Description

"This is a detailed look at the 111 "fictional" baseball films produced and released in the United States from 1915 through 2001. This expanded and updated version of the 1992 first edition includes 29 new films. New material includes an entry on 1978's Goodbye, Franklin High and revisions to several entries after the uncut versions of several silent and pre-1950 talkie baseball films were made available, among them Hit and Run (1924), The Battling Orioles (1924), and Slide, Kelly, Slide (1927).". "Each entry contains cast and production credits, year of release, a synopsis, a critique and behind-the-scenes information. Two additional sections cover baseball short subjects and baseball in non-baseball films, and there is an extensive bibliography."--BOOK JACKET.
