Released – October, 1951 

Directed By - Clarence Brown

Starring – Paul Douglas (Aloysius X. ‘Guffy’ McGovern), Janet Leigh (Jennifer Paige), Keenan Wynn (Fred Bayles).

Description – In last place again the Pittsburgh Pirates abusive and foul-mouth manager Guffy McGovern is taking a beating in the press as well. It seems as though only some form of divine intervention can help a team this bad.

Well, guess what? There seems to be an ex-ballplaying angel who is willing to make a deal with the manager. If Guffy will change his habits of swearing and fighting, the angel just might be able to help. Just when it looked as though the Pirates feet were permanently rooted in last place cement the ‘spirits’ of past Pirate greats begin to help the team turn their fortunes around.

It was due to the prayers of orphan Pirate fan Bridgit White that prompted the angelic visit to Guffy and just might get the Pirates win the pennant.

Enjoy this little fantasy charmer with the whole family.

NOTABLE: Look for cameo’s by Bing Crosby (who just happened to own 15% of the Pirates at the time), along with Joe DiMaggio, Ty Cobb, and Ralph Kiner.
