Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>This clip begins with Flag Day 1930... the footage depicts fanfare and players raising the 1929 National League Flag at Wrigley Field. Can you imagine Players today participating in such an event?<br /><br />Even better is the footage that follows... 1929 World Series at Wrigley Field (Game 1). At the 3:19 mark, Charlie Root is shown pitching to Max Bishop. <br /><br />Howard Ehmke set a record for strikeouts in this game, which stood for decades. Check out the awesome images... Ehmke was a submariner (rare back then?) who was very effective. Some other great images of Hack Wilson, Connie Mack, etc.<br /><br />Some high quality footage, considering its age. Be patient... this is worth the wait!<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/U63LW6wV3no&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/U63LW6wV3no&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
