SUMMER-FALL 1947: On weekends in Los Angeles, Sinatra led a softball team, the Swooners, in games against other celebrity teams at locations such as Gilmore Field (now home to CBS Television City). He played second base in a lineup that included manager Hank Sanicola, actors Anthony Quinn and Barry Sullivan and songwriters Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne. They even had their own cheerleaders: Virginia Mayo, Marilyn Maxwell, Shelley Winters and Ava Gardner. Sinatra Family Archive. Photographer Unknown
