Item Description
22x28" poster for original 1949 Republic sports drama film starring George Brent, Lynn Bari and Russ Tamblyn. Film tells the story of a troubled teenage fan being helped by his favorite baseball team - the Cleveland Indians. The Indians had just won the 1948 World Series and many of the team's players made appearances along w/owner Bill Veeck, co-owner and former MLB star Hank Greenberg, and then current coach and Baseball Hall Of Famer Tris Speaker. Also featured were the team's then current/former ballparks, Cleveland Municipal Stadium and League Park. Several Cleveland Indians and Boston Braves players also appear in the film in archive baseball footage segments from the 1948 World Series, including - Lou Boudreau, Bob Feller, Satchel Paige, Larry Doby, Early Wynn, Bob Lemon and Mickey Vernon. Poster has been folded into quarters and rolled and as such shows wear w/scattered small tears at margins, four up to 1". A 1.5" tear at upper right margin has brown paper tape repair on reverse and upper right corner has .5" piece missing. VG overall, but retains a bright and clean image area and would display well if matted and framed.
