On May 20, 1898, Thomas Edison filmed "The Ball Game" at Newark, New Jersey. The footage features the first moving images of a baseball game. The opposing team is Reading.
Video has been colorized, motion stabilized, upscaled, and sound has been added for realism and ambiance.
Notes on the film from the Library of Congress (this is not what I see happening, but it's up for debate): The Reading pitcher has just let a Newark batter walk to first. He gets up on his toes, ready to head for second base. The next batter up cracks first ball pitched for a two bagger, and races for the base with a burst of speed. The first baseman just misses a put-out. A man on the coaching line yells, the umpire runs up to make a decision, and a small boy runs behind the catcher, close to the stands, where there is a great commotion.
