It was produced for television years ago but recently offered by raresportsfilms. If you are at all interested in early baseball video, this is the source. btw, I have no connection with the above company, other than I have bought a few videos from them.

+1 on the video, made by famous Olympic documentarian Bud Greenspan in 1970. It features wonderful period (1900-1920) photos and film clips, not just of baseball but of famous events of the time such as the sinking of the Titanic. The voices are all of real people, including ballplayers from Ritter's taped interviews, and is narrated by the "Voice of God" himself, Alexander Scourby. It it an absolutely wonderful piece of work, of the same high standard of quality as the book and audio set.
