A video of MLB during the 40's and 50's.....quite a contrast to today's Major Leaguers. Nostalgic............

Thanks for sharing - loved it!

Great video. Good times before it was all about the money.

If you haven't seen the three-part series, "When It Was A Game," watch it now. Its an amazing color look at baseball just before and after WWII. I'll take it any day over Sleepy Ken Burns' low-energy and long-winded version of baseball history.

We can all debate the good old days and when exactly they were, but I daresay that I never remember a period in my life where MLB had more incredible exciting talent. Trout. Betts. Acuna. Soto. Tatis Jr. Harper. DeGrom (not as young). Amazing how exciting baseball has been in the last month. For the first time in years I find myself watching random games, because it seems like every team has one of these must see players. Dodgers Padres was like a world series in its intensity.

And for a dying sport MLB.com has been pulling the great ratings.

Agreed thanks for sharing.

Amazing the times when they took subway’s to the ball park and had winter jobs.

Very interesting commentary also

No one wants to debate it.

I no longer watch baseball for that very reason. It's a team sport and the world series winner would be the team that played as a cohesive unit. Weren't a lot of whiny prima donas back then (and as recently as the 90s).
