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.

12. 1972 Chicago Cubs Color Picture Pack B #NNO Fergie Jenkins
13:04 thru 13:30 - Blows away Don Money, Willie Montanez and Oscar Gamble of the Phillies. The fake broadcast said this was opening day. NOT TRUE!!! This game was on 6/27/1972. Jenkins lost on opening day to the Phillies, 4/15/1972. |
13. 2004 Topps All-Time Fan Favorites #44 Don Kessinger
"A great teammate" - that's the thought that comes to mind in all his scenes. This pic looks like it's at Shea Stadium in 1972. The '72 road uniform top had red stripes and a front number in the center. The '73 road uniform top had no red stripes and the front number was off to the side. |

15. 1972 Chicago Cubs Black and White Picture Pack A #NNO Rick Monday
23:55 - Jenkins speaking to Larry Jansen: "Rick in right field again? I don't know if he knows how to play right field." After further research, Monday played two games in right field in 1972 and never played the position before '72 with the A's. |
16. 1973 Topps #234 Bill North
Taking his cuts in the batting cage, 19:38 thru 20:36. Shouldn't someone print a tribute card to him in a Cubs uniform? Topps should search for the original print of this horrible airbrush job. |
17. 1972 Chicago Cubs Color Picture Pack #NNO Joe Pepitone
7:45 - Nutjob Pepitone talking trash and gibberish with the 1st base umpire (unknown #14). The Padres coach is Dave Garcia, wearing #2. |
18. 2013 Topps Archives Chicago Cubs #CUBS-3 Ron Santo
46:43 - He describes getting beaned by Jack Fisher of the Mets on 6/26/1966. |
19. 2005 Topps All-Time Fan Favorites #10 Dick Williams
7:06 - Sitting on bench during '72 spring training, but wearing 1971 uniform. I noticed that the Cubs, A's, Padres, Angels and Brewers wore their '71 flannels during spring training, before switching to double knit pajamas when the regular season started. |
20. 1973 Topps #185 Jim Wynn
28:16 - Quote from Jenkins on pitching to Wynn: "The guy's a midget up there." |
