This was one of the most beautifully narrated picture of "real" professional baseball as it was before it became a game of mediocre, millionaire imitations. The home movies of some of the outstanding ball players (who, unfortunately, will never be equalled was a joy to behold. Just seeing some of these men---my boyhood heroes---brought me to tears.
It was beautifully produced. I taped it to save forever.
