Cubs historical sleuthing: Video edition

Last week, I posted this article about some cool old color home film that had been taken at the 1938 World Series and put online by Flagstaff Films.

The folks at Flagstaff Films continue to put some great old baseball film on Twitter. A couple of days ago, this one appeared:

Well now, this one’s fascinating not only for the shot of Ron Santo during batting practice, but for some game action of the Cubs and Mets.
