Angels still play here ..:it’s the 4th oldest stadium in baseball behind Fenway Wrigley and Dodger stadium

[@selfdo]

The Angels played for four years as tenants of the Dodgers at the then-new Dodger Stadium from 1962 to 1965. When the "Big A" was finally ready for the 1966 season, the new stadium had many features similar to the Chavez Ravine facility, including the upper decks arrangement and basic layout., low outfield fences down the line and dugout layouts included. Since the site was on relatively flat land, unlike the Dodger's park, it wasn't set into the ravine, but did have a nice view of the Anaheim Hills, until it was enclosed to take on the LA Rams Football for nearly 20 years. NOTE: in 1961, the Angels played at the park that for many years was home to the PCL's LA Angels, Wrigley Field, long gone. As another poster pointed out, the ballpark is fourth-oldest in MLB. Third is, of course, Dodger Stadium, which is four years older, as the Southern California weather seems to not be as hard on these parks. Of course, "tradition" will ensure that Fenway in Boston and Wrigley in Chicago will remain.

[@jamesrivera4947]

The "Big A" was built without outfield seating. The outfield bleachers were installed for the 1967 ASG, then removed. For the next 12 seasons, Anaheim Stadium would be the only MLB park without outfield seating ⚾

[@fairfaxcat1312]

Why do stadiums in Los Angelos last so long? The Coliseum and Rose Bowl each look like crap. Each has one big, gradually sloping deck deck which places most fans a mile away from the action. Amazing that millions of dollars are spent on these clunkers considering their value is actually the land they sit on.

[@larryloveless2967]

I was about to enter high scholl in St. Louis and remember watching this game all the way. There was great defense but what really stands out is that among all these great players how it was such a pitching duel with so many playing due to all the extra innings. Pitching dominates in Baseball.

[@ronmackinnon9374]

Managers serving as base coaches for the All-Star game: NL Herman Franks, Giants, 1B *Harry Walker, Pirates, 3B AL Eddie Stanky, White Sox, 1B Bill Rigney, Angels, 3B *Only a week after this game, Walker was fired as Pirates manager, with Danny Murtaugh filling out the rest of the season.

Great pitcher tom seaver RIP

[@Eddie_Schantz]

After wathing this video, I went back and looked at the box score for this game. Becasue of the lengh of this game, the NL sent 51 hitters to the plate and the AL sent 49 for a total of 100 at bats. I knew during what we saw on this video, there were a quite a few strike outs. 17 AL hitters struk out as did 13 NL hitters for a total of 30 SO's. So 30% of the total hitters struck out during the course of the game. I think that is a hight ratio of strikeouts vs the number of at bats for an all star game. And all three of the runs came off of solo homeruns. Interesting game though.

As this and a few other videos on KZbin successfully illustrate, Major League Baseball in the 1960's was the Golden Age of Baseball. And that's for many reasons. I specialize in the aesthetics of the 60s era, so I'll cover that here: Every team played in great ballparks, whether they were in older, classic ballparks (Phillies' Shibe Park, Reds' Crosley Field, Pirates' Forbes Field, Tigers' namesake Stadium, White Sox' Comiskey Park, Yankee's original namesake Stadium, etc) or in more modern parks (Dodgers' namesake Stadium, Giants' Candlestick Park, Astros' namesake Dome, Angels' Anaheim Stadium, A's Oakland Coliseum, Twins' Metropolitan Stadium, Orioles' Memorial Stadium, etc), they were all great, with the exception of the Cardinals and Senators, who I think were aesthetically better in Busch Stadium I (Sportsmans Park) and Griffith Park, respectively. The dugouts and clubhouses were designed and built to serve the very purpose of a simple area for the players to be in, not virtual apartments like today. The overall look of green seats and steel, simple grandstand construction, and on special occasions, red white and blue bunting, made for a timeless atmosphere that anyone can appreciate. The players also dressed very well. As a comment on a Uni Watch post says, the jersey and pants are trim but not tight. Button down jerseys with short sleeves and true vests reign supreme. The stirrup socks were at the most ideal proportion of stirrup to sanitary sock, allowing for plenty of white (Or yellow in the A's case) while still giving enough space for colorful and creative stripes. It was pre-double knit so every jersey was soft flannel but you still had an injection of powder blue roads. The cap is not quite the exaggerated high peak but isn’t formless either, with green underbrims for reduced glare (The grass is green too) and leather sweatbands with white reeding. No matter what style a team happened to wear, it was almost guaranteed to look like baseball. Teams with classic designs (Yankees, Cubs, Dodgers, Red Sox, Cardinals, etc) and those who experimented with their looks (A's, Pilots, White Sox, Expos, Padres, etc) all looked very elegant, particularly because button-front jerseys and belted pants were still in vogue, giving off a classic, formal vibe, going with the notion of baseball being a gentleman's game. The umpires also looked their best, many times being outfitted in dark navy suits, caps, and black ties and dress shoes, with either white shirts, adding to the aforementioned formal and official vibe. The players not only dressed well, but the equipment they used, consisting of Hillerich and Bradsby made Louisville Slugger or Adirondack natural-colored ash wood bats; Rawlings, Wilson, or Spalding tan leather fielding gloves and mitts; the aforementioned black (Or white in the A's case) leather spikes; simple-construction batting helmets with one earflap, which just seems to scream baseball to me; and catcher's equipment with simple patterns on the chest protector, shin guards (Both of which preferably in team colors), and the steel bars of the mask, were also simple compared to today, but elegant. And that's just the aesthetics of that era-not to mention the caliber of players during that time. But I'll let others cover that. I hope my Heaven is 1960's MLB when my time comes.

[@njva17420]

Tigers Stadium was Briggs Stadium before that. Dodgers played in Ebbets Field before moving west. Then there was Chavez Ravine.

[@samuelbarrett5648]

@@njva17420 That's right. All three were classics, and Dodger Stadium still is. I prefer the way Tiger Stadium looked in the late 60's, particularly during the Tigers WS championship in '68, with the outside all white and the inside all that beautiful dark green. Dodger Stadium still looks similar to its 60's look with blue and yellow seats. Ebbets was nice too but just missed the game's Golden Age.

Did u see any bat flipping, or posing at home plate on long drives to the outfield assuming a home run! I still watch baseball but this era was my childhood. As a Yankee fan in the late 50s & 60s these were my favorite players. RIP Willie Mays, Orlando Cepeda classy ball players, on and off the field.

Ironically, Tony Perez was one of the National Leagues Premier Home Run Hitters The Reds had Lee May and Johnny Bench and Pete Rose and too. Ironically it was 1966 or 67 when I started following the Cincinnati Reds. My Uncle George Fisher owned the Staten Island Dry Cleaners and had a contract with the Yankees and Mets to Dry Clean their Uniforms. I was born in the Bronx New York but I moved to Cincinnati Ohio when I was five years old and quickly became a Cincinnati, Red, Royals and Bengals too!

[@ronmackinnon9374]

Mistake at 4:15--Brickhouse says Chance gave up 3 hits in his 3 innings, when really he gave up 2 (single to Clemente and solo homer to Allen). Also (5:05, 7:20) misidentifies Jim McGlothlin as a rookie (the previous year was his rookie season). (15:40) Bottom of the 10th, he says, 'Yastrzemski's on 2nd with the tying run.' No, the potential winning run, idiot! The score is already tied! (18:44) Gene Alley strikes out '...and McCarver is left stranded.' Well, he was left stranded--but only after pinch-hitter Pete Rose made the third out (Alley was the second out).
