James Earl Jones was quite a hitter in this flick, but what other movie(s) will you find him slugging the ball?
'The Great White Hope' - though he played the boxer Jack Johnson, he suited up as a hopefully anonymous Negro League player to evade police. He wasn't actually shown hitting a baseball in that roll, but if memory serves, he swung a bat in response to questions of how he would defend himself.
