1970s MLB game Footage
 
Is there anywhere they have archived of all MLB games from the 70s? is MLB archives only possible location if at all?

There are some games on You Tube. I find hidden nuggets all the time.

It's my understanding that MLB games we not saved in their entirety
until the mid to late 1970s. My recommendation to you would be to
check out Doak Ewing's website http://www.raresportsfilms.com/otherbball.html
He's got probably the best and oldest collection of vintage baseball footage
out there. I think the oldest game in its entirety from his collection is
from 1969. He's a reputable guy who've I've dealt with on many occasions.

If you're talking about recordings of televised games from the 1970s, only a handful of regular season games survive from that decade, though I think most if not all of the World Series games survive, and just about all of the World Series games. Most of those that do survive are on YouTube; the MLBClassics channel (which I believe is officially sanctioned by MLB) has a good assortment of World Series and playoff games plus some other interesting games, like Tom Seaver's no-hitter and the Yankees-Red Sox one-game playoff, both from 1978. The channel's home page is here, and you can search within it by clicking on the little magnifying glass to the right of "About":

You can also look at their playlists, which groups the videos by categories (World Series, no-hitters and perfect games, etc.):

ClassicMLB11 is another YouTube channel with a lot of games from the 70s, including more regular-season games than MLBClassics:

You can search that channel the same way. I just searched within the channel for "1978", and the only regular-season game I could find from that year is a poor-quality VCR copy of the April 15, 1978 Game of the Week between the Phillies and Cardinals:

They do have most of the playoff and World Series games, and shorter clips of a few other games from the decade, plus radio broadcasts of a few others. I'm pretty sure that's just about all that survives.

Doak Ewing is the best for the few games that have survived. A really fun DVD that came our about two years ago is the first year of This Week in Baseball with Mel Allen.

That show was so much fun, I still think MLB messed up when they stopped it three years ago.

How bout that!
