Default Vintage Cards in the Movies

Posted By: Butch & Co.

By the way, since we're including other baseball memorabilia, in addition to cards, featured in movies and TV, does anyone have a DVD titled "Reel Baseball: 1899-1926"? There's an 18-minute excerpt on it from a 1917 five-reel silent titled One Touch of Nature, which incidentally also features John McGraw (as himself). The clip includes a sequence in which a character is having updates of a crucial ballgame relayed to him by telephone -- and is prominently keeping track of the results on the gameboard from either Major League Base Ball Game or Major League Indoor Base Ball by the Philadelphia Game Mfg. Co.
