1982-06-01 This Week in Baseball

[@erikgilreath3305]

When i was a boy, the song at the end of the show always made me tear up. I guess some things never change.

[@NatureB3]

As a child I couldn't wait for Saturday when you had TWIB, NBC Game Of The Week, Pro Bowlers Tour on ABC & WWF wrestling to wrap up the day. Great memories!

[@tracypaulgoulet6634]

Mr. Shorter, me and my buddies watched the same programs as much as we could in 1982. Man, I miss the simpler days of the late 70's and early 80's of sports shows. None of us had cable and the early days of the Entertainment and sports programming network. sometimes I wish I could drive the Deloren back to 1977

[@igorslocks]

And the Baseball Bunch

[@kevinolivas8075]

All of it great. Except ... and I mean no offense here ... not a big fan of the wrestling. But if you combined bowling and wrestling, you might have something there. Ah! Yep! Saturday mornings! This Week in Baseball! Bugs Bunny cartoons. Massive amounts of cereal and toast! See how the MLB players showed their stirrups? They really should go back to that. This combined bowling / wrestling thing. I think you are on to something there. The kids these days with the cell phones. And the iPad. And everything. Always looking for something new and different. I think you just created it!

Before baseball tonight, TWIB was the only place you find baseball highlights. TWIB followed by NBC Game Of The Week was appointment television.

[@chuckinhouston9952]

My favorite TV show of all time.

Youppi is now the mascot of the Montreal Canadiens.

[@richsleyster2656]

Ahhhh, it’s Saturday morning for a 10 yr old boy!!!!!

[@kevinolivas8075]

Any boss worth their salt should take the closing music to This Week In Baseball and set it to play each time an employee arrives for work. Great pick me up. Positive atmosphere. Everyone feeling good. And happy. And everything. That or The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson opening. That's some good music!

[@Sweetish_Jeff_]

I still can't understand why MLB Network doesn't air these episodes. Much better than the 47th airing of the edited-for-TV version of "Bull Durham".

[@Bigbearbows]

Best show on tv when I was a kid. They need to put these old episodes on today. "See ya next week on TWIB."

[@bobbenbrown123]

And the theme song was MAGICAL

[@Bigbearbows]

The old Home Run Derby was awesome too!!! I could watch old episodes of those two forever!

[@Bigbearbows]

The TWIB theme song is my ring tone on my iPhone. Gathering Crowds by John Scott. Phenomenal orchestra!!!

[@DARK24-7]

Simply the best Mr.Mel Allen and TWIB the Best ever!

[@jaycompany4886]

When baseball didn't have no pitch clock or inter-league play man! How i miss these days.

[@apohlmann11]

Thanks for posting this. The Cards game featured on here (from 5/30/82) was one of my favorite memories of my childhood. The first Cards game I remember going to with my parents and brother. Such wonderful memories.

[@davanmani556]

Best closing song of a program.

"Gathering Crowds" by English composer John Scott.kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnPIdWpqm5qSbNk

[@lukeheaton5336]

Called “Gathering Crowds”, not clouds as someone erroneously posted. You can find it on KZbin.

[@UnleashTheGreen]

i used love This Week in Baseball of the 70s and 80s

I remember watching this week in baseball when I was kid.

man i never realized how stacked that angels team was

[@gh6268]

Is it just me but i think we were enjoyoing more pro sports in those days?

[@scottkalinowski1326]

my heroes, my childhood.

[@jonstefanik9400]

Watching these old TWIB's makes me want to take out my lawn and install Astroturf around my house.

[@johnevans5434]

The Mariners of 82 were a fun team to watch and pull for.

[@chocolateflat-nosedfreaksh5263]

Stop pulling ur pud please, thanks

[@MGAF688]

Thanks for posting. I am hoping somehow that MLB will release additional seasons of TWIB on DVD. They created a DVD set of the 1977 season (which is readily available at sites like eBay and Amazon) and I was first in line to buy it. But since then, they have not issued any additional seasons.

[@terencehill2320]

How can you be first in line to buy something online. I also own said DVD set but I didn't have to wait on a virtual line for it. Quit being dramatic but the DVD set is awesome

[@chrisuncleahmad666]

Eventual ALCS preview

This week in baseball on HBO host Bob Costas, Al Michaels, Derek Jeter, and John Lackey for Monday thought Friday and Weekend host would be Brent Musburger, Chris Berman, Cal Ripken Jr., and Kerry Wood Reshowing on MLBN, ESPN, FS1, NBCSN, and CBSSN.

[@nala3038]

The story of Dave Kingman: he either hit a home run or struck out

[@skrillajones66]

@@nala3038 I doubt that the mlb is full of Dave Kingman. Lot of homers and strikeouts. No contact.

Please please please find the episode for June 8, 1982

I'vve been watching baseball since 1978 and I still can't understand the rules.

OK...mark me as an asshole..........but this was when sports were FUN.

The Metrodome yielded so many HRs in 1982 that the team subsequently proceeded to put up a tall blue wall running from the right-field foul pole to center-field called "The Baggie".

[@davidb5728]

does anyone know the music that starts at about the 13:38 mark? kind of a disco/classical sound, heard it on other baseball highlights in the same era, the early 80's and the music at 17:28 nfl films used for a segment called Teammates, if anyone knows that either

[@brianhendricks3140]

The one at 17:28 is "Drama Montage" by Brian Bennett. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZq7fX1ng7mEpMk

[@brianhendricks3140]

I'd like to know the name of the "marching band" song they play near the very end of each episode. (Not "Gathering Clouds" but the one right before.) It starts in this episode at 20:00.

[@lukeheaton5336]

It’s actually “Gathering Crowds” for anyone looking for it. It is on KZbin.

[@davidb5728]

not gathering clouds..i know what gathering clouds is..it begins at 13 38..maybe it has no name or nobody knows

[@PresidentGas1]

1982 .... where the outfield seats were dead zones.
