I might be in the minority. I think those Reds uniforms are fire.

I love the fact that the announcer didn't keep rambling about something just to hear himself talk like these guys today.

That Reds uni design was one of the best ever.

Thanks for the great video if this game. Things sure have changed. No appealing every checked swing, no throwing out every ball that touches the dirt, no 100 pitch limits, fast paced with shorter commercial breaks between innings, and as someone else mentioned here, no constant chatter from the announcers. Baseball was very watchable back then.

Wow! Lloyd Petit and Jack Brickhouse. Petit was also the long-time play-by-play man for the Blackhawks in the 60’s and 70’s. “Shot and a GOAL!”

I was 9 years old, sitting in the 1st base grandstand with my dad and brother for this game. Great memories.

I loved this! The starting pitchers go nine plus innings, there's no clock on the pitchers,no clock on the batters, no ghost runners on second base in an extra innings game. Also no one goes on the injured list from running the bases, throwing a baseball, or hitting one.

The video and audio quality is awesome. I’m a baseball history nut. Seeing this footage to me is just like being a little kid on Christmas morning!

I like how the camera lingers on the same angle for long periods of time instead of constantly ping pinging between different angles

Loved the Hamms commercials with the bear, and the canoe. Also Brickhouse yelling "hey, hey," when a Cub hit a home run. From the land of sky blue waters, Hamms Beer. As Ernie would say "it's a beautiful day, let's play two!"

My mother's fiftieth birthday. I was 18. Really takes me back. Lifelong Reds fan.

amazing the stark contrast between how the players all hustle on every play as opposed to todays games even maloney hustling down the line

As a diehard Reds fan, I thank you for posting this! Monumental moment in Cincinnati history. I love seeing Frank Robinson in a Reds uniform!

This is such a great video. WGN shot this game with just 4 cameras and it still looks great. No replays, no animated graphics, and no scorebug. Just shoot the scoreboard occasionally for those people watching in a bar somewhere. Bars were some of the earliest customers to purchase color tv sets. Very few people had them in their homes yet.

Great baseball broadcast, really brings back the memories, I love watching and listening to these great games

I can’t get over how crisp the audio sounds on this. Outstanding quality. Listen to all those kids in attendance! They’re really into the game too. MLB could sure use some of that today.

Love watching old baseball games.. I love the old baggy uni's and the big wind-up by the pitchers with their pitch to the plate.. great game.

A weekend summer day as a kid, helping my dad paint the garage, or wash the car in the alley, or washing window and screens, Jack Brickhouse, Lloyd Pettit, or Lou Boudreau voice on the transistor radio, announcing the game in a not too fast, steady metered pace, everything seemed right in the world during those hours.

The Beatles played at Comiskey Park across town the next day.

Thanks so much; long-form WGN video of a '60s Cubs game. Incredible! If only we had these from 1969 games. I'd be in heaven.

I was at that game! My brother and two friends were in the bleachers. Wonderful post, thanks!

The movement on Maloney's fastball was incredible. It's no wonder he walked so many in that game. 180+ pitches too.

This is so much faster than today, it's remarkable. On the other hand, it's wild how the game looks very much the same otherwise. Baseball is timeless.

Wrigley Field still looking as good as ever 58 years later! Go Cubs.

Fun fact: As you can see, the Reds caps are two-toned with a red bill and light colored crown. Their home caps crowns were white with red pinstripes matching their home uniforms. Their road caps were light gray without pinstripes matching their road uniforms!

As a kid in the 60s, watching the Cubs at Wrigley, there were so many such disappointments. Yet the cerebral pace, the character of baseball when it wasn’t so commercial as it is today, was golden.

This is baseball I grew up listening to on the radio and watching occasionally. Announcing is amazing! Watched this entire video. Thank you.

Thanks for posting, really fun to watch. Five years later, Tommy Harper would be the first ever all-star game representative for the Milwaukee Brewers. Used as a pinch runner in the game, tried to steal & was thrown out by Johnny Bench. Funny the things we remember.

I stopped watching MLB years ago but sure love these old broadcasts because I love baseball. No interest in modern day players and the way they play today.

I was watching this at home on our black-and-white TV. I was 12 years old.

The ground level camera view of the pitchers and batters is excellent. It's too bad they don't use it today.

The great Jack Brickhouse! Called games for the Cubs, White Sox , Bulls , and Bears! No wonder he's in the HOF as a broadcaster! 🎙

I love the camera angle at 1:36. Behind and slightly to the left of home plate instead of directly behind the catcher. You can see more of the field, and the view isn't blocked by the catcher/hitter/umpire/pitcher. . Maloney was still around by the time I started watching baseball, around 1969-70, but he was shot by then. I think he was still on the roster when they won the pennant in 1970, but he wasn't pitching much even though he was still young, because his arm went bad. The Reds had a lot of pitchers in those days who were really good young, but all ended up with sore arms. I'm thinking of Maloney, Don Gullett, Gary Nolan, Wayne Simpson, Milt Wilcox and even Wayne Granger, their relief ace. Even Jim Merritt, who they picked up from Minnesota had one good year and his arm was ruined. I remember seeing Wayne Simpson as a rookie and never saw a more impressive young pitcher, but his career was basically over after half a season. From what both Nolan and Simpson have said, it was no coincidence all these guys had shortened careers (not Wilcox, but he had to change his style to compensate for lost speed, then he lasted a long time as a junk baller). Simpson and Nolan, as VERY young pitchers, were worked a lot and if they complained their arms were sore, they were told to "suck it up" or were called babies. So they kept sending them out until their careers were ruined. The great Reds teams of the 70s were weak in one department-they never had a Seaver/Palmer/Gibson type ace to anchor their pitching staff. They could have had one in Maloney or Simpson or Nolan or Gullett if they had used even basic common sense in using them and treating their ailments. As good as they were, they could have been even better with their already deadly line up and a pitching staff like the Orioles or Mets had. But love the Reds uniforms from this time. The name under the number seems like a gimmick, but it actually does make them easier to read. I remember Tommy Harper with the Brewers in the early 70s and he was really good. The Cincinnati organization was producing one great player after another in those days. Too bad they didn't know how to manage their pitchers or they could have won 5 or 6 World Series instead of two.

love those reds uniforms what classics

Haven't seen many games this old "in living color." Good stuff.

Classic baseball- pure and simple

The Reds are wearing No. 20 patches on their uniforms in 2019. RIP, Frank. 24:26

That same season, Koufax tossed a perfect game vs Chicago. The losing pitcher was Bob Hendley, and he gave 1 hit. The only other base runner reached on an error, and the run was unearned. Two base runners in the game.

The Cubs should make that uniform an alternate sunday home uniform

These were the Reds of my youth, best offense in baseball. The outfield could play offense and defense, Harper, Pinson, Robinson were a tight unit. Reds nearly won the NL in 64. Dodgers had too much great.pitching in 65 and 66 for Reds to beat them. HoFers on the field: Rose, Robinson, Santo, Williams, and Banks. Perez did not play as Deron Johnson had his best season at 3rd with over 100 RBI. I loved the Reds uniforms, the helmet color was gray white.

I did some research, and it was 3 weeks later that Sandy Koufax had a perfect game against the Cubs in LA. So 1965 saw the last Wrigley no hitter by an opposing pitcher and the last time the Cubs were no hit until Cole Hamels accomplished both on July 25th 2015.

Jim Maloney with the rare pitching triple double. 10 IP, 12 K's and 10 BB's.

I see the Reds had two youngsters on the bench who had great careers Tony Perez Lee May

Gotta love the Reds white batting helmets! Notice the players who didn't wear a batting helmet? Billy Williams is playing right field! He was in left field shortly after.

The Wrigley Field of my childhood

Trivia: The 9th inning pinch hitter for the Cubs, Jimmy Stewart, would become a key role player for the pennant-winning Reds in 1970.

Amazing. I was 9 months old.

maybe because it's a really old game but I'm riveted to every pitch!

Larry Jackson and Jim Maloney: a couple of good-hitting pitchers.

Jim Maloney was one of the forgotten power pitchers of the decade of the 1960's. He won 134 games with a .615 winning percentage and a 3.19 ERA. He threw 30 shutouts and struck out more than 200 batters four times, with a high of 265. He tended to walk a lot of batters, however. In his career he pitched a nine inning no hitter, a ten inning no hitter, and lost another no hitter in the eleventh.

a young pete rose at the plate with no batting helmet. I love it

I love how commentator narrates the game and provides statistics and not all the other superficial stuff commentators do nowadays.

Great copy of this classic game and Lloyd Pettit sounds so much different then he did doing Blackhawk games for years

The Cubs had Fergie Jenkins as a reliever but obviously that didn’t last long. Jenkins went on to have a stellar career at one point amassing 6 straight 20 or more win seasons

The wind was definitely blowing in that day.

The National league played a different type of game from the American League. Every game was "get on base" conscious and used speed, sacrifice bunts & fly balls, and singles to score. It was perfect for Pete Rose.

Fun! I remember all these guys, and I remember reading about this game.

Remarkably, 6 of the Reds and 3 of the Cubs players in this game are *still alive* as of June 2023. *REDS LINEUP:* #17 *Tommy Harper (LF) - 82 years old* #14 *Pete Rose (2B) - 82* #28 Vada Pinson (CF) - died in 1995 at the age of 57 #20 Frank Robinson (RF) - died 2019 @ 83 #18 Gordy Coleman (1B) - died 1994 @ 59 .....#25 *Marty Keough (1B) - 89* #11 Deron Johnson (3B) - died 1992 @ 53 #6 *Johnny Edwards (C) - 84* #16 *Leo Cardenas (SS) - 84* #46 *Jim Maloney (P) - 83* *CUBS LINEUP:* #20 Don Landrum (CF) - died 2003 @ 66 #27 *Doug Clemens (LF) - 84* #26 *Billy Williams (RF) - 85* #14 Ernie Banks (1B) - died 2015 @ 83 #10 Ron Santo (3B) - died 2010 @ 70 #6 Ed Bailey (C) - died 2007 @ 75 #18 Glenn Beckert (2B) - died 2020 @ 79 #11 *Don Kessinger (SS) - 80* .....#19 Jimmy Stewart (PH-SS) - died 2012 @ 73 #46 Larry Jackson (P) - died 1990 @ 59

and on this same date 4 years later ken holtzman threw a no hitter at wrigley

That 1965 Reds team was one mean lean hitting machine.

I watched this game on a B&W TV, just about five weeks before my 14th birthday. I hope you can restrain your excitement!

Maloney was done at 30 due to a ruptured achilles. If he could have stayed healthy it's a good chance he would have been in the Hall of Fame.

The most amazing thing to me in this game, besides Maloney, was the Cubs sending the pitcher up to bat in the bottom of the ninth, with two out and two on. Talk about balls of steel. Both managers would be fired after the game today.

Sam "tooth pick" Jones.What a classic baseball name. Cracks me up.

Thank you for posting. May Jesus bless you.

186 Pitches. LOL. Can you imagine that today with the limp arms in MLB

What I miss are the occasional updates announcers gave on action around the majors. So-and-so homered in another game. Now they run a bunch of scores across the screen.

Amazing how high the mound was pre 1969.

I saw that game on TV while visiting in Chicago.

Larry Jackson helluva pitcher…. Imagine him with Dodgers or Orioles back in those years

Frank Robinson's batting stance was different before he came to the Orioles the next year. It became more upright with the bat away from his body more.

I'm at a loss as to why "Jim Maloney" and "No-hitter" do not appear in the title of this video. If you wanted views, why omit those crucial details? All the same, thank you for posting this. And thank you for leaving the commercials in! 28:33 Now I know what the line "when the Hamm's bear says it's closin' time, you won't have far to crawl" is alluding to in the David Frizzell song "I'm Gonna Hire a Wino". Makes sense now.

Maloney had a great heater.

This is how baseball games should be announced. Today's announcers might tell you who is at bat or they might not.

Pete Rose does not yet have his signature batting stance, deep crouch with bat on his shoulder.

First time I've seen the Cincinnati Reds jerseys with the names below the numbers. I didn't follow baseball back then.

21 days later, Koufax would throw a perfect game against the Cubs as well. Four years to the day after this game, Ken Holtzman no hit the Braves at Wrigley. I was at that one.

Maloney was a beast in his day, his fastball was clocked at 99.

My previous comment was 5 years after the 1984 game i was watching before this. Late 80s early 90s.

Up until this point the Cubs had only surrendered four no hitters against them. This would make five. A month later, the Cubs would suffer their sixth when Sandy Koufax of the Dodgers pitched a perfect game against them. After that, the Cubs would not fall victim to a no hitter for 50 years, when Cole Hamels of the Phillies no hit them at Wrigley Field, breaking a streak of 7920 games without being no hit .

Wasn't Jim Maloney one of the most feared pitchers to go up against? Right up there with Bob Gibson and Don Drysdale? He walked 10 batters and hit another in this 10 inning no-hitter. He seemed to have control problems. That could've been part of the reason. Great video from the glory days of MLB. Thanks for posting.

Cubs Larry Jackson averaged 14 wins a year for 14 seasons. Teams would kill to have that kind of consistency these days.

Time Travel 1965.

In 1965 Reds/Cubs on WGN Television 9 Jim Mahloey's No-hitter

When I was in Little League, I pitched just like Jim Maloney. I would walk the bases loaded and then strike out three in a row! 😂

Wow Pete Rose was just a kid!!!

how sweet you can actually hear little kids having fun instead of piped in fake crowd noise that started around 20 years ago

Good game to watch on a random day

Wow almost 60 years ago and Wrigley Field is still there today. Not many other teams can say that about their home fields... what, the Red Sox maybe.

45:56 a young Pete Rose and Tony Perez greeting Cardenas after the HR.

The fireball pitcher upset that he was out busting his tail in the top of the tenth inning.these days they come out after 70 pitches

That pitch count was insane.

Looks like the pitcher is on top of a mountain, mound lowered after ‘68.😳⚾️

Good old Channel 9.

There was a better one about 5 years later. Harry thinks he's still on break when he remarks to Arty. " omg would you look at the size of...Hello again this is Harry Carey back with you Wrigley Field...". I laughed my ass off seeing it live. I miss Harry, Steve, Tom and Arty...good times

This was on WGN-TV Channel 9 Reds pitcher Jim Malhoey No-Hit the Cubs. Till the Phillies Cole Hamels broke that streak of a visiting pitcher No-Hitter at Wrigley Field was seen on WLS-TV Channel 7 and NBC Sports Philadelphia.

I believe Pinson and Robby were teammates in high school. (McClymonds?) What are the odds?

Was balk rule different in 65?? Maloney never comes to a stop with runners on base. Just curious. Great to see the game being played the way i recall it from my youth.

Pete Rose…SLIDING into third?…now THAT’S CLASSIC BASEBALL

Runners didn’t get a timeout every time they slid
