Casting Can Be Weird.

The other day I stumbled upon the movie Big Leaguer starring Edwin G. Robinsons as a baseball coach, and I couldn't stop watching because of it's Whatthefuck?edness (TM Xmatime 2012). If you think Robinson made no sense in Biblical epics, try him in a baseball spring training movie that looks like it was made in an afternoon for a classroom film. Yes, when I think of baseball managers in the 1950s I think of 4 foot-tall Romanian Jews. Unbelievable - everything Bill Crystal says about him here goes triple for this flick.
