In 1937, he signed with the Washington Redskins and became a star there. Interestingly, he played minor league baseball for the St. Louis Cardinals the next year, but he remained with the Redskins. In 1941, he was signed by Republic Pictures to star in this movie, where he was billed as "The Football Sensation".

Important Added Info: Note that the still shows a great candid image of Sammy Baugh, Pauline Moore, and Duncan Renaldo on the set (it says that Pauline Moore is putting makeup on Sammy, and that he has trouble getting used to having makeup put on!). Also note that there is a paper snipe glued on the back of the still that describes the scene on the front (it does not affect the front of the still). There is a stamp on the back of the still (from the studio that distributed it). Condition: good to very good. There are smudges and discoloration in the top 2" of the still and in the upper part of the left blank border, but they are truthfully not very distracting. Otherwise, the still is in pretty good condition! Learn More about condition grades
