Newly Found Footage of 1924 World Series Game 7 (Senators and Giants)

Late this summer, the Library of Congress came into possession of eight cans of nitrate film, one of which included newsreel footage of the Washington Senators' 4-3, 12-inning walk-off Game 7 victory over the New York Giants - nearly perfectly preserved after almost nine decades.

Wow. That is really cool. The condition of the film is amazing.

Dudes slid head first into first base even back then. It must be an innate human compulsion.

That had struck me as well, and I got amused at how some might react to that.

Don't. Dive. Into. First Base!!!!!

Run through the bag!

Very cool. Nice crisp footage. Love stuff like that.

People we waving towels/handkerchiefs even back then. You can see people on the field after the game doing it.

Very sidearm. Whips it in there. I remember Cal Sr. pitching BP with a similar delivery. Walter's is one of my favorites I've ever seen.
