the white sox starting pitcher made an offhand quote about how he doesn't have a family or girlfriend, all he does is play baseball, and his teammates are now wearing shirts about conserving their vital essence to help him play baseball better

![Now known as the cuddly, inoffensive star of family-friendly flicks like Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, The Flintstones, and Ghostbusters, the diminutive Rick Moranis started out as a smart-mouthed comic and radio DJ, and it was these qualities that he allegedly brought to the set of Walter Hill’s 1984 cult action fantasy, Streets Of Fire, which was one of his first big screen roles. “Rick Moranis drove me out of my mind,” co-star, Michael Pare, told Ain’t It Cool. “There’s this whole wave of insult comedy. If someone insults you a couple of times, you can smack them, but you can’t do that on a movie set. These comedians walk around, and they can say whatever they want. I’m just not that handy with that. Comedians are a special breed. They can antagonise you, and say whatever they fucking want, and you can’t do anything to stop them. It’s one thing once in a while, but I was with the guy all fucking day. He’s this weird looking little guy who couldn’t get laid in a whorehouse with a fistful of fifties. He would imitate me. The first thing he says to me is, ‘Do you just act cool, or are you really cool?’ That was the first sentence out of his mouth to me in [producer] Joel Silver’s office. I was like, ‘Oh fuck, this is not going to go well.’ But he was one of Joel’s dear friends, and he later made lots of hit movies. I just wasn’t that sharp. I wasn’t ready for that kind of crap.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ybyde6eyl6aaygkcfsyrqlb2/bafkreibyouiywwymamgk2y3lvsndyth5w2aqubt3pi7ujsljogpgijqkq4)
