This was taken from the Ken Burns "History of Baseball" tapes and I found it on youtube. Just thought some of you would like to see it again. Theres also alot more little clips of other ball players from different users on youtube taken History of Baseball. A board member probably posted it orginally, but here it is again :

Also, I don't agree with the 1 comment on this. I think there is more footage of Matty other than what was shown on the history of baseball.

I looked at the Christy footage; then I looked at the Walter Johnson clip. Is it just me, or was Walter's right arm longer than his left. I've never seen a buggy whip like that!

...in the Ken Burns documentary than what is in that clip. For example, I recall a clip of the World Champion Giants wearing their World Champion jerseys and walking across the field. I am fairy sure you can see Matty in that clip...
