Here’s some color film of the 1938 World Series at Wrigley, 80 years ago

If you’ve seen old baseball films, most of them prior to the 1960s are in black and white.

Thanks to the folks at Flagstaff Films, we now have quite a number of brief color films of Wrigley Field both inside and outside prior to the first two games of the 1938 World Series, played 80 years ago this month. The Cubs were swept by the Yankees in that WS, but these films are amazing. George Roy of Flagstaff Films told me that they had been shot by a freelance photographer and purchased by them from a MLB player from that era.
