You might imagine, looking at the title of this movie, that it has something to do with baseball. You would be wrong. It's yet another Hollywood musical about vaudeville performers. Once in a blue moon two of them step on a baseball diamond, but nothing ever comes of it.
You might also, looking at the list of those involved in the creation of this movie - director Busby Berkeley, starring Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Jules Munshin, with musical numbers staged by Stanley Donen - imagine that this would be a great musical. You would, again, be wrong, unfortunately. All those individuals were, at one time or another, involved in the creation of some of the greatest American movie musicals, but this certainly isn't one of them.
In fact, alas, it's pretty much of a dud. There isn't a memorable musical number in it, the choreography is nothing special, and the plot is both obvious and uninteresting.
I sat through the whole thing, hoping something would get better, but it never did.
I suggest you don't bother.
