You're most welcome, Jeff, and thank you for the kind words.
The members of Net54 and of our own Forum have over the years provided us much more information and assistance than we've ever provided in turn!


Actually, the whole movie-stars-playing-ball thing got us sufficiently curious to do a little more digging, and we found these for starters:

> several mentions here of the "Comedians vs Leading Men annual charity game," including a 1939 installment,
mostly about six to twelve scrolls down at this page:

-- excellent little resource overall, in fact, for images and citations of baseball-meets-Hollywood...

> scroll down about two dozen clicks for a mention here of a "second annual" motion-picture game in 1937:
