Production

Although the home team is "St. Louis", and both St. Louis major league teams (the Cardinals and the Browns) played at Sportsman's Park at the time, most of the baseball action scenes were filmed in Los Angeles' Wrigley Field. They were supplemented by stock footage of Chicago's Wrigley Field and New York's Yankee Stadium.

Alan Hale, Jr., has a small role as a catcher on the college baseball team.

A novelization of the film was written by Valentine Davies.
