A WHOLE NEW BALL GAME FOR CHILD ACTOR
David Pollock in Bad News Bears
Former child actor David Pollock (50), who played one of the little league player’s,
Rudi Stein in the 1976 comedy film “Bad News Bears”, is taking a swing at politics

was on the board for 15 years. David has said that he is “proud of getting away
from Hollywood while the getting was good”.
