1972-73 Cubs come to life in film documentaryby theFalcon - 20 cards (Last updated on Oct 7, 2020) |
PLUSES - Fantastic photography, vintage cactus league uniforms, revealing conversations.
MINUSES - They added a completely phony after-the-fact play-by-play by Jack Brickhouse. Plus, they showed games out of order to create a fake narrative, which only works for people who know nothing about baseball.

1. 1972 Topps #757 Jose Cardenal
39:13 - Leads flip game in right field of Jarry Park, 1972. This guy was a helluva ballplayer ... hit at least .291 during his first five years with the Cubs and never made an all-star game. |
2. 1976 Cramer Phoenix Giants #NNO Bruce Christensen
9:29 - Sliding into 3rd base for the Angels. He played in the majors only in 1971 for the Halos. |
3. 1973 Topps #542 Pat Corrales
You'll see this play at 43:45 thru 44:00. This is bottom of the 2nd, 6/14/1972 against the Padres. Jenkins hurt his knee, but did not miss any starts. |
4. 1972 Topps #416 Johnny Edwards
29:28 - Edwards homered off Jenkins in bottom of 11th to beat Cubs on 4/24/1972. |

8. 1972 Topps #508 Ellie Hendricks
39:40 - First time I ever saw a player try to tag out an umpire, LOL. This is top of the 2nd against the Mets, 9/16/1972. Nothing in TCDB with Ellie on the Cubs. |
