Johnny Vander Meer: The Typical American Boy footage?
Before he became a minor league ballplayer, 19-year-old Johnny VanderMeer played the role of "the typical American boy" in a 1933 documentary movie short (Movie Tone) about a sandlot player getting his first major tryout.
It was titled "A Typical American Boy" and filmed in a studio in Miami where Johnny tried out for the Brooklyn Dodger franchise.
I've tried MovieTone, Pathe, everywhere and can't find it.
It would be amazing to locate this. Any suggestions?
