon: An American Saga, he's also starred in baseball movies like this one.
The movie wasn't gonna happen in Yankee Stadium, and we already had a crew out there, and no one knew what to do about it, but George wasn't gonna let it happen. It wasn't fair, and it came down to I didn't have no lawyer, no studio executive. Our movie was dead in the water. And somebody said, "Kevin, you need to talk to him." And I was like, "Where're all the tough guys? Everybody, what are you talking about? I have to talk to George.
And I said, "You win. In fact, you not only win the pennant, George, you go on to win the World Series." He goes, "We do?" I said, "You do in my story. Just, we're not gonna see that part." And he, I don't know what the hell happened, but he said, "Okay, but you know what this organization means to me." I said, "I certainly do. You win the World Series, George. I swear to God, you do." Turns out they did, they won that year.
