the card game in Bang the Drum Slowly was Tegwar. The game had no rules (the name of the game had something to do with this)

Glad to see that I am not the only one to retain such important facts. Most times, I can not tell you what color the shirt I am wearing is without peaking, but movie trivia and baseball stats from half a lifetime ago still fill my head.

The Natural, hands down...though Moneyball is my new favorite film. Can't go wrong with either, really.

I was also shot at Milwaukee County Stadium. I almost went to be an extra during the shooting. I should have done it. But I was only 17 at the time.

Hi Ted--
I've seen The Stratton Story several times. The actor who played the scout who found Stratton was also the Wizard of Oz. |

Barnstorming
Always wished I coulda barnstormed, guess that's why Bingo Long is my favorite picture.
James Earl Jones was quite a hitter in this flick, but what other movie(s) will you find him slugging the ball? |

'The Great White Hope' - though he played the boxer Jack Johnson, he suited up as a hopefully anonymous Negro League player to evade police. He wasn't actually shown hitting a baseball in that roll, but if memory serves, he swung a bat in response to questions of how he would defend himself.

James Earl Jones
In the Sayle's movie Matewan I believe Jones plays baseball while waiting out the coal strike.

Some of these baseball movies that have been mentioned are real classics. There are 2 movies nobody has mentioned: Safe at Home which starred Mickey Mantle & Roger Maris & The Pride Of St. Louis, which was story about Dizzy Dean. However, The Pride of the Yankees has to be the the #1 classic, since the Babe starred in the movie despite a great performance by Gary Cooper.
