      .
      Will FOREVER remember the EXCITEMENT I felt back then as a kid watching the All-Star game every year on TV.
      Cut to 2002 when I finally got the chance to 'live the dream' by attending the INFAMOUS Miller Park All-Star game (here in Milwaukee) that ended in a 7-7 tie, as a 40 year old adult! As disappointing as the finish of that game was, STILL a dream come true for the little kid that used to WORSHIP getting to see the All-Star game every year on TV !!

    • @msquaretheoriginal
      @msquaretheoriginal 3 года назад +9

      MLB's collection is limited. I speak from having worked there with it. They'd love to have this and a bunch of other stuff floating around. For example, the earliest World Series they have in color is 1969, despite NBC having aired it in color as early as 1954. But color videotape wasn't available until '58 and it was expensive. A lot of precious TV archives got wiped as tape was reused.
      However, a lot of stuff has resurfaced thanks to private recordings such as this. When I was working there, MLB.com had purchased a collection of cassette tape archives of many marquee games dating back to the 1950's. I had the privilege of playing a tape of Vin Scully calling the last Giants-Dodgers game at Ebbets Field in 1957 while he was live on the air calling that night's Dodgers game. Vin sounded the same 50 years apart.

Phenia Films has done an amazing job posting all these games for us to enjoy and I am trying to watch every last one literally. It doesn't seem like classic mlb is going to post much else on RUclips, but maybe they posted most of what they've actually got.

    Ron Cey starting in front of Schmidt was an absolute crime. And having Schmidt not even seeing the field was an even bigger crime.

    Still have my ticket stub! Game was good, but BP was amazing.
    Greg Luzinski hit around 8 to 10 consecutive pitches into the leftfield
    seats. Parker, Valentine and Winfield took turns throwing bullets from deep right field to home plate...all on a rope to the catcher.
    Seats were third deck between home and 1st base so we could see everything !

    Ron Cey 1977 first half stats: .272 18 HR 76 RBI. Mike Schmidt 1977 first half stats: .292 26 HR 58 RBI. That must have been a very close vote. Ron Cey got the start.

    'The Bronx Zoo'- Sparky's book chronicling pieces of this season and 78 season is one great work of literature. The days when Americans might have been still in shock from all it had witnessed on the world stage - baseball was the greatest escape. Lyle told his Truth and it was hilarious to this baseball junkie.

    In 1977 and 1978, Hall of Famer Jim Palmer looked very mortal against Allstar competition. I remember his interview after getting shelled at Yankee Stadium in '77, blaming his poor performance on warming up for nearly an hour before the 1st inning, as all of the pageantry and pomp took forever. I only wish the broadcast team was measuring and displaying pitch velocity back in those days...

    Rod Carew was hitting .392 coming into the All Star game but they said nothing about it during the broadcast? He ended up hitting .388 in 1977 and was the AL MVP. He and George Brett were the closest to hitting .400 since Ted Williams in 1941.
