I picked up a baseball adjacent movie theater card. One of the movies listed is The Pinch Hitter, an early baseball movie from 1917. I also bought a copy of the movie and received both the card and the movie the same day. The copy of the movie also had the 1919 movie The Busher another early baseball movie. Both movies namedrop Ty Cobb as an insult to one of the players, and The Pinch Hitter namedrops Christy Mathewson to describe how good the pitcher is.
