Wonderful interview! Thanks for posting! ❤

Nettles may not be a hall of fames but he was clutch and a gold glove third baseman

78 Yankees great pitching, contact hitting, great defense, power when needed missing from 2024 team power yes, defense no

KC had a few crybabies in that series

What I (or some other clever person) need to do is cut this into the unabridged TBS broadcast, so we have as much Kiner/McCarver/Zabriskie as possible, and only need to endure Skip Caray and co. to fill in the gaps. Still not as good as having the full WOR available but would satisfy the goals of completeness and Mets-ness as well as can be..

I seriously doubt anything Dorothy wrote caused that much harm to Paar. He brought it on himself by whining.

Paar was a communist supporter.

0:39, where was Bill looking at the clock?

Only time I heard my grandfather curse.

This was terrible I was only 6 and didn’t quite understand but my mom who was pregnant with my youngest brother just days before his birth. Was outside crying and I asked why and she just cried more and she wasn’t even a Yankee fan (cardinals) very sad day indeed

Lifetime Yankees fan. But man, these guys were great. WOR channel 9. Mets and the Million Dollar Movie. Where did that all go?

I've been a NYR fan since 1976, and when Steve Somers hit the airwaves on the FAN he became my hockey therapy and keep me from jumping off the ledge for every bitter pill and NYR loss.. The N.Y. Icelanders TAKE THAT ! The Schmooze Rocks ! NYR's In 7.🏒

Such memories

I was at that Mets Phils doubleheader. I’ll never forget that bulletin and how shocked we all were at the game.

That's exactly how I heard the news. We were getting a cookout ready in our backyard. They must have been playing a twinight doubleheader to be playing at that time. Back then about a third of their schedule was not televised. Games on cable hadn't really gotten going yet. We didn't have cable anyway. They only had 3 announcers who worked a rotation system, so the fact that two were on the radio indicates it was not televised. What a shocker. So sad. He wanted to be able to fly back to Ohio and see his family on off days.

If I remember, part of this set was used on the BREAK THE BANK pilot, seen in the intros.

OMG, aired the same exact day that Tobey Maguire was born! (And to top it off I’m posting this comment on the same day of the year in 2024! Therefore happy 49th birthday to Tobey and happy 49th anniversary to this episode!👍)

LOVE THIS!!! I was 8, and this is the first game I truly remember attending. Yankees won 5-4.

Funny how the mission to Mars is at the Magic Kingdom and then years later it's at Epcot center. Going over the speedway you don't hear hi everyone this is Mr Johnson. In his space copter

The more I listen to Scooter, the more I think that Mad Dog Russo made his career doing nothing more than a Phil Rizzuto impression.

I was at the game with my late father. The memories. We use to go all the time, actually we were actually at the August 26, 1978 game vs the A's, Picture Album night!

you know MLB had lost it's way when I'd rather watch this than what's going on these days

"Thurman Munson was just killed when, there's a base hit up the middle by Luzinski"

Steinbrenner talks about bringing young players along who weren't eligible at 16:48. That referred to Jeter who traveled with the team despite not being eligible and it turned out to be a learning experience for him.

I saw his locker in the Yankees museum, no one has ever ben in it since he passed

I am and was a Red Sox fan. The rivalry between Carlton Fisk and Thurman Munson was pretty intense. I hated Munson because of the uniform he wore. But when I heard the news of the plane crash, I bawled my eyes out. I live near Boston but at night we could pickup the Yankees radio broadcasts on AM radio if the conditions were right. I remember the first game at Yankee Stadium after the horrendous news, and Bob Sheppard was the announcer during the tribute to Thurman Munson. I was listening on the radio that night.

As a Mariner fan, I wish we had Steinbrenner as owner. He would have gotten in done for us.

It was foggy in Canton that day.

KC was so awesome back then!

One of the saddest days in my life.

That's right....A time all sports was worth watching ...today all sports, including the NFL is just so politicized....it makes me angry to try and watch, so I say to hell with these over paid, entitled bigots....I had rather sat around and twiddle my thumbs ...lol....they literally make me sick.

How can they play without Taylor Swift?

Summerall did not like the AFL/AFC. His last broadcast was Tom Brady’s first Super Bowl win when the Patriots beat the Rams in 2002.

This is pure gold. Along with the Giants-Colts championship game in the 1950’s, this is one of the two most important games in pro football history.

I was 6. We were from NYC, but temporarily living in the Chicago suburbs. It was the first game I remember watching. My dad was (and still is) a Giants fan. He was not happy with this game. I had no allegiance yet, but I became a Patriots fan. Go AFL/AFC!

I was in my family's basement. My friend Jeff was a big Yankees fan and we were sitting around just chilling when my dad comes down the stairs and asked if we'd heard about Thurman. My friend Jeff guessed " he got traded?!!" When my dad told us the news. We were Mets fans, still are. But those were some great Yankee teams in those years . Damn if he wasn't one of the great catchers of that time and always. A real tragedy.

Is that tim mccarver?

Still, the Yankees were classless and wrong for how they released him in '56. It doesn't cost anything to be decent and treat people with dignity. The stinking rot of capitalism creates these circumstances where the powerless have to abide the whims of the powerful.

I wished I could have met and known these wonderful people

Not the best episode. Redgrave was still way too "British" at this point and you see her partners struggling to simply understand what she was saying. Robertson, slouched back in his chair, was in "Can I get my check already" mode the entire episode.

I was at that Mets game and also at the Yankees game the next night. Ten year old me didn’t fully appreciate the magnitude of it all, but I knew I didn’t want to be the first to sit down during the pregame tribute at Yankee Stadium.

I was catching in a yumas game wearing number 15. When my brother told me

Jamie Lee Curtis was 19 than and eye poppin gorgeous! Now several years later, Jamie Lee Curtis is eye poppin gorgeous still!

All I know is Doc Gooden got the best punch off of the night

Bless Stick Michael and Bob Watson!

1:19:56 The entire North Atlantic "crackled with news too extraordinary to believe." (David McCallum as narrator of "Titanic: The Complete Story")

Jim Clark sulking and not talking as usual when he didn't win.

I always forget Pyramid started on CBS, before moving to ABC, and then returning to CBS again in the 80s. And funny enough, now it's back on ABC again!

I was 19 and he is and always be my favorite Yankee.. I wore number 15 all my life ..

I remember this like yesterday AUGUST 1979 GOING 2 NINTH GRADE RIP MR MUNSON
