Donkey ball was a big thing back in the 30's and 40's. I see tons of mentions of it during my research.

I've done research on fastpitch softball from the indoor days on....starting before the World's Fair in the early thirties.

The highlight of this year's program was footage from the 1917 World Series. You can see some of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCehiDyouwc (I'll wait for Boilermaker Rick to show up and tell me watching it on Youtube is exactly the same experience as doing so in an auditorium full of crazy baseball fans (I missed you, sini!) and old Evsnatson hippies out for a cheap date.)

Here's a good story about this film. Back in the pre-television days when each feature film was preceded by a cartoon or two and a newsreel, Dawson City in the Yukon Territory was the last stop of a movie reel. The movie had run everywhere else and there was no reason to spend the money sending the reels back so they just junked them. This reel was among many that were dumped into an old swimming pool which was then filled in and had a hockey rink built on top. That was in the thirties. About fifty years later the parcel where the rink was located was being developed and all this old film was discovered. Much of it had been preserved by the climate in the Yukon.

He also does research on the hidden greatness of Shannon Brown.

I didn't see this post in time but I couldn't have made it.

I recommend it for anyone next time around. The crowd is very interesting. When you walk into the theater the B O is hanging so thick you can taste it. Everyone is dressed in some kind of vintage baseball wear. The group is almost exclusively male and collectively don't look like they have viewed a vagina since the day they were born. Nice guys though, if you are not judgmental.
