Baseball in the Movies
I thought it might be interesting to see what collectors have pertaining to baseball in the movies. From what I've read, the first movie about baseball was a documentary in 1898 "The Ball Game", with next movie being in the early 1900's. Ty Cobb was actually in a movie in 1917 entitled "Somewhere in Georgia" - go figure. I have an early lobby card from the 1919 movie "The Busher", pictured in this listing.
Does anyone have early movie pictures, lobby cards, or memorabilia from movies that featured baseball? What about Babe Ruth's movies? I bet some movie items exist, although they rarely come up for auction. If so, please share for all to see!
