Fun Ruth Short

Just Pals (1932)

*** (out of 4)

A young boy isn't that good at baseball and the local kids are teasing him about it. Babe Ruth decides to take the young kid to a field and teach him some fundamentals. Ruth made a number of shorts during his short time in Hollywood and for the most part they were mildly entertaining for what they were. They followed the Bobby Jones format shown in his "How To Golf" series but of course the sport here is baseball. For the most part this was entertaining enough and certainly worth watching for baseball nuts who want to see and hear Ruth teaching the sport. There's nothing ground-breaking here but it's a fun way to kill nine-minutes.
