      @@billsimms2511 Amen…To both of you. That intro hit me in the feels thinking of the kids who took their place and comparisons and history. Baseball is my time machine. More than the NFL it takes me back to being a Soph in HS and having a Dad and a Little Brother to play the game with. The game both heals and haunts me..
      Spent so many summer nights in the Kingdome enjoying KGJr. Was such a magical time..

    I was a 12 year old Expos fan when this game happened, had this game taped on VHS and watched it at lot as it felt like somewhat of a coming out party for how good the team had become. That year and the strike still stings, although I guess less so for me deciding to follow the team in Washington and seeing a World Series in 2019, those who understandably gave up on the franchise still feel justifiably bitter to this day.
    Nostalgia is fun, it's not so much that things were better then than now, but rather just being a kid and everything seeming so much more epic than you ever can as an adult. Watching this intro even years later I still remember some of Costas's words verbatim because I watched the tape so many times back then. Part of it is getting older, but the changes in baseball have made it so the all-star game is just another all-star game, where as pre-interleague play it was the one that really meant something and that can probably never be recaptured. It'd be hard to understand now if you didn't watch baseball in that era.
    The one thing that's not nostalgic here though is the theme song for the broadcast- nothing wrong with it, per say, but my earliest memories of playoff baseball are the prior years on CBS and NBC was never able to match that epic theme!

    My first memory was seeing my beloved Orioles go up 3 games to 1 over Pittsburgh in the 1979 World Series, and then lose it all. I was very little, but I have a clear memory of game seven, listening on the radio with my father as he traveled to his union hall in Baltimore, hearing them lose was my first heartache in my life. I can't get enough of these old All Star Games and World Series Games on here, keep them coming.

      I Was in Love With Baseball Like Probably 98.9 % Of Young Kids In P.R. And Latin América in The Early 70's 👉🏾 and The All Star Game Was a Big Deal...in Those Days 👉🏾 A.L Plays Only A.L.Teams.and N L.👉🏾N.L
      Not Like Today's inter-league Games
      👉🏾 Before 1997...The All Star Game Was The Only Opportunity To Saw
      All The Greats Players Playing Against Each Other...✍🏽 And Fans
      Give The Game More importancy.
      No Cable, Only Maybe 1 Game Or 2
      A WEEK On T.V. 👉🏾 if We Lucky. and
      The T.V. Signal Was Strong Enough, if Not, We Go And Do Some 👉🏾Moving The Antenna Crazy Fast Fixing Job...in Top Of The House's Roof. And Your Parents Screaming Angry At You, Cause I Was Exposing Myself To Electrocutión, And All That For a Game.👉🏾The All Star Game.11 or 12 Years Old Kid. That Was My Love For The Game Of Baseball...And it Help it a Little Bit
      My Passion For Base ⚾ That My
      Uncle Was a Major League Player For 9 Years.👉🏾1970-75 With The Boston Red Sox....1976 With The
      Atlanta Braves, and 1977-78 With The Texas Rangers...BUT YES HE WAS IN THE 1975 CLASSIC WORLD SERIES AND WAS AN IMPORTANT PIECE ON THE PITCHING ROTATIÓN and COMING FROM THE BULLPEN, IN LONG AND SHORT RELIEF. ALSO
      SAVE 4 GAMES.... ALMOST FORGOT
      HE WAS MAJOR LEAGUE LEADER IN WINNING PERCENTAGE, IN THAT
      CLASSIC SEASON........WITH RECORD OF👉🏾 (14 - 3 824%). AND IN 1973 ALSO WON, PRIOR TO 1975. THE LEADER IN WINNING PERCENTAGE WITH THE RECORD OF👉🏾 (13 - 2 867%.) AND WON 10 GAMES IN A ROW...THAT SEASON..I THINK ONLY ROGER CLEMENS, SMOKEY JOE WOOD. LEFTY GROVE, AND 2 Or 3 Others Red Sox Pitchers
      That i'm Forgot. 👉🏾 WON 10 OR MORE IN A ROW....S.J. WOOD,
      I THINK WON 👉🏾16 IN A ROW IN 1912. ROGER CLEMENS,👉🏾14
      I THINK IN 1986 Or 88. THE OTHERS 👉🏾I DON'T REMEMBER.
      BUT IMAGINE MY CHILDHOOD AEARLY 1970'S....BEEN TAKING TO THE GAME BY MY UNCLE IN THE P.R.🇵🇷.P.B.L. WAITING FOR MY UNCLE IN THE CLUBHOUSE.... BEEN AROUND OF MLB STARS LIKE
      👉🏾MR.OCTOBER,REGINALD MARTINEZ JACKSON, RON CEY, MICKEY RIVERS, ELROD HENDRICK, R. ALOMAR SR, DON BAYLOR, DOYLE ALEXANDER, WILLY CRAWFORD TIM STODDART, LENNY RANDLE...ETC, ETC.ETC, WAS
      LIKE THE OLD ADAGIO, SAID.......
      👉🏾I WAS LIKE A KID IN A CANDY STORE..BUT INSIDE DISNEY WORLD. ALL THIS PLAYERS MENTION WERE ON THE SAME TEAM....THERE WERE 5 MORE TEAMS, AND ALL OF THEM FULL OF MLB STARS PLAYERS....REMEMBER WAS EARLY 1970's👉🏾 NOT YET IN MLB, WERE PAYING THE MILLIONS
      THAT MLB STARTED PAYING IN THE EARLY 1980'S And UP....The Mayority
      Of The Players Come and Play For Month in a Half Or 2 Months, For a Couples Of Thousands....And When They Finish Late January, Early February, They Were Ready For Spring Training...... That Was a Big Reason WHY Players Were injury Free, They Stay Playing 7, 8, And in The Latín Players Cases Some Of Them Play 8 Or 9 Months During The Year.....Was More Love For The Game, and Not Only For The Fans, But The Players Love The Game Seriously. Since All The Corporates Started Envolve Themselves On The Game, For Them Make MILLION$$$$$$ THE GAME EVOLVE TOO CORPORATE AND LESS PASSIONATED ABOUT THE GAME OF BASEBALL. OUR PASTIME.
      GAME...THE BUNT HIT IS DESAPEARING, SAME WITH THE
      SACRIFICE BUNT. STOLEN BASES
      WAS AN ART FORM, WITH ARTISTS
      LIKE LOU BROCK, VINCE COLEMAN,
      and The GREATEST Of All The Steal ARTISTS, RICKEY HENDERSON.
      NO MORE HUSTLE TO HIT A TRIPLE
      THE PLAYERS COMFORT THEMSELVES WITH DOUBLES,
      I CALL THAT TYPE OF BASE ⚾
      CORPORATE BASEBALL.
      WITHOUT EMOTIÓN,👉🏾I LIKE THE
      BOB COSTAS'S LINE ABOUT OUR
      ROBERTO CLEMENTE.....HE SAID
      👉🏾YOU CAN SAW AND FELT THE HEARTBEAT OVER HIS UNIFORM
      WATCHING ROBERTO PLAY ON T.V..... WOW, COMING FROM COSTAS THAT HIS IDOL I THINK IS MICKEY MANTLE,....IS A GREAT LINE....✍🏽ABOUT OUR 🇵🇷 AND LATÍN AMÉRICA 👉🏾 JACKIE ⚾ ROBINSON.
      👉🏾ROBERTO CLEMENTE WALKER👈🏾
      WERE FEW PLAYERS THAT PLAY
      WITH THAT RAW EMOTIÓN AND
      PASSION....MY 2 GREAT EXAMPLES ARE CLEMENTE AND ROBINSON ENOUGH SAID..✍🏽 BUT AT LEAST EVERY TEAM HAS 2 OR 3 PLAYERS PLAYING LIKE THAT....TODAY'S MLB 2 Or 3 in The A.L.and 2 Or 3 in N.L.

      This was also literally, the only time that NBC got to broadcast a baseball game in 1994 due to the strike. Had the season been played in full, then NBC's regular season coverage would've began on August 26. They were also in 1994, supposed to cover the League Championship Series as ABC was due to cover not only the Division Series, but also the World Series.
      Dick Enberg was supposed to be the secondary play-by-play man for NBC/The Baseball Network behind Bob Costas, but after the strike, his other commitments for NBC (such as the NFL and golf) got in the way and Greg Gumbel wound up with the #2 job come 1995.

    • @TMC1982Part2

    Bob Costas must of been elated when it was first announced that NBC would be coming back to the baseball broadcasting business after four years away due to its contract with CBS, since baseball is his favorite sport. Unfortunately, it had to be under the aegis of this stupid arrangement called The Baseball Network, which has to be the worst sports broadcasting contract in American TV history.
    The 1994 All-Star Game was the only baseball game that NBC got to show in 1994 due to the strike. And it got even worse from there. When baseball resumed in 1995, we had to deal with among other things, the asinine practice of the first two rounds of the playoffs being divvied up to viewers by region and played simultaneously. And there was no continuity with when and where the games would air since both NBC and ABC randomly split the responsibilities, all the way through the World Series.
