Product Information
A terminal illness is the catalyst in this drama of two baseball teammates--a sharp pitcher and a slow catcher who form an unlikely friendship and struggle with triumphs and tragedies. In an early role, Paul Newman co-stars alongside Clu Galager and George Peppard. This television production from the iconic United States Steel Hour predates the famous Robert De Niro theatrical version by nearly two decades--it was broadcast live in 1956, the same year the source novel by author Mark Harris was published.Product Identifiers
