New material includes an entry on 1978's Goodbye, Franklin High and revisions to several entries after the uncut versions of several silent and pre-1950 talkie baseball films were made available, among them Hit and Run (1924), The Battling Orioles (1924), and Slide, Kelly, Slide (1927).".

Two additional sections cover baseball short subjects and baseball in non-baseball films, and there is an extensive bibliography."--BOOK JACKET.
