- Description:
- In this series of WSB-TV newsfilm clips from probably September 1959 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Art Felsch is the first person in line to buy World Series tickets. The clip begins showing a billboard that says "Milwaukee County Stadium presented by Miller Brewing Co." The next clip shows empty parking lots outside of Milwaukee County Stadium. The next scene is a close up of the Milwaukee Braves' logo. In the next scene, Art Felsch is seen emerging from a tent and stretching. Next is a close-up of the sign, which reads in part:
"Art (Happy) Felsch
(America's No. 1 Baseball Fan)
Sez...our BRAVES will win it!

The camera then zooms in on Art Felsch where he can be seen pointing at the "Milwaukee 57-58" portion on his sign and giving a "Number 1!" motion to the camera.
