The Wolves baseball team gets steamed when they find they've been inherited by one K.C. Higgins, a suspected "fathead" who intends to take an active interest in running the team. But K.C. turns outs to be a beautiful woman who really knows her baseball. Second baseman Dennis Ryan promptly falls in love. But his playboy roommate Eddie O'Brien has his own notions about how to treat the new lady owner and some unsavory gamblers have their own ideas about how to handle Eddie.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
A lazy Technicolored cinemusical aimed squarely and accurately at the summer box office.

fresh:
The plot is typical fluff -- Kelly and Sinatra join Esther Williams's baseball team at the turn of the century -- but the production values are, as always, worth the price of admission.

What matters is the stylish ebullience, and the excellent score by Roger Edens, Adolph Green and Betty Comden.

It must be said, too, that Mr. Kelly and his side-kick do right nicely by a brisk thing called "Yes, Indeedy," as well as the title song.

fresh:
There is no pretense that Ball Game is anything more than a romp for Kelly's virtuosity.
