My grand dad, Elmer Williams (b: 1898), grew up in Olinda, and played ball on the same local fields Walter Johnson played on ten years earlier. On my wall I have a mid-1920s photo of my grand dad with his team the Olinda Oil Wells. His team photo includes: Isbell and Callan - both of whom played in the Johnson/Ruth exhibition game of 1924. I still wonder if Elmer was one of Johnson's team mates that day. Thx, Elmer, for the pitching lessons. AND thx, chrisepting, for this video.

Cool. I live close to Brea and I did not know this had happened. That explains why there is a Babe Ruth statue near Birch and Brea Blvd. Its kind of hidden around some homes. The statue is called Home Run Kings.

Great video! Rube Ellis was actually my great grandfather. Can't believe I found him on You Tube!

I'm sorry to say that the video is incorrect as to the location of the field where the game was played. It was located just southwest(down the hill) from the corner of Brea Blvd. and Lambert. As for the "shed" (a tin bldg, used originally by an oil tool co.), it is still there on Brea Blvd. just north of the railroad tracks and is currently occupied by Ron and Wayne's Auto Repair. There is much more to the story. See DVD "Brea: Our Town and Our Times" available at Brea Museum and Heritage Ctr.
