It may not be Cooperstown, but there is a place willing to embrace a 15th anniversary celebration of the popular baseball movie "Bull Durham," after all.

The salute is now moving to Brooklyn.

"From Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Gil Hodges and Sandy Koufax to the Cyclones, Brooklyn's glorious baseball heritage makes it a fitting place for the 'Bull Durham' celebration," one of the movie's stars, Tim Robbins, 44, said in a statement.

Robbins, his real-life mate Susan Sarandon and Robert Wuhl -- three of the principal actors from the film, which also starred Kevin Costner -- and "Durham" director Ron Shelton will attend a special screening next Wednesday night at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, reports the Associated Press.

Brooklyn Academy of Music president Karen Brooks Hopkins called it "one of film's great love letters to America's game."

Robbins and Sarandon were originally scheduled to appear at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., to mark the anniversary of the film's release.

But the Hall's president, former President Reagan aide Dale Petroskey, autocratically canceled the event because of couple's anti-war sentiments and actions in protest of American military intervention in Iraq. Even Kevin Costner, a Republican, voiced his criticism of Petroskey's action, which was deemed as an attack on the First Amendment.

This week, Petroskey admitted in a statement that he had erred by bringing politics into the Hall and for alerting the press of the event's cancellation before he informed Robbins and Sarandon. (He did not, however, apologize to them.)

So, it's now on to Brooklyn -- and the New York celebrations won't stop there.

On May 5, Sarandon, 56, will be this year's honoree at the Film Society of Lincoln Center's annual spring gala. Previous recipients of the black-tie tribute include screen legends Fred Astaire, Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn.
