Default Ahh, Spring is in the air - Deadball era baseball footage
Posted By: Paul M

The fact that not only was it filmed , but that it survived is amazing ! There is also some footage on this site of the 1897 presidential inauguration and an 1897 fight between Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim Corbett ! This leads me to ask : is the 1905 footage of the '04 Giants celebration the earliest known baseball film ?

Also, does anyone know if there is any surviving film footage of Cy Young pitching (excluding old-timers games)?

Thanks,
Paul
