What happens

The Kid from Left Field is a 1953 black-and-white baseball comedy film starring Dan Dailey, Anne Bancroft, Lloyd Bridges, and Billy Chapin. The film marked the reunion of Dailey and director Harmon Jones, who had teamed up at 20th Century Fox a year earlier in another baseball film, the biographical The Pride of St. Louis. The film was remade for television in 1979, starring Gary Coleman, Gary Collins and Robert Guillaume. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
