The Busher (1919)
My Rating
Movie Info
As might be guessed by the title, The Busher is a baseball film. Charles Ray plays Ben Harding, a country greenhorn who is the hired hand of Deacon Nasby (Otto Hoffman) and pitcher for the local team. A group of major league players and their manager get stuck in town when railroad trouble causes a layover, and they discover Ben's talents. They send him a telegram, asking him to join the team, and his girl, Mazie Palmer (Colleen Moore) bids him a tearful farewell. But success goes to Ben's head

Delightful comedy about baseball and small town life.
A fascinating look at early baseball films and an un-perfected spin on something that has since gone on to be repeated countless times since.
