Default Ahh, Spring is in the air - Deadball era baseball footage
Posted By: barrysloate

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.

Okay, jokes aside, it was interesting to see how relaxed Buck Weaver looked, as well as Ed Cicotte right before throwing the first pitch in the series. And what was going through his mind at that moment?

And to see Matty pitching, and Cobb and Wagner chatting it up at the 1909 series...amazing.
