Before The Three Stooges, there was... baseball training montage chaos??
Acting
Moe Howard's pre-Stooge origin story, somehow.
Production
Actual baseball legend Honus Wagner, slumming it in comedy shorts.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was filmed during Wagner's actual playing career with the Pittsburgh Pirates — he was 45 and still active. Studio execs apparently thought 'aging shortstop + future eye-gouger = comedy gold.'
Most prints are lost; this survives as a fragment of early American slapstick's weird obsession with mixing celebrities and physical abuse.
