the sad feeling you get when you realize everyone in the video is now dead

it's like seeing something live from the past, in color no less. Seeing Dimaggio gives me chills, the familiar #5. At around 2:30, is that Max Patkin clown prince of baseball or someone like that mocking the pitcher?!! LOL Simply astounding. bdog

this is really a special movie to me. the music is absolutely perfect. so eery, like a set of moving pictures, trapped, frozen in time. the color makes it so real and when you see Dimaggio at about 3.00 that's really cool. makes you realize how real history really is. you do indeed get an amazing indescribable feeling of sadness watching this, knowing that one day your life and moments will be moving pictures trapped, frozen in time. this is what these types of movies should bring out of us.

Also, and you didn't mention this specifically, but the Yankees swept the Cubs twice, in 1932 and '38. Apparently they wanted to beat the Cubs a little more, since Joe McCarthy, who managed the Yankees in both of those series, had taken the Cubs there in 1929, but was fired after the 1930 season, so the Yankees seemed to want a little revenge on the Cubs in behalf of their manager. The Yankees have swept the World Series a total of eight times over the years, most recently in 1999.
