OT: Home movie footage of the 1938 Pittsburgh Pirates in color!
 

Home movie footage of the 1938 Pittsburgh Pirates in color! This might be the only video in color to show Honus Wagner who was a coach on the '38 team.

This was posted on a Facebook group I follow, the Facebook link is here:

If you do not have Facebook, this is the link to the video itself, I think it will work in any browser.

Some of that footage — the smiling player who appears to be drinking something — is in the three CD set, "Baseball When It Was A Game," which I like far more than the Ken Burns baseball series. I highly recommend it to anyone. I'm still trying to figure who that Pirate is — my best guess so far is Johnny Rizzo.

Sorry, I only did a quick search for photos of Johnny Rizzo, but if we're talking about the guy drinking from that weird cup thing and jawing at the camera, there's no way that's him. Right off the bat (pun intended), that player's ears are totally different and he doesn't have a cleft chin like Rizzo, among many other things.
