This scene always gets to me as well...it's at the beginning of the film. A young Lou G. is trying to get into a neighborhood baseball game but the older kids don't want him. So he pulls some cards out of his back pocket to offer as a bribe.
He said some star names...I know Eddie Collins was one but I don't remember the others. Finally he says, "I have a Babe Ruth!"
The other kid scowls. "
A rookie?!"
Times sure have changed...
