I've seen this footage on clearer video, so I could see the ball bouncing along the freeway. But it frustrates me here that I can't see the ball due to a fuzzy video. But with a clear video you can see the cars pass by as the ball bounces between them.
@huskyjerk it's so unfortunate that television networks & stations chose to tape over or destroy all the great 50s, 60s and 70s games. Back then, it just "cost too much" to store them, so they were tossed.
@zandor1956 According to Wikipedia, Reds broadcasters for 1967 included Ed Kennedy, Jim McIntyre, Frank McCormick, and Claude Sullivan. I'm not a Cincinnati guy, so someone who is familiar with the Reds might have better insight as to who did radio and who worked on TV. In many cities the broadcast team did double-duty.

Go to mlbcom and type in top 10 moonshots. Jimmy Wynn clearing the center field fence at old Forbes field is #4.

Jim Wynn was quite a player for the Houston Astros. He made the All-Star team a couple of times.

It's too bad that no one has footage of Jim Maloney's game against the Mets there in 65.
