Fullplot:

The movie is about Chicago White Sox pitcher Monty Stratton (Jimmy Stewart), who in the 1930s, compiled a 37-19 won-loss record in three seasons. After he became the winningest right-hander in the American League, his major league career ended prematurely when a hunting accident in 1938 forced doctors to amputate his right leg. With a wooden leg and his wife Ethel's (June Allyson) help, Stratton made a successful minor league comeback in 1946, continuing to pitch in minor leagues throughout the rest of the 1940s and into the 1950s.

Comments:

Ipsam quos magnam ipsum odio aspernatur voluptas nihil nesciunt. Deserunt magni corporis aperiam. Delectus blanditiis eius molestiae modi velit illo veritatis.
