It is amazing that I am a fan of William Bendix, and yet he had the lead roles in the two worst baseball films ever made (The Babe Ruth Story and this turkey). This slapstick attempt at humor barely makes the grade for a watchable film. The Umpire School is the funniest part of the film. Seriously. Just be thankful that this is a relatively short film, and that Bendix would go on to do much better stuff on "The Life of Riley" (whose co-star is in this movie as well).
