If anyone wants to see the worst baseball movie of all time, it's 'Reunion 108'. I was at a bar in Chelsea in 2012 with my now wife and there was a production crew shooting something in the basement. They asked me to be a 'featured' extra in a scene because someone had no-showed.

Harold Lloyd's Mad Wednesday featured him driving Babe Ruth up to Yankee Stadium in a taxi. He was so excited that he couldn't keep his eye on the road. The Babe was sure he was going to die, but they made it. Babe's acting was amazing. Then he invited Harold in to watch the game anyway.

@Alan6°: recently attended a film screening of M. Ritchie’s “Smile” (1975) - a last minute substitute film for the malfunctioning 1st choice. the audience was both aghast & delighted at how utterly “inappropriate” most of it plays now. A warmup for his next = Bad News Bears. Etc.
