Football may be America's game now, but upon watching this, it's obvious it will never approach the appeal of baseball back in the day. It's transcendent.
Amazing footage and GREAT music. Very emotional. Curious, Who's warming up on the mound @ 2:30? Wearing tails and a top hat...that's not Max Pantkin is it?
i love the music you put to this. this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen I don't know why it's so captivating but it is seriously amazingly beautiful
@Synicaalescape the world series started in october. the war didn't start for the us til dec7 1941 some 2 years later. the only men fighting in wars today are volunteers. back then, you had no choice.. every able-bodied man was DRAFTED.the only guys who didn't go into the army during the war were physical wrecks. there was even a guy with one arm who played mlb during ww2. that's how thin the abled bodied men ranks were.
Amazing footage of an amazing time in history. We could all learn from this generation. Remember folks, sometimes all you have to do to make things a little better is take in a game at the 'ol ballpark. Any park will do-find your local little league park if need be. No longer focused on your own ill-fated dreams or problems, you could be cheering on the next Derek Jeter. Perhaps by lending your voice, YOU just made HIS day. Then all of the sudden, your day won't seem quite so bad:)
great footage. interesting music, made me look up when world war 2 started, the series started oct 4, 1939. nazi germany invaded poland sept 1, 1939. big changes a comin.
This is the second year in a row the Yankees won the World Series Championship by a sweep. Also the 5th World Series Championship sweep by the Yankees in 12 years. The other World Series Championship sweep years by the Yankees were 1927,1928,1932,and 1938.
@chargerfan64 It was just starting to arrive. In fact, the Wizard of Oz was filmed in 1939. There are some amazing home movies (in color) on youtube taken at the World's Fair in New York in 1939.
@chargerfan64 Color photography has been around as far as the 1870's. The first color movie, "La Vie et la passion de Jésus Christ", was in 1903. Kodak began selling Kodachrome film in 1935--by then, 149 motion pictures were made using one form or another color process.
Check these things out before you make such proclamations, my friend.
All the ladies were dressed up that's awesome! No self respecting lady back in those days would be caught with sweat pants on and tank top t-shirt! My mother was like that, she wouldn't even dare go to the super market without her face on as she use to put it!
No one in that audience or baseball field would realize that a brand new generation of baseball fans would still be watching them on computer screens...72 years later.
This is wonderful film. I noticed Al Shack, the baseball clown entertaining on the pitchers mound in tails prior to the game. I remember he was still doing that in the late 50's early 60's when I was a kid.
this is amazing! how beautiful, i shed a few tears im not gonna deny that, wow baseball will with stand the test of time. thankyou for uploading this !
Fantastic video ... put a lump in my throat. It's interesting that the starting pitchers used to warm up behind home plate then, instead of in the bullpen like today.
Im a Red Sox fan, but I love this video; made me travel through time; as much I do hate (in a sporting way) the Yankees, I do recognize the greatness of a team they are, passing and crushing all over the other teams in the WS as time went by. except for the 80's, every decade Yanks have been present in final games; thanks to RUMORINTOWN for uploading this great masterpiece.

@RUMORINTOWN If we could do that, there are 20 or more games and moments I'd go back to see. Including things like seeing Candy Cummings throw the first curveball. Or watching King Kelly play in the 1880's.
People talk about the Murderer's Row Yanks, the Mantle and Maris Yanks, the Big Red Machine, the Stengel Yanks, the Reggie Jackson A's, and the 90's Yankee dynasty as the greatest teams ever...this team is the greatest in history...the McCarthy Yanks won 4 straight WS (1936-1939) and would have won six in a row if Gehrig did not succumb to ALS
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING....I'm only 24 years old, but this footage, set to that gorgeous music gives me goosebumps every time. What track is that? And if you have anymore footage of anything from time period (doesn't have to be baseball), please post it!
Love the video and music together. The music has a ethereal surreal quality that conveys the message that you might be granted a glimpse of this wonderful long-ago world, where men long dead are young and playing ball again---but you can never go back there and possess it. It is gone forever.
@nick4285 That was Al Schacht, "the Clown Prince of Baseball," a former (briefly) major league pitcher who took to entertaining audiences as a baseball comedian (note the ridiculous tuxedo jacket he wears). That part of the footage is taken during warmups, and Schacht is no doubt doing a comedic impersonation of a pitcher being knocked down by a line drive.
Great stuff! Just mesmerizing! Wish I could have enjoyed a seat at a game in those days at that park. Just me, my top hat, a program, a bag of peanuts, and thoughts of Ruth and Gehrig.
Different time, My relatives how grew up in Great Depresion talk about Joe Dimaggio how great the Yankees where, Yankees had great teams. Joe Dimaggio, Lou Gehrig, Bill Dickey, Lefty Gomez, Tommy Henrich, some great palyers from 1930's and 1940's Yankee Teams.
The New York Yankees swept the Piitsburgh Pirates in 1927 by 4-0 and the St Louis Cardinals in 1928 by 4-0. The Chicago Cubs in 1932 by 4-0. The New York Yankees go on to sweeping back to back years again by sweeping the Chicago Cubs in 1938 by 4-0 and the Cincinnati Reds in 1939 by 4-0 for the last time. The New York Yankees would not have another World Series sweep for another 11 years after in 1950.
Wonderful footage, so rare to see video from 72 years ago in color, and in such nice condition. We see the old footage in black and white so much we almost think these people lived in black and white. The color really brings things to life.
I have to agree it was time before the big Money, and free agency. When palyers use to work there buts off. Run out hit. Players back then in my personal opion where better then today. Ted Williams how hit almost 400 for full season, Joe Dimaggio 56 hitting streak. Bob Fellar of Indians. That when Baseball was Baseball, every boy wanted be Baseball player, not this Soccor bullshit.
One of the great regrets have is that I never made it to Yankee Stadium. We actually drove in to go twice and something came upp each time that kept us from getting to the ball park.
the fans wrapped around the entire stadium just like the old Vet in Philly,it was a magical time to live unlike today to me,everything back then seemed so huge,new,fresh,exciting,cheap,safe at night.
if any of you have ever seen the movie octobr sky you know the great theme for the movie. watch the video clip above and turn the sound off, in another windwon open up youtube and listen to the october sky theme. as the movie plays. The song goes great and gives me goosebumps.
Look at the employees. They all had pristine uniforms. The fans were dressed better than I do at church. Put a tear to my eye that we have taken society back to the caveman days, but our computers and iphones tell us otherwise.
Wow. I could think of so many words to describe this video. Its like looking at ghosts at a by gone age but yet they seem so real. Not to take away anything that black and white offers. Beautiful. Favorited!
My father who was born and raised in the Bronx and is the reason I and my brother are Yankee fans (and football Giant fans) was born September 19, 1939. I am sending this to him for his review and enjoyment. Great find!
Great clip. It's a shame that the Yankee powers that be couldn't renovate the stadium to undo the tasteless '70's renovations, instead of building the huge new, overpriced monstrocity. This was the site where baseball history happened. Calling that split upper deck, segregated mall across the street Yankee Stadium is a farce.
@DontCancelThisAcctYT I kno dude... whether u like the yankees or not, they do represent baseball history... when u think of them, not only do u think of pinstripes, but u think of the great players who have donned that uniform...ruth, gherig, dimaggio, mantle, ford, berra,etc. - all of whom played at the original stadium... this new stadium, who cares? the original, pre-1973 Yankee Stadium, that is where baseball history happened and to have it replaced by this new one is an outrage
Haunting with the music and a chance to look back in color. Someday films from my era of the mid-60s on will seem just as magical (hopefully) for fans. Baseball rules !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RUMORINTOWN did you know that this yankee team outscored there opposition by more than 410 runs, your franchise is simply the best in the history of all sports and i'm a giants fan
Who condemned him? He was really just this ho hum guy that replaced Gehrig when Gehrig got sick.
One thing to note: In the Baseball Dynasties book Neyer and Epstein concluded by saying this 1939 Yankees team is the best ever. Not really sure I agree with that, since they may have been on an emotional "Win one for Gehrig" high that year, then came down to earth the next year.
