Rare Baseball Films: The Newsreels
We've reached the dog days of the baseball season and the pennant races are heating up! What better way to celebrate our national pastime than with a selection of vintage newsreels that bring baseball's rich history to life? Members $10 Public $15 Reception
The movies have been around almost as long as professional baseball, leaving us with a wonderful visual history of our national pastime. With the generous cooperation of the UCLA Film & Television Archive, we are presenting a program from the archive's Hearst Metrotone News Collection, organized by David Filipi of the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus. The program includes Stan Musial's 3000th hit (at Wrigley Field), a Hollywood charity game with Buster Keaton and Jack Benny, Babe Ruth's first day with the Boston Braves, Sandy Koufax's retirement press conference, Jackie Robinson relaxing at home with his family, and much more! (app. 120 mins., video) Special thanks to Todd Wiener and Steven Hill of the UCLA Film & Television Archive for their assistance with this program.
