OT - Video found of 1924 World Series
http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_...ies-action
Cool video - make sure you watch it until the end as the best part to me are the fans storming on the field after the decisive hit in game 7. It's also interesting to see Walter Johnson's pitching motion (seems hard to believe he could throw upper 90's but he was 36 at this point so maybe his velocity had dipped some).
The field looks more like a football stadium. It's also odd to see everyone wearing hats and suits. Nowadays, you only see that in the expensive seats (well at least the suit part).

I liked the fans on the field also.
WJ always threw that way an was considered overpowering. There's other footage of him available on youtube. The whole motion of windups has evolved, hasn't it.
