Matt Miller Kandle

Matt Miller Kandle, Sr. was an amateur filmmaker in Chicago.

On October 1, 1932 Kandle brought a Kodak 16mm camera to Wrigley Field and filmed Game 3 of the World Series. This series (between the New York Yankees and the Chicago Cubs) was notable for the legendary moment of Babe Ruth's called shot when he hit a home run to the deepest part of center field. However, since no existing film footage was known to have survived, the shot calling had been the subject of controversy over the years. Many different versions of the event have come to light - even from the Babe himself.

Sometime in the mid-seventies, Kandle's 16mm footage was unearthed. It was not until February 4, 1994 that the footage was televised on the show, "Front Page".
