Lots of discussion here about baseball films. But how many of you have seen the very first one?

Earliest known fictional baseball movie made by Edison in 1899 based on Thayer's "Casey at the Bat." Note the pitcher is barehanded. The Casey poem was written in 1888 when virtually all players wore gloves.
