And, staging a baseball game between two teams of actors was a good method of raising money for charity. Actors such as Ed Wynn,Kay Kyser,Danny Kaye, Joe E. Brown and Danny Thomas were foremost sports fans, had played the game at the semi-pro or professional level, and were involved in some kind of ownership of sports teams at various times in their careers. The game in this short was for charity and featured the Andy Russell Sprouts against the Frank Sinatra Swooners. Jack Carson and Hal "The Great Gildersleeve" Peary served as umpires in the game, with Mickey Rooney, John Garfield, Keenan Wynn, Peter Lawford, Danny Kaye, Danny Thomas, Jackie Cooper and others as a member of one of the teams.
