Hey Rob- thanks for that, it was spectacular. Everybody on the board should take ten minutes to watch it. I especially enjoyed the footage of the 1919 World Series...the White Sox didn't look like they were playing that hard. |

Thanks for the link ... that was great! Now who is that third base coach busting the dance move at 0:50? Could it be Hughie Jennings? |

Wow. I've seen some parts of those clips before, but much of it is new to me. I agree with everyone else. And as a lifelong Pirates fan, I particularly liked the footage from the 1909 series. Since they are filming at Forbes, I going to guess that they are showing us the first game of the series. On that day, the Bucs hit one home run. And since you can see some fans cheering in the foreground it was probably a Pirate dinger. If that is it, then we see Fred Clarke rounding the bases and right hand hitting Honus Wagner stepping up to bat next. Never thought I'd get a chance to see something like that. Thanks for pointing that out. |

The 4 Cubs visible in the 1:07-1:11 sequence in Philly are L to R Chance shaking hands with Davis, Sheckard, ?, Schulte. |

1904 World Champions NYG's!?!.. Ahh, I think not. McGraw couldn't stand to watch his NL take another drubbing by the AL. |

It was great watching that, it would be fun to just step through the screen and see what it was really like. It was really cool to see Chief Bender pitching, I grew up about 30 miles from where he did. |

That was fantastic. My 4 year old daughter sat on my lap the entire clip asking me questions and pointing out things she knew like catching the ball, running to home plate.. she a pretty sharp kid. When I saw Joe Jackson, I said 'hey, there is Shoeless Joe Jackson'! my oldest son is named Jackson so my daughter says, 'I want to see Shoeless Joe Julianna!'. I am still laughing.

Thank you for passing along the link to a great oldtime baseball video. Cobb, Wagner, Jackson, Jennings, Matty, Baker and quite a few other identifiable Deadball Era players came to life once again. It was a time so long ago! |

The fact that not only was it filmed , but that it survived is amazing ! There is also some footage on this site of the 1897 presidential inauguration and an 1897 fight between Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim Corbett ! This leads me to ask : is the 1905 footage of the '04 Giants celebration the earliest known baseball film ? |
