luckybestwash There is the previous game (game 6) on KZread, which is also excellent (except for two issues with the sound.) kzread.info/dash/bejne/m4JmuNqjfbDdlpc.html It is also possible to purchase videos of pre-1965 World series games (1955-1960); some of these are complete and others are partial. Game 7 of the 1960 World series is complete and the quality is good. Don Larsen's perfect game from the 1956 World Series is complete except for the beginning; the DVD includes sound only in place of the missing video segment; the original kinescope was missing the first reel. I read that when a collector purchased this treasure the owner of the shop said that someone had purchased an old camera that may have contained the missing reel. The picture quality of the 1956 perfect game is not quite as good as the 1952 and 1960 games. You can search Google to find the few other games available (1955-1957 World Series games.) If you purchase any of these DVD's, please let us know about the picture quality. I would purchase them all if I knew the quality was good. Previously, a game from the 1957 World Series was available on KZread, but it was taken down due to a copyright violation (the picture quality was just fair to poor, but the quality of the DVD may be considerably better and worth purchasing.)

Most families didn't even own a TV then, not most middle-class at least, let alone big screen TVs. Most listened on radio. Must've been exciting getting your first TV back then.

This is one of the thousands of reasons why baseball means so much to so many of us. I am sitting here almost 42 years old in San Diego watching a game in black and white. Baseball reminds me of my dad throwing and playing catch with me after a long 8-10 hour workday. My mother who could tell it was Tony Gwynn talking just by the sound of his voice and crackle of his laugh of his. The smell and sounds of the game played still brings a smile to my face and goosebumps to my skin. Man oh man that’s why I love sports so much, you can forget about the struggles and sadness of the world for two hours or more a day. I still pretend that my pops is sitting next to me when I go watch a padres game at petco park. I was lucky enough to be a season ticket holder for the first time this year, and can proudly say I will be god willing til I pass away and go watch them play at the field of dreams in the sky.

No batting gloves. Dead 50's era balls that weren't juiced. Hot, baggy, flannel uniforms. No batting helmets. Fielders glovex that were more mitts than gloves. No finely manicured turf. No pitch counts or relievers coming in and getting one out. Yet, these guys played the game in grand, Hall of Fame fashion. Baseball at it's purest

@@georgecaplice "how hard people throw nowadays".... As opposed to what? How hard do you think they were throwing in the 30s? Do you think they were lobbing it in there? The human body hasn't changed much (at all) in the last 100 years. Bones, muscles, ligaments all connect and operate the same way. Players could and DID throw just as hard then as they do now. If you're worried about radar gun readings, here's and excerpt from the following article (www.google.com/amp/s/www.baseballamerica.com/stories/the-measure-of-a-fastball-has-changed-over-the-years/%3famphtml) "So when you read of 85-90 mph fastballs from the early 1980s, realize that they would be registering much faster with current measurement tech. An 85 mph fastball (if registered by a Speedgun at the plate) would be roughly 93 mph if measured by Statcast out of the pitcher’s hand. And that makes the 100 mph pitches Nolan Ryan threw in 1974 (as measured by Rockwell laser/radar instruments relatively close to the plate) even more remarkable today." Pitchers have always thrown hard. They just used more off speed pitches than they do now. That's why there was a lot of bunting "back in the day" - it was hard to get a big hickory log around on a 92mph heater, so you bunted instead.

The old Yankee Stadium, pre-1973, sat about 63,000 and Cleveland Municipal Stadium sat almost 80,000, but the trend ever since Camden Yards has been to construct smaller parks to generate scarcity and promote season ticket sales.

A friend of my family, Bruce Kison, got the win for the Pirates in the first World Series night game.

It’s striking to see the difference between how baseball was played in 1952 versus how it is played today, almost 70 years later. Not much has changed on the field, but it’s notable how the fans are dressed like gentlemen, and how the music came from an organ, while most stadiums nowadays have built-in sound systems to play music from. I don’t think one is necessarily better than the other, but I would love to witness a 1950s-style baseball game to see for myself how my grandparents and great grandparents enjoyed baseball. Reading the comments while watching this, I’m seeing people of all ages, ranging from teenagers such as myself to people were around to see this game live, come together to appreciate what I believe is one of the greatest videos on the internet. It’s truly a wonderful sight.

Mickey Mantle before he tore up his legs with his blazing speed. 3.The "big cat" Johnny Mize. 4. Pee Wee Reese, Phil Rizzuto and Billy Martin 5. Roy Campanella, Gil Hodges, and Duke Snyder. 6. The behind the plate view of a baseball game 7. And the game of baseball as it was before all the changes which occurred in the decade of the 60's. The uniforms, the scoreboard, the old ballpark, the raised mound, and the local sandlot look of the field. 8. Not to mention that it was a time when Baseball was the national pastime and boxing, golf, and horse racing were the other major professional sports. Of course, TV was just an infant.

when i was in little league, I was an undersized kid and terrible at batting, but I could run faster than everyone else. One time I laid a bunt and made it to 1st base before anyone fielding could throw me out. I think everyone was shocked. No one encouraged it though, I wish they had, I probably would have been more successful at the plate

The game had a flow better then today...The batters stayed in the box, no primping no constant redressing batting gloves, no spitting, no grabbing crotch...Most batters swinging at first pitch..The game was simpler pitch catch hit running out foul balls respect of the game and players...

When commentator says “this serious will go down as one of the greatest of all time” ... chilling

Time capsule. I was born in 62. Loving this game.

I was birthed in 1952. This is a delight.

No batting helmets, just baseball. Pretty sweet being able to watch Jackie Robinson play, thank you! And though this game took place a couple decades before I was born, it's nice to watch a World Series game, let alone a game 7, without it being monopolized by advertisements. A refreshing way to watch a baseball game. Who would've thought?

He died in 1966. Of the players, most lived long enough to not die young. The 2 notable exceptions were Gil Hodges (47) and Jackie Robinson (53), both of whom passed away in 1972. Hodges died just before the start of the season. Robinson died 2 days after Game 7 of the A's-Reds World Series.

With DVR's, it's possible to start the games at any time you want and not have anyone worry about missing the game. Sure that would mean fast forwarding through commercials but those breaks are too long these days anyways. Also, there's a lot more jobs that people work at odd hours these days and those who work a traditional 9-5 office probably have the ability to stream the game on their cell phone. TV ad revenue might go down but I doubt the total number of people watching the game will. Start the games when the home team would like to, so maybe at 3pm local time.
