95 years ago. Planet Earth, now all new adults! One of the greatest teams ever is about to take the field too. The 27 Yankees!

Nice footage of Sportsman's Park. The stadium was actually owned by the American League's Browns. The footage we see hereis the way it looked for many years until the Cardinals built a new park in 1966. The Browns, surprisingly, had a very good team in 1922, narrowly miasing the pennant.Managment thought they were going to win a pennant soon, so they expanded the size of Sportsman's Park. However, it was the 1926 Cardinals who went to and won the World Series against the Yankees. Sportsman's Park was the site of the "Trolleycar Series in 1944 when the Cardals beat the Browns in a 6-game series. After a seruies of terrible teams and even worse attendance (They actually drew only 80,000 for the ENTIRE 1934 season, the Browns gave up the ghost 20 years later, sold the park to the Cardinals and moved to Baltimore.

This was at a time when the Cubs had more World Series titles than the Cardinals.

I'm glad the comments clarified this is Cards versus Cubs opening day in 1927. Amazing video of the ballpark I remember attending in the early 1960s when it was still around.

I grew up in St. Louis and went to games there from '58 thru '66. Yes, this is how it looked back in the 20's & 30's, but after Anheuser-Busch bought the team in '53, they did a nice job of cleaning up the place and renamed it from Sportsmans Park to Busch Stadium. During the late 50's thru the mid-60's it looked WAY nicer than it looks in this footage. Torn down in 1966 to make way for the "cookie-cutter" Busch Stadium 2. A Herbert Hoover Boys Club is there now with a soccer field. I bet most of those kids playing there have no Idea that 10 World Series were played on that field. Time marches on!

Baseball was so different in the 1920s. It looked really old. My parents weren't even born yet.

Wow, this really was Americas favorite pastime, wasn't it? Maybe it was the melancholy I felt because of the music but watching this made me feel what it must have felt like to be there....simpler and in a lot of ways, more honest, innocent times. Brings a tear to my eye.
