My father would have been 11 years old and at the game. My Grandma told me my father NEVER missed a Cubs-Cards game with his uncle. I was really missing my Grandma today (she passed away in December 2020) and saw this clip. 10 years later, almost to the day, I would be at Wrigley with my dad. It's the only memory I have of him (he was killed by a drunk driver just months later. I was 3). yes, I'm crying. But it's a good cry. Thank you SO much for posting. It feel like, if just for a little bit, Dad, Grandma and I were together.
Thanks for posting all these excellent games. I watched WGN ch9 in Chicago when I was a kid. I loved Jack Brickhouse the HOF announcer and Vince Lyoyd. Brickhouse would do pretty much all Chicago sports Sox, Cubs, Bears, Bulls and even wrestling on ch 9. He did Sox games from 1940 on and then Cubs games too. He was also known to do national broadcasts and called the 1954 Spectacular over the shoulder, back to the infield Catch by Willie Mays. He called everything from NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, and Wrestling. He was an incredible announcer and called Earnie Banks 500 home run and several no hitters. He eventually retired and Harry Carry took his place coming from the White Sox believing people wouldn't pay for the new format of watching Sox games on pay tv. He was wrong as everyone now pays to watch Major League Baseball. I was fortunate to have gotten autographs of both Jack and Harry. Chicago has had it's share of HOF announcers with now the recent addition of Hawk Harrelson.Thx for these games!
There was no one like Jack Brickhouse. Great call on this 9th inning. My mom had no interest in baseball, but when she heard Brickhouse get excited, she paid attention
Thank you for quite a gem...The kinescope of WGN's broadcast of Don Cardwell pitching a no-hitter for the Cubs against their arch-rivals, the St. Louis Cardinals. On May 15, 1960, no less. On that same date in 1981, Len Barker of the then-Cleveland Indians (Guardians) pitched a perfect game at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland against the Toronto Blue Jays. History, in a sense, repeated itself. Two pitching gems for the record books. Thanks for the video.
Cardinal fan here... this was so awesome to see... I was excited for the black and white footage of Stan the Man ! It was really cool to watch the no-hitter !!! Thanks
What a great find on TH-cam. Born in 1953 in STL my Cards memories begin with their 1960 season. I did not remember this no hitter by Don Cardwell against them but had recently read of it reading my 2000 Cardinals journal book detailing each season back to 1892 while waiting for our takeout orders during coronavirus. Don Cardwell is a good pitcher on my 1969 strat-o-matic Mets team. Thanks for placing on TH-cam.
Cardwell went to the Mets from the Pirates as a throw-in when the Mets sent pitcher Dennis Ribant for outfielder Don Bosch. I remember Cardy as a Met very well.
Amazing! I was two years old. Dad and Mom likely watched this live! We lived in East Chicago, Indiana, 50-minutes from Wrigley. We watched WGN every day.
I've been a Cardinals fan all my life and so remember all these Cardinal players, their positions, their batting stances. I was 14 yrs old. I believe Hal Smith the cardinal catcher had a heart attack around 1960 or 61. Not sure. Anyway, thanks for posting, brought back a ton of little boy memories..
The Tigers' John Hiller was another player who had a heart attack in the middle of his career. The was a better pitcher after his attack than he was before.
Thanks for posting. Too young to remember, but I was living six blocks west of the ballpark at that time. Great hearing Vince and Jack again and their terrific baseball voices.
The days when baseball was fun to watch and everybody had a great time at the old ballgame. Not like now where people are staring at their phones like mindless zombies!
It was nice to see one of these old games with a behind centerfield camera view. For some reason, alot of games back then,were shown from the above catcher camera angle.
I made my first communion on that day. Still have old pictures. Was a Milwaukee Braves fan and couldn't care less about the Cubs then or now. Go Brewers!
So have Old-Timers games. I remember watching Tony Oliva hit a home run straight into the wind blowing in from right. It was in an Old-Timers' game in Wrigley, so you know that one had to be hit hard if it was into the teeth of the Wrigley wind.
This was 11 days after one of the Cubs' more notorious trades (out there with 1964's Brock-for-Broglio) where they sent Cubs' on-again, off-again manager Charlie Grimm to the radio booth and their once-and-future radio announcer, Lou Boudreau, was named Cubs' manager. Made no difference in the end - the Cubbies ended up 60-94 in 1960, then after reversing the trade P.K. Wrigley set up the even more infamous "College of Coaches."
On this day Early Wynn pitch a no run game at Cleveland.and Cardwell no hitter top it. As a White Sox i will never forget the day Jack Brickhouse you were great. RIP Jack
As a Sox fan I remember Jack Brickhouse calling Joel Horlen's no hitter against the Tigers 4-0 in 1967 on September 10 during the frantic AL pennant race
I thought the No-hitter was over when I saw Sawatski hit the ball hard into Right Field. And speaking of Right Field, look at all the paper and debris on the ground out there. What happened? Fans went crazy before the No-hitter was completed? And great catch on the last out of the game.
I watched a near no-hitter in a Class A game. The pitcher lost it with one out to go. I saw Wilson Alverez' no-hitter for the White Sox in Baltimore. After the first out in the bottom of the 8th, the Oriole fans switched sides. I saw Kerry Wood's 20 K game for the Cubs.
The length of this game was 1 hr 46 mins. And it's easy to see why. Watch after each out in the top of the 9th inning. No sooner does the ball hit the fielder's glove and the next hitter is in the box ready to roll.
Very interesting ninth inning. All three batters came very close to getting a hit. Usually there is only one close call in a ninth inning. Is Oklahoma gasoline still around? Interesting camera angle from the third bas side of the field. Great video for Cub fans. Stan the Man Musial and Ernie Banks. Two HOF in the same video!
@@JJJBRICE - Oklahoma would have been the brand name used in Chicago for Esso. Not unlike with 'Carter' in Utah or 'Enco' in other parts of the country - not to mention 'Humble'.
@@wmbrown6 Thanks friend . All those names are part of the Standard Oil empire . Now split off to what used to be Standard Oil of NJ now called Exxon-Mobil.
I love the old custom where if a pitcher has a late no-hitter going his teammates ignore him on the way back to the dugout, and almost always in the dugout.
It was great watching Ernie Banks bat again, but couldn't you show the home run? It was great hearing Jack Brickhouse again. He taught me the game. How about the 9th inning of Sam Jones' no-hitter? Jones walked the bases loaded with no-outs, and then struck out the next three hitters. I think the final out was made by a Pirate rookie named Roberto Clemente.
That's for sure. While waiting for our takeout orders during coronavirus I have kept some of my Cardinal history books in the car for reading. One of them is a journal book detailing each season up to around 2000 when the books were bought. I found it interesting reading of the players who got away. Wagner later played well for the Angels and the Indians. I was born in 1953 and have always been a Cards fan here and 1960 is where my Cards memories start. The Cards really let good players leave in the 1970s.
@@scottcoffey5464 Good point. The Cards knowing Musial was retiring soon had already traded pitcher Larry Jackson after 1962 to the Cubs for outfielder George Altman did not work out well enough in the 1963 season. If Leon Wagner had been kept starting the 1961 season the Cards may have even kept Larry Jackson who might have been enough to win the 1963 pennant. Broglio was an ace so you might be right.
There doesn't appear to be any safety netting in the background like you see to the extent in todays in ballparks. Makes you wonder how many foul balls hit fans in those days.
Cardwell was traded by the cubs to the cardinals after the 1962 season, but he never played for the cardinals, a month later he was traded to the pirates

This was 11 days after Boudreau - then announcing on radio - was named Cubbies manager while "Jolly Cholly" Grimm was sent up to the radio booth. It was more likely Grimm you would have heard calling the game if the radio aircheck of this game was available.
Players are pussies now, they take days off to ' rest' ,and they're 25 years old, they don't love the game they love money and self promotion. I hate today's game, I think baseball is dying a slow agonizing death
I wonder what those fans would have said if they were told that in order to watch Cubs games they would have to pay for cable or satellite tv and and even more for a premium channel?

Nice to see film footage of Stan the Man, even if he did strike out.
He looked over-the-hill and over-matched.

I was there that day. Twelve years old. Got onto the field and collected a handful of dirt from the mound and took it home.
Damn good camera work for 1960, excellent blend of view points. Pretty wild scene after the final out too !
Curious that they didn't use the angle behind home plate
If Stan the Man can't break up your no-hitter then you're home free. Get your road map.
I was at that game with my friend Glen Barts, we both skipped out of school at Lane Tech to see a double header
This was awesome!
Arne Harris worked for WGN and Cubs broadcasts way back then?!?! Crazy! I remember he was still working for WGN in the late 1980's
That was one of my biggest take aways as well. Arne!
The days when baseball was fun to watch and everybody had a great time at the old ballgame. Not like now where people are staring at their phones like mindless zombies!
So cool! Thanks for posting this! I miss Cubs games on WGN.
Amazing mayhem after the game with fans running on the field, and not a cop in sight. That’s the real reason we now have screens all around.
The screens are to protect the fans from line drive foul balls.
A big game the day after I was born. Fun to see Musial enter, and to hear that Bill White was more than a slick first baseman!
Bill White in centerfield! I knew he played some outfield, but center!
It was nice to see one of these old games with a behind centerfield camera view. For some reason, alot of games back then,were shown from the above catcher camera angle.
I could watch this all day
That catch by Walt Moryn was incredible. Ironically, he was traded a month later to the Cardinals.
C’mon Moose!
This is the best old time Wrigley Field broadcast I’ve seen thank you 👍
The last pitch was shown on the 1988 “WGN at 40” TV special. Nice to see what led up to it.
So glad this exists, knew the game happened but had never seen, thanks
That was his first start with the Cubs after being traded from the Phillies two days prior for Cal Neeman and Tony Taylor.
You're an amazing trivia expert!
Vince Lloyd doing the ads. Johnny Bench mentioned that commercials were only 45 seconds.
Watching on the 63rd anniversary....this never gets old.
Great hearing Jack Brickhouse again. I actually applied for a job with the Andy Frain Ushers when I was 16. Didn't make it however.
5 weeks old at the time. One of my earliest memories. Great stuff.
😂😂
WGN has plenty of old baseball games like this and others from around the league at that time. I hope they preserve them well.
Beautiful, thx for sharing.
It's amazing to see baseball history! He was running out of gas at the end, but some great catches in the 9th saved it!

Game 2 of a Sunday doubleheader. Doubleheaders are another thing that's gone away.

He deserved better.
On this day I was a 7th grader at Darwin School on the Northwest side.
They got 2 games in that day in a ball park with no lights and on May 15 the sun doesn't set as late as it does yet
I had the pleasure of watching Nolan Ryan throw a no hitter in Oakland vs. the A's in 1990.
I watched a near no-hitter in a Class A game. The pitcher lost it with one out to go. I saw Wilson Alverez' no-hitter for the White Sox in Baltimore. After the first out in the bottom of the 8th, the Oriole fans switched sides. I saw Kerry Wood's 20 K game for the Cubs.
Last no-hitter in a first home game with a franchise until Michael Lorenzen’s tonight (8/9). 63 years.
I like this video because they advertise travel, etc which is much harder to do nowadays.

It was a solid screen fence with a net connected that attached all the way to the upper deck so balls would roll up and down if nobody grabbed them
