MLB.com gives us a 17-second clip on their YouTube channel of some vintage color videotape footage. The wonderful part of this color videotape is that it preserves the remarkable brilliance of Charlie Finley's golden A's vests.
The green stirrups with yellow socks. The yellow vests with green sleeves. The white spikes. Dressed to the Nines actually lists that this combo didn't exist. The socks, with the yellow vests should have been white. These uniforms continued to feature the big green A on them for the second season. The 1970 season would be the first season they were no longer known as the Athletics but as solely the A's. Modern baseball vests are often a terrible look due to their fit but this look is perfect and timeless.
As for the game itself, it took place July 19, 1970 at Fenway Park. More on that, after the jump.
