1977 MLB All Star Game NEW YORK Original NBC Broadcast

The greatest time to be a kid watching and loving baseball

[@fjr70ify]

Yes!!!! Buying baseball cards and a bottle of yoohoo from the general store were the highlights of my summer.

[@sdne1959]

. 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 !! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Major_League_Baseball_All-Star_Game .

Thank you Reuven for pidgeon-holing those times; very helpful. What a thrill for Tom & everyone there to be part of & a witness to that ovation! May still be the longest one I’ve ever heard.

Unbelievable to be able to see this again after all this time. I was at this game with my uncle and cousin. Seats off third base on lower level. Was my 10th birthday a week before the game.

This is a treasure. MLB must release all these classic films. They are treasures.

[@msquaretheoriginal]

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.

[@towhee89]

​​​@@msquaretheoriginalvery interesting and explains a lot of gaps. I'm thankful for what we have but it's a shame there isn't more. KZbin is a literal gold mine for vintage games. 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 KZbin, but maybe they posted most of what they've actually got.

So many there that night who George lusted for, many went through the 80's revolving door - Gossage, LaRoche, Winfield, Reuschel, Wynegar, Campaneris, Jones, Griffey, Candelaria. One there who saved the '78 season was Bob Lemon. Singelton grew up in Mt. Vernon, both Carew and Ken played in McCombs Dam Park - fields that were taken away for the current Yanks Mallpark.
