Mickey Mantle Sitting on Directors Chair

(Original Caption) All-Stars on the baseball field, Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle are "Going Hollywood" by starring in a movie made at the New York Yankees' spring training camp in Florida. The homer-hitting sluggers are joined by the Yankees in the film "Safe at Home and appear to have taken to moving pictures like they take to fast-ball pitchers. With lights, cameras, and sound equipment turning the diamond into a sound stage, the baseball stars seem to be having a ball playing themselves. The movie deals with a little leaguer who fibs to his friends about knowing Mantle and Maris personally. So there are many parts for children, and the ballplayers' kids are getting into the act too. These United Press International photos, by staffer Ron Kuntz, show how the baseball sluggers are trying to make a hit in the movies.
