Synopsis

Johnny Price, a minor league baseball pitcher and trick artist, is featured in this Pete Smith Specialty for his unusual talents. Among his abilities, Price can throw two—and, in some cases, three—baseballs simultaneously to different individuals. The catchers may stand side by side, one high and one low, or be positioned on the pitcher's mound and second base while Price throws from the catcher's position. He is also capable of performing these feats while suspended upside-down.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
