Check Out this Amazing Color Footage of the 1939 World Series (Video)
People generally assume that, since most of the movies and photographs we have from the 1930s, 40s, and 50s are in black and white, color photography wasn’t even around. But that’s not true. Technicolor (for movies) was invented all the way back in 1916 and radically improved in 1929, and Kodachrome (for photographs) was invented [...]

Listen To Ron Washington’s Profanity-Laden Game 7 Pep Talk (Audio)

Picture Of The Day: Too Soon, Part II
I thought Houston Texans’ fan Chris Brown was stupid when he decided to get a tattoo of his team’s logo with “Super Bowl XLVI Champions” written on it.
