Default OT: Baseball film from the deadball era
A paragraph from a book I was reading stated that film companies bought rights to show film of World Series as early as 1908, and that by 1910 the price had escalated substantially. It also mentions that Mugsy McGraw hired the Mutual Film Company to film his playees as a training tool as early as 1914.

Does anyone know if any footage from these early World Series have survived? The Giants training films would be something special to see as well.

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about these.
