Great story Rawn, I'll bet there were fewer mosquitoes up your way at drive-ins than we had down here in Arkansas!
Sean there is a wonderful book by Rob Edelman that details many of the silent and sound baseball films, he is the defacto expert on this genre I believe.
Also Baseball Direct is still selling and maybe Amazon(?) a two dvd set of silent baseball films that does include several that feature or at least have deadball era players in them. It is really amazing to see these players moving around on film that you have collected on T & E cards, wouldn't it be soemthing to see them speak.
Of course Doak Ewing at Rare Sports Films has some great clips from the era I think alll the back to 1913?
