I was at the game. I was nine. My dad worked in the ticket office at Griffith Stadium. The Cincinnati fans had stuffed the ballot box (fans chose the starting lineups) and the Redlegs (as they were called for a brief time) were way over represented at the game. Years later, I too worked for the Senators and was at their last game in 1971. They became the Texas Rangers the following season. Memories!

when I was a kid in the 50"s I lived on the same street as Johnny Antonelli, we played baseball right in front of his house, but since we were all Yankees fans we didn't think it was such a big deal.

I do love that we have these amazing reels! Back we it was all for the love of the game! Sadly nearly every super star ball player here are gone now! I wasn’t even born until 1965, but heard of all these men! This is precious! Thank you so much for making this available on KZfaq!!! Long live BASEBALL and the United States!

Holy crap, a 21 minute video and it is 10 1/2 minutes (including a commercial that wasn't edited out) before the actual 1st ptich.

Fine video. If memory serves, this is the game that was marred by foolish Cincinnati Reds fans who stuffed the ballot boxes so five (5!) Reds were in the starting line-up for the NL. That's why Mays, Campanella and probably several other NL stars did not start?

Think Griffith Stadium was the place where Mantle slugged one of the longest homers of all time, it actually was rolling in a parking lot before it came to a stop. At least that's what I remember on the back of a Topps Mantle baseball card. On the roll it went close to 565 feet? Do not remember the year of this Topps Mantle card but presume when I was collecting cards heavily around 1961, 2, 3.

Huge Mantle fan here. The distance at the point it was believed to have landed was estimated at 565 feet. I have a Topps card that uses an arrow to show the path of that ball out of Griffith Stadium. Perhaps that's the card you remember.

As usual, my favorite Cardinal as a kid, Ken Boyer, didn't get the highlights he should have in this film. They "barely" showed one of his great plays at third. He actually made TWO diving stops and another LEAPING catch of a hot line drive. There are photos of his "diving" plays which were great, and a shot of his leaping catch as well. . .But they never seem to surface in stories about this game. I've seen the "still" photos, but I was hoping to actually see him make those three great plays in this film. But, like I said, they "barely" showed one of them, and it was after he had made the diving stop and gotten to his feet to make the throw to first. Disappointing.

did Whitey Ford EVER get Willie Mays out???? I don't think he did.

@1950Grendel 11 ай бұрын

Mantle tells a story about Ford loading the ball during an ASG and getting Willie. But he had to cheat to do it.

Inter league play ruined the All Star game

@tomgriffith1057 2 ай бұрын

free agency was the first evil long before that, but if they interleagued at the time of this film, totally agree and that would have done it in. All star game lingered as a competitive game thanks to residual league pride guys like Rose but once they were gone...
