"Alcoa Premiere" Flashing Spikes (1962)
An old ballplayer, thrown out of baseball due to a bribery scandal, becomes friends with a young phenom. The younger player is at first tainted by his association with the oldtimer, but eventually the truth about the scandal is revealed.
Special cameo appearance by John Wayne as the umpire. Funny scene! John Wayne and John Ford and Tige Andrews were great friends.
