Errol Flynn at Home — Ready to Swing

07 Dec

Errol with the Stars & Angels

Scroll down to the fifth clip, from the WPA Film Library, titled “Celebs at PCL Baseball Game”.

See Errol “playing baseball”, looking better at the plate than DiMaggio.*

Despite Errol’s best efforts and magnificent batting stance, this is just not cricket.

* Joltin’ Joe’s wife once wowed the crowd at this very same venue, long gone Gilmore Field,along with one of EF’s best friends, the great Mickey Rooney.

** It’s a close call, but Chuck Connors may have been in the pre-game show and playing for the Angels at this event with Errol, before he himself became a Hollywood star of the cinematic type, though not nearly as incandescent as either Errol or Marilyn.

I fear Errol was a player, but no baller, Gentleman Timber. Even though he surrounded himself with very capable baseball players like Big Boy Guinn.

Interesting in the clip to see Pat Wymore sitting next to Virginia Mayo in the stands enjoying the antics on the field!
