Does anybody know how rare this film might be? My grandfather shot it in 1960 when he went to the game. There is video only, no audio. It is of the winning HR and the run around the bases, then everybody jumping at home plate (from what I recall- I need to watch it again).
That game has not been shown in over 40 yrs. It is going to be played at a threate in Pittsburgh next month for the first time after the playoff's. You have a gem. You should contact the Pirates organization and see if they want to play it at this event. It's supposed to be a pretty big deal.
Here's the video

Wow very cool.
That was easily the greatest World Series of all time bar none!!! A true David vs Goliath and to have vintage footage of it has got to be something you will treasure forever. Thanks for sharing even though there is no voice it is still it's cool to see the hats flying and the fans cheering.:applaudit:

The telecast of Game 7 of the 1960 World Series will air on MLB Network on Dec. 15.
The telecast will be interspersed with new interviews by Bob Costas with Bill Mazeroski and other members of the 1960 team, similar to how MLB Network aired Don Larsen's perfect game from the 1956 World Series with interviews with Larsen and Yogi Berra in January 2009.
The interviews will be taped at a venue in Pittsburgh on Nov. 13, where the game will be shown.
Information on the location and ticket availability will be announced later

I sent the Pirates an e-mail and let them know about the video on You Tube. I live in Florida, so I am not going to make the event in person.
Keep us posted.. I'd love to know if they reply...Quote:
