Newly discovered excellent-qualty footage shows the Senators' Game Seven 1924 Walkoff Victory.

90 years ago and guys were sliding head-first into 1st, and pitchers were already being called-off on infield pop-ups.

Bucky Harris totally pulled a deek move that is totally strategically legit but would be treated as dirty pool nowadays. He started Curly Ogden on the hill in order to ensure John J. McGraw would start his lefty batters, particularly Bill Terry, who hadn't been hitting lefties at all. Two batters into the game (one walk and one strikeout), up comes the left-handed Ross Youngs, and Harris heads to the mound to get Ogden and bring in his real pitcher of the day, southpaw George Mogridge.

Few managers think outside the box regarding their pitching. Maybe LaRussa if he was still around?

Woulda considered doing it against the Yankees in Game Four of the 2000 World Series. Start Bobby Jones but just let him pitch to Jeter and Sojo, and then flop over to Glendon Rusch.

I miss the days when fans could run on the field to celebrate.

The head first slide amazed me. In 1924. Great footage. I'm also always amazed at the crowds. Like the Jackie Robinson minor league shot, not one empty seat in the house. It looks like people are sitting on people.
