IT HAPPENS EVERY SPRING (1949)

Professor Simpson (Miland) loves baseball!  His distraction for the game leads him to accidentally discovering a wood repellant formula that makes a baseball go whacky!  He knows his physical clock is ticking and takes a chance on entering the big leagues.  He needs the money so he can take care of his charming girlfriend (Peters). Ducking and dodging the press, former school, and his gal; he creates a mystical character by the name of King Kelly to play ball while he takes leave from his school.  NO WAY WILL I RUIN THE ENDING ...REST ASSURE.... 
One of the best family baseball movies of all-time! A must watch!
