The years go through 1926 -- so you're right that 1899 is wrong. For those scoring at home, here's a breakdown of what is on those two DVDs: http://www.kino.com/video/item.php?film_id=852 Thanks for the comments, Andy, but, no, Bender does not appear in either one.

Highlights include Headin' Home, Babe Ruth's film debut in which he stars as himself, and The Busher, the story of a minor league pitcher making it to the big leagues. In addition to a rare look at early baseball, the short films also include laughs from cartoon favorite Felix the Cat and comic John Bunny.</blockquote> The date Netflix is showing is 1899, and I saw the Baseball Bug movie came out in 1911.
