Rare Films from the Baseball Hall of Fame 2005

Last year's program highlighting rare cinematic treasures from the National Baseball Hall of Fame was so well-received that we decided it deserved extra innings. Celebrate the season's start. With the Hall's generous cooperation, we have once again assembled an evening of rare baseball films that will entertain baseball fans and cinephiles alike. Included in this program is an unusual 1968 highlight film of the recently relocated Expos' first season in Montreal, a series of Gillette commercials featuring such stars as Willie Mays and Pee Wee Reese, footage of the 1966 Cincinnati Reds in spring training, and another great interview with Cleveland slugger Rocky Colavito. (Program approx. 120 mins.)

Special thanks to Jeremy Jones of the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
