Angels in the Outfield

Favorite film of Dwight D. Eisenhower when President.

During the climactic final game vs. New York, several players are shown with multiple uniform numbers on their backs at different times in the game. This is likely due to the use of actual game footage spliced into the film. Various players are shown with two, three, or even four different numbers. Hellman, the Pirates pitcher, has both #17 and #26. Similarly, the Giants pitcher is shown with #28 and #31. Two New York batters have three different numbers during the courses of their at-bats. One has #18, #2x (not visible) and #9, while the other has #x2 (not visible), #15 and #36. The New York catcher is actually shown with four different numbers - #10 (on the scoreboard), #5, #7 and #36.
