He's hitting with a spit bat!

The eyes of the lady in black (Hershey) switching from Bluto to Hobbs, this is awesome.
-
What the fuck? Is this the director's cut or did you take some very poor editing liberties?
-
@peterp21 Agree, except... Babe Ruth as himself in Pride of the Yankees.

Joe Don Baker played the best Babe Ruth in film, even if he's not *actually* Babe Ruth in this.

Very interesting posting. It's been re-edited, some small snippets have been taken out and it's been condensed, but there is an interesting addition. Suddenly, the Whammer says, "Hold it! If he tries to dust me off, I'm gonna crack his skull, you both got that!" I have never seen that small segment ever before, even in the Special Edition versions. Thank you very much for sharing this...

@jgrab1 Eddie Waitkus. He recovered and went on to play several more seasons. He was often called "the natural" too.

@roBertpasteur Babe Ruth had lots of strikeouts as well as hits and home runs. He was once struck out by a WOMAN pitcher! This and a few similar incidents led to women being officially banned from MLB. The rationale was that there shouldn't be a "circus". Ha!

@thndrct218 Roger Angell in his long beautiful essay "No, But I Saw the Game" about baseball movies (in the New Yorker, July 31, 1989), says Whammer is definitely supposed to be Babe Ruth.

Hmmm, Whammer's pissed now, but that strikeout probably saved his life when you think about it. That bitch.
