Salt of the earth pitcher. A good, clean family-sports film. Love everything about it. He taught acceptance to others through his humbleness. Just because he didn't sound educated when he spoke, he was honest that he didn't have an education due to circumstances beyond his control 1:27:33. And like he said symbolically, whatever you have to face in life, give it everything you got 1:28:40.

A bit of trivia: Joanne Dru, who plays the "girl" in this picture was the aunt of a real Major League player. She was the sister of Peter Marshall, of the Hollywood Squares. Real family name was LaCock. Peter Marshall's son, Pete LaCock, played for the Chicago Cubs in the 1970's.

Back when baseball was America's sport. Growing up in Atlanta during the 60"s It was more fun to watch my pops listening to Dizzy call the Braves game. Brings a smile to my face.

[@allanmacmillan7823]

Milo Hamilton, Ernie Johnson and Larry Munson were the Braves' announcers when the team moved to Atlanta from Milwaukee. Ol' Diz and Peewee Reese did the CBS Game of the Week on television each Saturday brought to you by "Falstaff in the glass can" or "Carling Beer. Hey Mabel...Black Label!" Sorry to correct you Bubba, but Dizzy was never the Braves' announcer.

[@privatebubba8876]

@@allanmacmillan7823 Following his playing career, Dean became a well-known radio and television sportscaster, calling baseball for the Cardinals (1941-1946), Browns (1941-1948), Yankees (1950-1951), and Atlanta Braves (1966-1968)

[@allanmacmillan7823]

@@privatebubba8876 He may have filled in for Milo a couple of September weekends as Mr. Hamilton was still part of the Big 10 game of the week broadcasts and Munson, who had come from Nashville in '66 to begin his stint as the voice of UGA football, would have been in Athens. One of my closest friends growing up was Ernie Johnson, jr (who is the long time studio host for TNT) and I was classmates with Milo's son, Mark. My father was the general manager of WRNG radio in Atlanta. I'm what you would call "a credible source". I knew both Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Johnson quite well. "Big Ernie" as we called him was the Braves' Director of Broadcasting beginning in 1965 and came to Atlanta from Milwaukee. I'm reasonably certain that, if Dean ever worked as a Braves' broadcaster, you could count the number of games on one hand.

[@allanmacmillan7823]

@@privatebubba8876 Bubba...the Braves only appeared on TV (WSB) fewer than 20 times per season until Ted Turner bought the team in the 1970s. Ed Thelenious was the play-by-play man on TV the first couple of seasons. The ONLY way to follow the team was to listen on the radio. I'm not going to argue with you, but if you want to believe that Dizzy was the voice of the Braves...be my guest. Dale Murphy has been a guest analyst a couple of times in recent years and if you want to call Murph a Braves broadcaster, go ahead.

Too young to know much about Dizzie as a pitcher, but he and Pee Wee Reese were by far the best announcing team I ever heard on the CBS [Yankee] Game of the Week in the '50s and early '60s. They knew the game and made it fun to listen to.

This is a great movie about what a person can accomplish in life if they just apply themselves. Life is a learning process, even for the best of us, and here we're shown how this can work if you have the will. When one avenue of expression exhausts itself, find another. In fact, if you pursue many interests during your lifetime, you'll always have something to fall back on. There's always something you can excel at.

March 19, 2018 ~ I'm an old timer now. When Dan Dailey was making movies I wasn't thought of or just a little boy. // I remember when we got our 1st TV. It was a 10 incher and it was 1950! TV started at 6 pm. It was Howdy Dooty time and then time for the old movies. Of course this movie and all the the greats out of the 30s and 40s were on television. // Well Hollywood made some great tribulation movies back then and a lot had wonderful happy endings Hollywood style. // Cagney, Bogie and Gable may have been the tough guys but loved but all True Americans. // During WWII Hollywood stars went to war or helped the war effort. U never saw a Hollywood star Cheer for the enemy or mock the President of the USA as the bums do today. // The American dream is still possible today if we support President Trump in his efforts to make us Great Again. He needs our support. Vote out the swamp Rats that clutter up Washington.

[@willsnyder4328]

Oh, I suppose somebody will say, "Picky, picky," but there was one glaring baseball error in this otherwise wonderful baseball movie. When the Cardinals played the Tigers in Detroit in the 1934 World Series, the producers obviously erred because Game 7 was played in Navin Field, not Briggs Stadium. Navin Field was remodeled with the addition of 16K seats and renamed Briggs Stadium, but that was two years after the '34 Series. The shots of Dan Dailey pitching in the Series with the Detroit outfield bleachers in the background were what is known as "rear projection shots" taken in the 1950s by Fox at Briggs Stadium.

[@Haroldbeavis1969]

Well done!

[@Haroldbeavis1969]

Compare this “error” to “The Winning Team” in which they showed Pete Alexander winning the WS with a strikeout when actually the series ended when Babe Ruth was thrown out trying to steal second.

The gambling punks who rob Dizzy at table call him a “has been”. Well. A ‘has been’ is a million times better than the ‘never was’ & ‘never will be’ which is what inspires all uninspired people to hate & name call from the guts of empty (of all but dirt) souls.

[@mikegish5759]

Spot on Mark. Back then people thought you had to work or dissipate, but now we know about exercise, healthy diet (organic), and meditation. So, there's no excuse for not being a 'still is' anymore. Unfortunately, negative-naysayers are still in the majority, and most people just let themselves go, looking back on their youth as the high point in their lives. If you want to stay young, you have to work at it!

Both Brothers DIZZY & DAFFY Dean use to win about 30 Games each , Some great pitching back then.

[@aspenrebel]

Not quite. Dizzy won 30 games in one season only, 1934. Daffy won most 19 games in a season, twice. One of them being 1934. Thus, Dizzy and Daffy combined for 49 regular season wins in 1934, 4 more than the 45 they predicted. They also each won 2 games in World Series, for a total of 4 more wins. Despite all that, Dizzy only won WS once, in 1934.

Why not make sure that you are truly saved by Jesus Christ and practice this way. Remorsefully confess with your heart your sins to Jesus Christ who is God and tell Him that you right now are repenting of your sins and you want to be born again of the Spirit from above. Tell Jesus that you are remorsefully sorry for breaking His commandments and that you are begging for forgiveness from Him. Allow His blood from the cross to wash away your sins. After this is done with your heart successfully the Holy Spirit will come to live within you and He will rebuild you from the inside out. Look for signs that you are saved. Things like spreading the good news from Jesus, getting other people saved, a craving for the word of God, reading the Bible, etc… These things are known as a calling and fruit bearing. If you're not bearing fruit then keep doing it. Sometimes it takes time to get saved. Read Matthew chapter 13 from the King James Bible. God bless!!!!
