How to Play Baseball was the first of the Goofy “How To” short films. It was produced at the request of Samuel Goldwyn to accompany The Pride of the Yankees, prompting the studio to rush production and complete the short in just 12 weeks. Fred Shields provided the narration, though John McLeish is better known as the voice behind this series of shorts. | Disney History Channel

Part of what’s driven football to its esteemed place in the American consciousness are the sport’s many crossovers into mainstream culture. One such example dates all the way back to 1944, when Goofy helped “teach the public how to play football.” #FlashbackFriday 📹 Disney | Pro Football Hall of Fame
