This nostalgic DVD brings back all the memories of those early televised World Series games and baseball as it was played over half a century ago! Live TV broadcasts from before 1965 are extremely rare. Only five complete game baseball TV broadcasts from pre-1965 are known to exist and all are World Series games. The two oldest are stored in the Museum of Broadcasting in NYC. The others are in our private collection! Because each complete game required at least five reels of kinescope film, the reels were easily lost and scattered, so when a TV broadcast did show up, it was always one or two reels (an inning or two) at best. What a treat nowadays to be able to again see this complete game from the 1957 World Series! DVD will be sent out by Media Mail.
