A bit more than a year ago, I posted some 1939 Wrigley photos that had been sent to me by Michael McNerney. They had been taken by his great-grandmother, Margaret Converse Butler.
Recently, I heard from McNerney again, and this time he sent me the following video, a film totaling about one minute’s worth of action from a Cubs game from the 1940s.
I’ve kind of given away at least some of the sleuthing done with the title of that video, but let me take you through the process. Michael McNerney did some of my work for me, sending me these clues:
1) They are playing the Cardinals
2) Looking at the uniforms, it can only be 1946-1948.
