8mm video clips and photos from a Milwaukee Braves summers day. Memories from a Best Day Ever to a 9 yr old boy. Hanging with the Braves, Willie Mays at Batting practice, getting autographs on my glove. Thanks Mr. Bob Allen!

  • is that joe torre's brother @ 2:05?

  • That is Joe . He was their catcher, #15.

  • The batters in the footage near the end were Hank Aaron (ground out) and Eddie Mathews (basehit). I am thankful my dad took this footage. Now it is preserved digitally. I hope more people do this with their memories...gotta be lots of them out there!

  • @metalkrush77 -- no, that's Joe his own self. I think Bob Uecker was with St. Louis by this time.

  • @flibideegibbit -- and Joe Torre and Phil Niekro was probably there, and Eddie Mathews, and Warren Spahn . . . . 6 Hall of Famer's, and probably several more.

  • you got to be at a game with Henry Aaron and Willie Mays . . . . how lucky you were. :-)

  • You posted this twice, I see. Looks like you got more time with Willie Mays than Mrs Mays. Lucky you !!!

  • What a great video! Those images of Milwaukee County Stadium brought back a rush of great memories for me, too, as I grew up with the Braves in the 50s and 60s. There are Milwaukee Braves fans all over the country as we learned when compiling our new book, "FOR MILWAUKEE BRAVES FANS ONLY!" Book comes out this November.

  • @Kanjilearner Because fans weren't going as much after the team stopped contending for championships, and partially because - I have heard, at least - that the stadium stopped allowing fans to BYOB. The new owners saw HUGE opportunities for profits in Atlanta, a new stadium, and a (FINALLY) more racially integrated city than pre-MLK Atlanta was, that players like Hank Aaron would be willing to go to. Still, I can't stand that they moved.

  • @marquettefootball

    So WHY OH WHY did they up and leave for Atlanta?!

  • Incredible...the ONLY team in baseball history never to have a losing season.
