Hey Batter, Batter! Vintage Baseball Films

Hot on the heels of Opening Day, come and see baseball manifested in
vintage television commercials, cartoons, and short films in these
two wonderful programs presented by renowned film archivist Dennis
Nyback.

Fri, Apr 7, 7:30 pm
A program of vintage shorts. Highlights include news footage
featuring the "shot heard ´round the world" as Bobby Thomson won the
1951 pennant for the New York Giants; a 1959 spring training report;
Joe DiMaggio and Pete Rose stumping for Snickers and Vitalis; donkey
baseball and much, much more.

Sat, Apr 8, 7:30 pm
A rare screening of The Glory of their Times from 1977, based on the
acclaimed book of the same name by Lawrence Ritter. Nyback considers
this the best documentary on baseball ever made, and it remains
unavailable on video. Ken Burns borrowed quite a bit of it for his
(inferior) baseball film. Preceded by surprise shorts.
