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 covers 28 new films. New material includes an entry on 1978's Goodbye Franklin High (unavailable for the 1992 edition) and revisions to some entries after uncut versions of several silent and pre-1950 talkie baseball films were made available, among them Hit and Run (1924), The Battling Orioles (1924), Slide Kelly Slide (1927) and They Learned About Women (1930). Each entry contains full cast and production credits, year of release, production company, a synopsis, and a critique. Behind-the-scenes and background information is included. Two additional (and completely updated) sections cover baseball short subjects and baseball in non-baseball films. There is an extensive bibliography.
