A few years back, I wrote about Jim Maloney no-hitting the Chicago Cubs in 1965. He had quite a few gems from that year. The gem against Chicago has made it's way to everybody's favourite video sharing site.
Sadly, it's only the tenth (And last) inning, where the Cincinnati Reds win it and Maloney gets the last out. Still, it feels very historic and good to watch.
What to look out for:
Colour (Big plus, as video taping in colour back then was rare. While many games were broadcast in colour, few were preserved in colour)
Interesting camera angles. Remember, they didn't have all the angles covered, back then!
Reds had numbers on the back of their uniforms. Cubs don't. How do you root for the home team when you don't know who's who on your team?
Some vintage 1960s commercials. How many can you remember if you were alive back then?
A very young Pete Rose (#14 for the Reds)
The last out, or should I saw two outs. A nice double play. I won't spoil who it is.
Larry Jackson, who is the losing pitcher in this game, does not walk a batter, while Maloney walks ten. I thought walks are supposed to kill you!
They let the starters go, go, go back then. That's probably the biggest change in baseball when comparing then to now. Pitching counts weren't really used. Although, thanks to the uploader, you see how many they used to throw back then? Were their arms dangling off by the end of the game? Unreal!
