The Bush Leaguer

The Bush Leaguer presents the story of "Specs" White, who is more invested in his gas pump invention than playing baseball. Despite being the top pitcher for the local team, he accepts a contract with the Los Angeles Angels. His motivation is not the game but the funding for his invention. However, Specs struggles with a secret fear of large crowds, complicating his new opportunity.

The film features a cast including Monte Blue, Clyde Cook, Leila Hyams, and others, contributing to its comedic narrative. As Specs navigates his dual interests in baseball and invention, misunderstandings arise, particularly involving Alice Hobbs, the owner of the Angels. This lost film captures the comedic spirit of the late 1920s, showcasing the humor found in personal fears and ambitions.
