Rest in peace, Willie Mays.
Amen
Lost Orlando Cepeda this week as well. All the greats of the 50s/60s are leaving us.
For several years, my 8th grade science teacher was in possession of Willie's mit with which he fielded the famed "catch" - it's now on loan to Cooperstown. My teacher was Craig Liddle, son of Don Liddle, who was on the mound when Willie made the catch.
@@michaelallen1154 Wow that’s pretty cool. Has to be a pretty valuable piece of leather.
I love the comment by Hank Aaron on Sandy Koufax. "He was truly magnificent". Here's one of the game's greatest calling Koufax magnificent. He only pitched up to the 1966 yet was named the pitcher of the decade in the decade of the pitcher. That quote always get me.
It’s hard to express how great Koufax was. His early career was inconsistent and he was forced into retirement by arm issues. Yet, for five or six years he was almost unhittable. Willie Mays said he just couldn’t see the ball. That sums it up.
Yeah great ones like Aaron recognize fellow greatness
I remember a number of years ago when Hank Aaron wrote an article in some forgotten publication, it opened my eyes to the racial abuse he and other black ball players experienced during their careers. Mr. Aaron revealed a deep bitterness toward whites for this treatment and it cut me my soul. I had been middle class little league playing, southern white kid and he and Eddie Matthews were the stars for Milwaukee and they were my idols along with Mikey Mantle. Mr. Aaron's hurt disturbed me so much I wrote to him and told him with tears in my eyes how he had been my hero during those long-ago innocent times. I mailed the letter and forgot about it, but later, to my surprise I received a reply. He explained the cause of his hurt and then sincerely thanked me for my letter and even though we never met it made me feel as though we had somehow connected. I'll never forget that exchange and though his reply has gotten misplaced I have the memory and it will never become misplaced.
You'll never see a bunch of first-class gentlemen that knew how to play the game fair and the right way. All deserving of the hall of fame and to be never be surpassed in their overall talents and skills.
Willie mays the personification of the joy of playing sport .....What a Man !
I was so lucky to see almost all the great NL players in person. In the early 60's our Little League team went to Connie Mack to see the Giants and Willie Mays. We were down the right field line. I remember all of us calling his name. He came over and said a few words to us. Wow! 62 years ago.
That's amazing.
You were LUCKY kids for sure
11 Jerry Lumpy's for every Willie Mays. Priceless. This is the best of the documentaries by far.
I loved this documentary and watched it when it first aired. Just a beautiful snapshot of America during those glorious times
Excellent footage, much of it absolutely breathtaking.
Without Baseball, life would be a mistake.
Note: I also uploaded Part 1 and 2 so look for those in the description.
The decade baseball lost it's innocence..
As baseball went so did the nation.
This Video Quality Is Outstanding
Thank you! A lot of time went into improving it.
I can’t find Baseball by Ken burns anywhere expect for Hulu and I refuse too pay for that shit, this was almost better. Thank you for the upload.
LOVE this.
Outstanding documentary. The colorization is so good that it seems to be authentically shot in color. Thanks for your work.
Most of these were filmed in color. They aren't colorized.
Love this documentary however a MAJOR error towards the end of it occurs. 1967 was NOT the year of the last true pennant race. 1968 was. Tiger fans were upset about this so eventually HBO redeemed themselves by finally making a documentary on the 1968 Tigers. Up until then that great World Series was largely ignored outside of Detroit because it was sandwiched in between the 1967 “Impossible Dream” Red Sox pennant and 1969 “Miracle Mets” series which always received more attention. We in Detroit used to call it “East Coast media bias.”
To me 1993 was the last true Pennant Race. But I'm a product of my time
1968 Tigers were the last before they added the AL and NLCS...but it wasnt a race. They were on cruise control and had the AL pretty securely in the bag by early September.
@@timburr4453 The documentary wasn’t referring to the closeness of the pennant race but the lack of a division playoff series as you say.
1967 was an incredibly close race involving 4 teams until the last day of the regular season.
@@timburr44531993 is also the last time you'll see a team win 103 games and miss the postseason.
Great Tiger team and a great World Series
Yankees did not win 5 straight world series from 1960 to 1964. They lost in 1960- won in '61 and '62-lost in '63 and '64. They won 5 straight world series from 1948 to 1952
Glad they uploaded this!
Version 1 and 2 are also available. I notice those are getting less views, so maybe they're not showing up for people.
Thank you!
My Father saw the Giants and the Yankees in 1962. Both in Candlestick and Yankee Stadium. Willie and Mickey. Those were such special times.
Super cool. I'm in my 40s, so I've only seen video...but it looks like a true golden era. I kinda gave up on baseball once it became 3 outcomes...(but I still love it, obviously...just not watching it other than local games in my city). I bike a lot, so I'll bike around the city and stop and watch little league games and stuff. I really love the design of the game.
@@Colorized-History They were different times. They have changed the game too much. Not for the better. Only for marketing reasons -- to speed up the game. No more no-hitters. No more perfect games. Pitchers have rotations that are too long. Too many "bullpen games." Now pitchers have a pitch clock.
Doubleheaders in the '60s were terrific. G1 the team's aces would pitch in a 2-1 nail biter. Then G2 would be a rookie or seldom used starter. Often resulting in a 10-8 crushfest.
i have watched this so many times just for the Mickey Mantle footage, its hard to watch his decline. he was everything to me growing up
For me major league baseball is unwatchable today which makes me sad ..
Just watched MLB game from Rickwood field.
The Say Hey Kid just passed …what a great vid of hi
Not enough Brooks Robinson in this video
I so enjoyed this video!
Watching the Mantle-Maris homerun record chase coupled with Aaron Judge's subsequent breaking of that record only raises questions. My favorite team just finished a weekend series in the "new" Yankee Stadium. On Friday night, our first baseman broke his bat, hit a pop fly down the right field line with exit velocity of 90 and was rewarded with a 2-run homer. Two innings later, our 3rd baseman was fooled by a pretty good changup and hit a soft liner to right-center which landed in the seats. No homerun record held by any New York Yankee is legitimate.
Sure, and all the those they passed in setting those records were using other inferior types of equipment! What a moron.
53:43... That's how we exited Yankee Stadium back in the day - through the outfield. Walking where the Babe, Lou, DiMag and the Mick all trod was worth the price of admission, all by itself.
Jenkins pitching 3 times a week, Monday, Thursday and Sunday. Jesus.
Phillies really messed up trading him to the Cubs. A stud from the Great White North eh!! #ChathamON
34:20 rest in peace, Willie ❤️ ⚾️
Baseball is so powerful!!
Loved this but stopped going to games after they blackballed Rose. So random, especially in light of all the sports gambling today.
Fantastic documentary! I can’t help but wonder what kind of gems were left on the cutting room floor
If you enjoyed this one, part 1 and 2 are uploaded as well. IMO they are equally great.
Nice outfield, Mantle, Mays and Aaron. Bigotry sure cost the Yankees.
46:17 Brought back memories. No computer games.
My best memory, being from Dallas, was seeing Nolan Ryan for the Rangers against Roger Clemons (well a story for another time)
I guess Koufax is the last of the real classic stars..So many are gone now..Even Mays..
Yes I am working on a Mays video, and have Koufax in the queue.
@@Colorized-History Sounds Awesome!
juan marichal is still alive as is Yaz
Thanks, did you upload this in HD . ? Looks amazing
Yes it was upscaled to HD and enhanced. Thanks!
@@Colorized-Historygreat job dude
My time growing up. God what memories!
Share some if you could?
When a box seat next to the dugout cost $4.50 and thr Mick came out and acknowleged our existance by nodding and saying Eh!
I was born in 1958. I feel the greatest era for MLB was from 1947 when the color line was broken and before the Giants and Dodgers moved. .
Before the multipurpose cookie cutter stadiums. 🏟
2 hour drive from Long Beach to the Bronx ? Billy Crystal exaggerates.
Yanks farm system was the K.C. A'S !
But when Charles Finlay purchased the team that killed the Yankees
I'm 10 again
12:11 What business is it of an employer if an employee is married or not? At my job, my manager and supervisors doesn't try to talk me into getting married or becoming a father.
Haha. I don't know. It was the 50s, man. Different times.
You do as you're TOLD.
no yogi in opening
No fat lady singing either
How were non English speaking players supposed to communicate with English speaking players???
In the beginning of the show when Mantle hits the home run, he snubs a handshake from the guy coming up. What was that all about?
Maybe that guy slept with his wife...
@@Colorized-History Mickey was sauced and didn't notice him maybe.
this was depicted in the movie "61", a teammate holds out his hand to congratulate mickey after he hits a home run, crossing home, with his head down in agony says "can't do it", after so many hand, arm, shoulder injuries simple movements were starting to take its toll.
those teams would kick the snot out of these present day teams with all their leg kicks and upper cuts and strike outs
I agree. Probably would get punched in the nose by the catcher when they got to home plate for doing a bat flip.
Central American players
Tomato tomato man
Connie Francis was voted the number one female entertainer of the 20th century .
In the 1960s , Connie made more money in one month singing in a Las Vegas casino than Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle made combined in one whole year playing Major League Baseball .
That's the way it should be , as MLB is no longer a game today .
The modern game with 3 outcomes is definitely rough. I no longer watch it, which frees up time to relive the past via these videos.
Bob Costas ruins an otherwise brilliant program.
