Angels in the Outfield (MGM)
 

Posted By: <b>jamie</b><p>I know the original 1951 film featured a few ballplayers (and even Bing Crosby). Can anyone identify the fellas pictured here? I know the fella in the Pirates uniform is the star Paul Douglas. Is that Kiner in the background.<br /><img src="http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g28/wassermj/misc/angelsoutfield.jpg">

Seems most of the ballplayers were played by actors although Ralph Kiner is listed as an (uncredited) actor. Also of note are a cameo appearance by Ty Cobb and the Beav's mom Barbara Billingsley as a hat-check girl.
