1935 World Series - Chicago Cubs versus Detroit Tigers

[@dietpepsivanilla3095]

So cool to see a home run by the great Hank Greenberg.

[@tomitstube]

hank had a massive year in 1935, 203 hits, 36 home runs, 168 rbi, and .328 batting average. most valuable player that year for the american league.

[@dondressel452]

I miss the old baseball games I remember my mom letting me stay home in 1968 to watch the World Series Between the cardinals and Tigers It was a great series To bad I wasn’t around to see this series

[@jackn2493]

4:15 Kowalik got a hit! my great uncle, awesome! thanks for the cool video

[@williamsnyder5616]

One mistake. In 1935, the Tigers' home park was not known as "Briggs" Stadium because Walter Briggs didn't buy full control of the team until 1936. The owner of the Tigers in '35 was Frank Navin, mentioned in the clip as the Tigers' "late" owner. He died shortly after the Tigers won this Series. The field was called Navin Field then.

[@balconi89]

William Snyder This must have been made the following year. At the 5:20 mark they said the “late Frank Navin”.

[@sayheykid54]

You are wrong. The Tigers played at Navin Field until 1937.

[@williamsnyder5616]

Sayheykid54----Read my post again.I only said that the park wasn't known at Briggs Stadium during the '35 Series because Frank Navin was still alive, As I mentioned Walter Briggs didn't become sole owner of the team until 1936. DTB1997 is right. The name change came later.

[@mmagic3534]

I agree, since it clearly says Navin Field at the top of the scoreboard at the 4:53 mark.

[@marclaporte3710]

Correct ! Was just thinking the same thing!

[@johnu1100]

Amazing quality on this old film. Nice work.

[@Celluloidwatcher]

Thanks for the clips of the 1935 World Series, won by the Detroit Tigers over the Chicago Cubs. Interesting how then Navin Field had the outfield bleachers, which was later replaced by the double deck stands when Navin Field became Briggs Stadium. When the two teams played in another WS in 1945, Detroit's ballpark had grown in capacity.

[@garymorris1856]

This is so col to watch ! Film from the World Series, 86 years ago !

[@mortimerzilch2608]

nice to hear Marty Glickman's voice...great athlete, great announcer...NY's own!

[@darryl526]

It's amazing how formal the people dressed for a baseball game.

[@unclebobunclebob]

They don't now?

[@jerryking45]

No. They don't dress formal today. That's pretty obvious

[@russellthornton9283]

It’s Amazing what Navin Field (later known as Briggs Stadium then Tiger Stadium) looked like back in 1935 without a 2nd Deck in the Outfield.

[@jerryking45]

Almost unrecognizable

[@deborahbozin6587]

It should have been renovated what a shame I had great times at tiger stadium.

[@burymedeep-be7dm]

Great footage! Alot of full shots to actually see the play. So much of the old footage are close ups and you cant really see but this was great

[@famguy218]

this...is amazing

[@davids9520]

I find it interesting that these untalked about World Series series, have a lot of exciting and unexpected moments, involving teams not from New York or St. Louis. Far too much of the media remembers certain events, only if the Yankees, Dodgers or Cardinals are playing.

[@unclebobunclebob]

The thing I noticed the most is that the catchers don't crouch all the way down when the pitch is delivered. They half-stand. Which has got to make it tough on the umps to call balls and strikes. I wonder at what point in baseball history they crouched down all the way and stayed down until the pitch was fully delivered.

[@TheBatugan77]

June 2, 1944. That's when everyone squatted all the way down. Fact.

[@jerryking45]

[@ronlevovitz7088]

Goose Goslin got the series-winning hit to drive in Mickey Cochrane. Notice what didn't happen after that: No jumping up and down at home plate, no tearing off Goslin's uniform, no handing out T-shirts and caps on the field. The Tigers simply ran off the field to celebrate in the clubhouse..

[@tomitstube]

great footage. over 85 years ago. babe ruth at the game, retired that year after 28 games with the boston braves. still vying for a managerial job at this point. cool to see charlie root pitching for the cubs, he threw the babe ruth "called pitch" (that never happened) in 1932. charlie and the cubs went to the world series in 1929, '32, '35, '38 and lost all of them, they lost again in 1945. this was the first tiger world series win. it always looks to me like pitchers in those days didn't try to throw that hard. 6:56 - anyone know who these two gentlemen are? they show them twice (4:01) at different games (in detroit). weird how joe louis 5:11 would be at game 3 in chicago, he was from detroit and a huge tiger fan.

[@Buteo14]

I was born when the Cubs played at home. My mom could hear the cheers from her hospital room

[@michaeljoyner6470]

Great coverage!🙂 Thanks ! 🙂

[@nobodyaskedbut]

One of the few glimpses of the incomparable Charlie Gehringer. He was the greatest 2-way (off&def) player in MLB history and perhaps the only player in baseball history who was above average in every aspect of play. One of only 6 players in MLB history to produce at least 200 runs (R+RBI-HR) in a season at least 8 times. The other 5 were Gehrig, Ruth, Foxx, Williams & DiMaggio. He is also, the only middle IF in MLB history to field 900 total chances in 6 seasons and one of only 4 players to lead his league at his position in Fldg% & Assists in a season 7 times each. The other 3 were O. Smith, Aparicio & B. Robinson.

[@TheBatugan77]

It doesn't make any sense to subtract HRs from any runs produced. So your premise is cocky-doodie.

[@nobodyaskedbut]

@@TheBatugan77 It's runs produced for his team. When a player hits a HR he produces one run for the team.

[@TheBatugan77]

​@@nobodyaskedbut He drives one in and scores one. That's 2. It's the same if he drives in someone else. It's an RBI for him, and a run for the other guy. Same difference.

[@unclebobunclebob]

Notice how neither catcher goes down into a complete crouch with the pitch on its way.

[@charliegrimm3380]

I heard such great stories from my grandfather, charlie grimm and my father, Billy grimm about all the players in their lives. Inc. Babe Ruth famous call which my grandfather was playing first base. He told me what really happened. My name is Charlie Grimm and I'm so thrilled and proud to be alive when the Cubs got the " W " for the world series

[@TheBatugan77]

What about Grimms Fairy Tales? You related to them too?

[@Robsay01]

Spoke with Gabby Hartnett’s grand daughter at Wrigley and she said Ruth pointed his finger saying “all it takes is one”pointing outward. What did Grimm say?

[@heiankyo794]

0:30 I didn't know that the Cubs had ever used the "McAuliffe" number font (which the Red Sox are most famous for) on their jerseys. By their next Series appearance in 1938, they were using almost the same font they have now.

[@Alan2.1]

It's sad to think that most, if not all of those people are dead now....

[@TheBatugan77]

You're on the way out, Lev.

[@billsmith5985]

Obviously, Briggs hadn't been double-decked 'round the whole field' yet!

[@kyokogodai-ir6hy]

Still Navin Field at this time.

[@williamsnyder5616]

Walter Briggs started a remodeling project which culminated in the full double-decking of Briggs Stadium by 1938. The rejuvenation of the Tigers was amazing because they acquired the leader they needed in Cochrane, they were mired in the middle of the A.L. In 1933, the fifth place Tigers drew about 300K for the whole season. When Cochrane arrived, the Tigers replaced the Yankees at the top of heap and tripled their attendance. In '35, they not only won the pennant again, but their first World Series while being only the second team to draw a million. Doesn't sound like much now, but it was then. Especially in the middle of The Great Depression and with the auto industry in turmoil.

[@tomc.477]

There is another mistake in this voice over near the end. After the Cubs strand a runner at third in the top of the ninth, the Tigers come up to win it in the bottom half. But Glickman says "Clifton struck out to open the top half of the ninth."

[@benadam7753]

Is that young man at 5:30 the little Rascals "Butch" ?

[@victorrecord]

+Rich Schneider Yes. That's Tommy "Butch" Bond of the Little Rascals.

Mary Glickman announcer...Jewish sprinter on 1936 US OLympic team was BANNED from competing by Adolph Hitler. Great career as sports announcer.

[@martinsiegel4163]

The restoration is awesome. In regard to Marty Glickman, when I was a kid he was the radio announcer for, it seemed, all of new York's teams in the winter months; particularly football and basketball. He was great to listen to then and, in comparison to the TV shills of today, just no comparison. Glickman knew the sport he was talking about, and had an enthusiastic and informative manner. Later, I was surprised to find he had been a track star and would have been in the 1936 Olympics. What a shame, but he did well after that terrible, terrible setback. Between Marty Glickman, Mel Allen, Red Barber and Russ Hodges, for any kid into sports it was a golden age! These men were real individuals, each with a contribution to make.

[@acousticshadow4032]

Announcer opens this video by calling Detroit's home ballpark Briggs Stadium, but it was still Navin Field (not Briggs until 1938; Tiger Stadium in 1961). Was at the last game played at Tiger Stadium (aka Briggs Stadium & Navin Field) in late September/1999. My how it changed over the years, but what fools. All she needed was a new coat of paint. Instead they bulldozed 104 years of baseball history. Traded the cow for five magic beans. Threw the baby out with the bathwater. Wtg, Michael Ilitch Sr.

It's interesting to see black people in attendance at a game where blacks were not allowed to play. Just seems strange from a 2021 lens.
