1929 World Series Philadelphia A's vs. Chicago Cubs
Home movie footage of 1930 Flag Day followed by the 1929 World Series played between the Philadelphia Athletics and the Chicago Cubs. The World Series ...
Connie Mack's 1929-31 Philadelphia A's teams never get the credit they
deserve, but they rank with the greatest teams of all time. The'29 A;s
pitching and hitting equal the 27 yuckees and surpass them in several
categories
+Steve Swangler "Yuckees" lol, good luck in high school. I agree though that the 1929-31 A's are underrated, if not for Pepper Martin's basepath rampage in 1931 they'd have won 3 straight. And unlike the 1910-1914 teams that Mack broke up for reasons that will always be debated, I think he really would have liked to keep the 1929-31 team together. But the Depression made that impossible.
Look how awesome it must've been to sit front and center to watch those
games back then. You're right on the grass, with nothing but a chain link
fence or nothing at all between you and the action. And you don't feel
like you're in some high up pod or booth, disconnected from the game. It's
like you could be a friend or family of the team, right there on the grass
with 'em.
