I saw one with the director Phil Alden Robinson who said Liotta told him he’d learn to swing lefthanded, at least good enough to get some shots, but Robinson said, “nah, this whole thing is centered around a ghost, so no one really cares about how he hits”.

Was it *61 when they had everything reversed - uniforms, lettering, advertising boards, everything - so that the actors could hit right-handed and they could then flip the film and make it look like they were lefties?
It was definitely done for one of the baseball movies of that era.

Just Googled it. It was *61, but it wasn’t the hitters. It was for Anthony Michael Hall portraying Whitey Ford.
This was famously done for Gary Cooper portraying Gehrig in Pride of the Yankees.

They were huge in the 70s. I was just talking about them with a group of friends at dinner last week. I think we decided on Hummingbird was the dinner crowds favorite song by Seals and Crofts. Or maybe it was Diamond Girl. A few bottles of wine had been consumed.

The were from Sidney and Cisco, Texas, and Baha’i. Their radio songs could have veered into Bread territory, or America, but never seemed to. They were always surprisingly sophisticated.
I’m partial to summer breeze.
