Baseball’s postseason is upon us — complete with some really incredible pitching this week. Around my house, America has at least two pastimes — baseball and old cowboy movies. Interestingly, there are a few crossovers (that I can think of off the top of my head).
Chuck Conners
Cub, Dodger, Rifleman, Cowboy in Africa.
Johnny Berardino
Indian (’48 World Series), Pirate, one of the Seven Men From Now.
Leroy Robert “Satchel” Paige
Too many teams to name, Union cavalryman in The Wonderful Country.
Gene Autry
Angels owner, Singing Cowboy. (Seen here with Warren Spahn.)
Reminds me of Sylvester J. Superman.
