The movie is called "Fear Strikes Out."

Thats not the only one. There were some real loonies back in the day. At one point in time baseball was the equal to wrestling entertainment of today. Managers would do anything to find a draw that would fill the stands. Midgets, freaks, muscle bound dee-de-dee's who could slap a baseball farther than Streinbrenners payroll. I remember one guy, think it was Boston, if a fire truck went by they had to hold the guy down. Hearing the siren he would try to chase down the truck.
