The Glory Of Their Times

Another post in here got me to looking on the IMDB for Sam Crawford and I noticed that the Ritter book "The Glory Of Their Times" was made into a documentary in 1977. Anyone know how to get a hold of that film or if it is even available?

Check eBay for a copy of a VHS. I couldn't find my old copy and it was easier to bid and get another for around $10 then to search hell & creation to see where mine was hiding. While searching for the VHS on eBay, I even picked up the record album from 1966, it has a neat photo of Rube Marquard warming up in 1908.

I checked ebay before posting here and couldn't find one in completed auctions or current so I didn't know if it was even available. Thanks for confirming that it is.

A record too? Cool.

Thanks
Dan

I have the record if you are interested in one, I could loan it to you for the cost of postage and you could return it after making a copy if you want. It is actually an autographed copy of the record, but the lady at the thrift store I bought it from scribbled over the Ritter signature and dedication with black crayon because she thought it was worthless writing. Go figure.

Thanks Rhys, but I'll be looking for a copy for my collection. Someone just emailed me and told me that the CD is available at Amazon.

I have the cassettes. What is interesting is the mixed feelings the players have for Cobb as a person. However, they ALL had this feeling of awe when they spoke of him. Really cool.

I have them in my iPod and I listen to them on long car rides or plane flights.

I recently picked up an audio CD of the 1939 Hall of Fame induction ceremony. You can hear all the old timers' acceptance speeches. Pretty phenomenal...
