No disrespect but I can't believe Billy allowed that poser to play a pro ball player. That swing was as bad as I have ever seen in a baseball movie. It's almost Tony Perkins "Fear Strikes Out" bad. And I know it was made for tv but Billy sure was kindhearted and benevolent in that clip.

He's not terrible.

Not nearly as bad as William Bendix as Babe Ruth

It is interesting to hear the voices of Norm Cash and Billy Martin again. I think that Jimmy Butsicaris was also actually at the Tiger Stadium tryout as well.

.........I used to walk to games with my brothers and friends to tiger games and remember how that place was like a second home when I was a kid. I lived just a couple of miles west down michigan ave. when this was filmed. Skipped school one day and hung around the park and found the center field gate open while the landscaping crew was working. I stole a small piece of sod and pealed some of that old green chipped paint off the facade and kept it for a long time. Again, I miss that place.

His swing isn't that bad but he;s much smaller physically than LeFLORE was

William Bendix as Babe Ruth had to be the worst casting in a sports movie of all time. In partial defense, though, the script was horrid too.

Holy Shit! You beat me at my own game. I'm great at picking out insignificant actors/actresses from obscure roles, but never saw this one. Is that really Lamar Latrelle? Revenge of the Nerds plus a "background" Cobra Kai from Karate Kid

[bob rasele]

Since they used the real Kaline, Cash, Martin, couldn't they at least have a guy who SOMEWHAT acted like and looked like Stanley? This character seems like the personality of one of Finley's Oakland A's of '72-'74.
