Fortunate that you got to see all that, as they say, when baseball truly was the national pastime.
Unfortunate that folks like me can only read about it, watch what little actually exists of old game telecasts, and collect cards in a weak effort to somehow recapture that era.

There's a Net54 member in the Chicago area who is a great source of many videos of classic MLB and NFL games. Doak Ewing can be reached at......

Over the years, I have acquired quite a number of BB and FB videos from Doak. One of my favorites is the NY Jets vs Baltimore Colts, Sept 24, 1972. I was at that game in Baltimore.
It was an amazing football game. Joe Namath completed 15 passes for
496 yards (6 TDs)....Johnny Unitas 26 passes for
376 yards....Jets 44 Colts 34.
Sometimes, seeing a film of an event after you experienced it live many years before can be almost as enjoyable.
