OT slightly....Pre-War Baseball Silent Movies
 

Posted By: <b>Jerry</b><p>Since I won this Glass slide of a 1914 Silent Movie starring Home Run Baker, I was wondering how many more baseball silent Movies were made and ran across this website lising them. There was more than I Imagined. Wonder how many survive. Anyway, I just thought it was interesting. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.silentera.com/PSFL/indexes/baseballFilms.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.silentera.com/PSFL/indexes/baseballFilms.html</a><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1155917493.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Chad</b><p>In the biography of Jack Johnson, Unforgivable Blackness, here's a footnote that describes a film made of Jack Johnson sparring as well as footage of the Chicago American Giants with Rube Foster and Pete Hill, the Detroit Stars with Bruce Petway and the old KC Monarchs featuring Sam Crawford. If it still existed, it would be the only live footage of the early negro league teams. To quote a popular summer movie, "arrrghghghghgghghghghghgh!".<br /><br />--Chad

Posted By: <b>David Davis</b><p>I have one reel from an episode of Play Ball - 1925 version. The website with the link indicates it is presumed lost. Thanks for the info. Film could be worth some bucks.
