I ran into these great clips and a new thread is needed if only just for these. Color footage from the Polo Grounds. Provided by FLAGSTAFF FILMS. [tweet:lt1pcmd7]https://twitter.com/Flagstafffilms/status/1067417796043309059[/tweet:lt1pcmd7]

It never occurred to me that people would park their cars at the Polo Grounds to go to a game at Yankee Stadium. I know it's totally impractical, but they should rebuild the Polo Grounds exactly as it was and exactly where it was. If I was a multi-billionaire I would do just that.

"Enjoy the Ten Minute Head." These were more innocent times.

It's weird to see Shea looking so old-timey. It's always felt so modern even though it's 10 (!) years gone.

^That's the one with Chico. I love it.

I didn't watch the whole thing, so I missed Chico. Some highlights of what I did watch was Leo Durocher getting thrown out of the game and Willie Mays & Hank Aaron getting some hard knocks, albeit flyouts. I felt bad for the 1969 Mets pitchers who were struggling to get the ball over the plate, yet there were no walks in the game. Bob Murphy was great. I miss him.
