I don't recall what he did to get incarcerated, but his stay was lengthened when he hit Warden Hazen before he was Warden... at least, this is the best of my recollection from seeing it SO many times - I could have gotten something a little messed up :)
No, it was Pop that hit Hazen before he made Warden.
shareThey can't tell you what the prisoners did to be incarcerated because you're supposed to root for them. Who's going to root for a bunch of murdering rapists?
Nate, though, I don't think did anything all that horrible. I like to think he just slugged the wrong guy. Like Pop.

What are you talking about? In the movie when he comes in the game the announcer says "there's a figure that graced the Polo Grounds for years".
share*beep* ...athletes go to jail all the damn time now...this movie was before its time
shareHe played for the Giants, because that's how Paul recognized him. But he must have done something pretty bad, because he'd been in there for 14 years, according to what he says in the whole "keep your balls" speech.
Here's to the health of Cardinal Puff.
They did say Shokner killed five people outside of prison and two more inside prison. My sense though wasn't serial killer or spree killer but something like a hitman. Still a murderer but comes off looking more bad-ass.
shareHe was a guard when he played for the Giants. Look at where he lines up when he gets in the game. Also adds credence to his line, "After all these years . . . my first touchdown!"
