MLB on NBC was the best, Bob Costas intros and commentary, better theme songs (except the original 1996-2006 Fox theme), and a reverence for the sport that Fox simply doesn’t have. Not a surprise considering in 1999, Fox was in just its 4th year covering baseball while NBC was in its 38th…
@@sillygoose635 I am more talking about the “Fox attitude” which is to treat it casually and informally, even getting Pat Summerall to lighten up, and this is fine in football where you still have CBS and NBC to wax poetic when the time calls for it, and in 1996-2000 you had that same dynamic in baseball with Fox and NBC. That was a big element that was lost in 2001 and beyond, although ESPN Sunday Night Baseball kept that going on the cable side through 2010 until they fired Jon Miller & Joe Morgan
Wish NBC would bring this theme back for their Peacock coverage of MLB.
Amen!!!
I'd pay BIG money for the full score.
This theme brings me back to seventh grade 😇
Eight grade for me. This was back when baseball was actually watchable. NBC always did it best.
12th grade for me
8th grade here too.
I literally used to hum this song when I would walk off the field after a half inning was completed.
7th also
I remember this theme for the 1997 World Series. It fit for the drama of that year.
It ain’t the theme for the 1997 World Series though

to be fair, by the time Fox had gotten baseball they were only 14 years old... NBC was around much longer.

What a great theme. That's what missing in today's theme it doesn't pump you up
that's not true
Nobody has found a full, clean version yet?
RIP Joe Morgan
As a Braves fan, I really felt we were going to win this game...when we lost it was over!
Where can I find the whole theme???
Smoltz vs Clemens in a Game 4, wow. Had to be one of the better rotation matchups for a WS in recent memory
And it's coming back. For one day only 🥴😞
Bring back I was in a 6 grade
When everybody loved bob Costas 🤣
Sound is down
NBC baseball > fox baseball all day
NBC basketball > ESPN abc basketball all day
