Think this forum will appreciate this one

I remember watching that live.

I posted the you tube version of Appling old timers HR in this forum a couple of years ago, along with Mantle hitting an old timers HR against Whitey Ford. I like Max's twitter version better, as it shows some of the other players and has a nice interview with Appling at the end. Here's the link to my post:

Great video Max! 75 years old. Unbelievable!

Nice Max. And he ran it out instead of admiring it hollywood style.
That was a treat

WOW!

Amazing!

I also remember watching it live. I was just thinking about Appling's HR the other day and thinking about trying to find a video of it. And now it appears, like magic. I thought I remembered it barely squeaking into the stands, but he drilled it at least ten rows deep.
That NL All-Star lineup was amazing, with McCovey, Schoendienst, Pee Wee Reese, Banks, Musial, Aaron, and Kiner. And Spahn was pitching. Not a bad SOM team! And Al Kaline high-fived Appling as he was heading for the dugout, so the AL lineup must have been amazing too.

It's not like balls were flying out of RFK Stadium. The only other HRs were hit by Fregosi and Mazeroski.

fantastic, thanks!
