As we often say, you never know what you will find on the handy ol’ internet. We came across this footage which unfortunately has no narration or sound, but offers some unseen game action from 1960. The original description states: “Department of Defense. Department of the Army. Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations. U.S. Army Audiovisual Center. 1960 — Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49'ers playing football game on muddy field. Paul Hornung scores all 13 points for Green Bay. Green Bay playing Chicago Bears in 1960. Paul Hornung sets all-time scoring record. Philadelphia Indoor Games (track and field meet) in February 1961. Henry Wadsworth, Don Bragg, and Jack Yerman star. The New York Yankees, New York Mets, and the San Francisco Giants baseball teams during spring training in 1962.” Once it gets to the baseball footage, there is sound. Anyway, a good historical snapshot of a bygone era in several sports.
Today, we decided that we needed to head to Green Bay to scope out some more Super Bowl XLV memorabilia, so that’s what we did. We’ll hopefully share some of that and some photos, etc. tomorrow.
