The Stratton Story...…True life story of Monty Stratton (Chi Whi Sox, 1934 - 1938), portrayed by Jimmy Stewart.
Jimmy Stewart, after his outstanding WWII service (Army Air Force....retired as a Brigadier General), was quite disappointed with the way his acting
career was going (1946 - 1948).
Jimmy returned to his hometown in Indiana, Pennsylvania, where he worked with his Dad at their hardware store. In 1949, he received a phone call
from MGM requesting him to play the leading role in this movie. The Stratton Story was a huge success at the Box Office, grossing $4.5 Million.
Jimmy Stewart returned to Hollywood...and, the rest is history.
