Yankees vs. Tigers August 4, 1956

8mm footage of my family in Detroit for a Yankees/Tigers game. The game was played at Briggs Stadium on 8/4/56. There is game footage as well as clips of Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra before the game. There is footage of Mickey hitting 2 homeruns. This footage is a family treasure. Enjoy.

A video that shows Detroit when it was a wonderful, great city. Sadly, we will never see that again. That is why we have to preserve these memories.

I was born this day also . I can see that many heroics were performed that day , but among the greatest were performed by my mother as i was nearly ten pounds at birth . It's nice to know that Kaline had such a great day as he would later become my childhood favorite player . Super video !

Mickey Mantle had the best home run trot in history. Never showing up the other team. Total class.
