Here’s a tremendous find that the Library of Congress recently recovered. Found in the garage of an estate, eight cans of nitrate film were discovered to be in near-perfect condition. The contents of the film? Nearly forty minutes of Game 7 of the 1924 World Series, in which the Washington Senators defeated the New York Giants 4-3 in twelve innings.

It’s pretty great 🙂 An incredible find for baseball history.
who needs a calendar? When nuggets like this pop up, I know it’s winter and time to store up and be a squirrel.
This time of year, I usually feel the same way. This season has been pretty refreshing.
