Here is some riveting mid-60s footage from a classic Reds-Cubs matchup. A great opportunity to see Banks, Williams, Santo, Frank Robinson, Vada Pinson and Pete Rose (all in their primes). And oh, those gorgeous Reds' Unis!

Just thought this clip would appeal to lots of us here... especially Cubs + Reds collectors and of course Chris G and Scott G.
Jim Maloney was such an underrated pitcher. In 1965, he threw
two 10 inning no-hitters that went for losses, one of which happened against Mets just prior to this game. This was Maloney's first of two official no-hitters (which actually counted in the books).
I was in attendance for Maloney's second no hitter at Crosley Field. Amazingly, his second no-no was countered the very next night by the Astros' Don Wilson who returned the favor.
Hope you find this great footage to be enjoyable!
