Default Day 29

Remember in the way back days, during rain delays, when they would play the old World Series films? I loved those! It was like watching your old baseball cards move. I hadn't seen a lot of those guys play in the sixties, and by the time I did, they were at the tail end of their careers. That's where I got to see Clemente, Mantle, Aaron as a kid, and more. But I remember watching the 1959 World Series film, and seeing the AL Smith beer shower, and just thinking it was awesome! Here's the famous pic, and below that, you can see the video, at the 7:50 point in the film. Poor Al. Evidently, the man that spilled it was asked to be on "I've Got a Secret," but didn't want the attention. Enjoy...and have a great day!
