| ~Plot Synopsis~ |
Directed by Fred C. Newmeyer, Warming Up is an early baseball film starring Richard Dix and Jean
Arthur. Bert Tulliver (Richard Dix), the star pitcher of a small-town baseball team, gets a chance to try
out for the Green Sox and immediately arouses the animosity of McRae (Philo McCullough), the
league's home-run king. Bert falls in love with Mary Post (Jean Arthur), the daughter of the club's
owner, and further angers McRae, who considers Mary to be his girl. McRae is hired by another major
league team and does not meet Bert again until the World Series, when they are on opposing teams.
In the first game, Bert, who has come to believe that McRae has the jinx on him, walks McRae and is
pulled from the game. In the final and deciding game of the series, Bert must face McRae again and,
bolstered by Mary's love, he strikes him out, winning the series for the Green Sox and assuring
himself of Mary's love.
