shareFrom Bang the Drum Slowly: The late Bobby Murcer, my baseball idol as a kid, sliding into second and home plate in the footage used in the "montage" sequence at the old Yankee Stadium. An oddity: The fictional team depicted is obviously the Yankees, but they play at Shea Stadium! In addition, Michael Moriarty's character was intended to reflect a Tom Seaver-like pitcher. This movie had a definite split personality. Finally, this film was made before the Yankees moved to Shea Stadium for two years in the mid seventies--during the time the old Yankee Stadium was being gutted and renovated.
