Some footage was published last month on YouTube showing game action and aerial shots of the 1919 World Series. Yea, the Black Sox World Series. This is really cool stuff! There's footage of old Comiskey Park, a few shots of actual gameplay, shots of the crowds and a shot from the sky. In particular, I thought the shot of all the people in New York "watching" the game was really neat. View it below:

Frank Thomas Elected to Baseball Hall of Fame
Big Hurt, big resume. Frank Thomas was elected to the Halll of Fame today! To me, the guy was a shoe-in. 20 seasons in the MLB and finished with a .301 batting average, wow. I remember seeing him hit at games when I was younger, man he had power. And to tell you the truth, I like his commentary on CSN after games with Bill Melton as well.
Plus, he's a beast.
Frank Thomas received 83.7% of the vote, so he's definitely a 1st ballot Hall of Famer, well deserved if you ask me. Thomas is one of only 28 White Sox players in the Hall of Fame and joins the ranks of Carlton Fisk, Nellie Fox and Luis Aparicio.

The 6-foot-5 slugger topped the .300 mark in 10 seasons and went .330 or higher four times. Thomas produced seven straight seasons of hitting .300 with at least 20 homers, 100 walks, 100 RBIs, 100 runs scored, a .400 on-base percentage and a .500 slugging percentage from 1991-97.-MLB.com
