I love these old B&L Baseball games from the early 70's. I would LOVE to see the 1971 NLC SF vs PITTSBURGH, the LAST time the aging Giants had a winning season. In fact I watched this very game. At the time, I was 13 going on 14 and this was NBC'S Baseball game of the week that was always played on Saturday and yes, I watched 👀 the game on a black & white TV.

Great at the beginning to hear Jeff Carter sing the national anthem. He was the Giants PA announcer for many years and sung the anthem before every home game.

Stone was actually one of the five players the Sox traded to the Cubs for Ron Santo.

[@blackhorse11thACR]

Stone played for Giants, Sox, Cubs, Sox again , then the Orioles. He was an All-star with the White Sox and Orioles. He won 25 games with the Orioles on to winning the AL Cy Young. Chicago loves the Stone 🐎 Pony!

Fergie Jenkins during the 11 CGs in a row: 7-4, 2.47 ERA, .208 BAA.

[@jgrau5089]

Ferguson Jenkins had some impressive stuff, great control and movement on his pitches. Steve Stone later played for the two Chicago teams and won the Cy Young with the Orioles in 1980.

[@written12]

Jenkins pitched 14 games in a row without walking a batter, we learn here. Amazing, right?

[@written12]

One of the poignant things here is when the announcer says Spier turned 22. He’s 74 this year.

[@thomaswolf723]

Here, Ferguson Jenkins just pitched his 11th consecutive complete game. Nowadays, most pitchers, including very good ones, will not pitch 11 complete games in their careers.

[@anthonybrooks5040]

Strange times indeed, but we are in the "specialty" age. It's news nowadays if a starting pitcher records more than two complete games in a season! Asides from broadcasting next to the late, great Harry Carey for the Cubs, I'll always remember Steve Stone for striking out the side (part of 3 perfect innings) as a Baltimore Oriole (his Cy Young season) in the 1980 all-star game at L.A.

[@jsd795]

267 complete games in his career according to baseball reference. What a workhorse and even though he is in the HOF it seems like he is underrated and almost forgotten.

[@jamesnakamura]

Fergie Jenkins facing Willie McCovey! Wow! It's so cool to watch Stretch hit (even though he went 0-3). It's like I'm a kid again. Can you imagine what Jenkins would make in today's game putting up his numbers and workload?

I have missed this game the first two times it was up here. THANK YOU, THANK YOU for putting it up again. I will make sure to watch it this time. Thank you again. We need more of these games from the days of black and white television. Especially the NBC Game of the Week

[@zxccxz164]

what is really interesting is how many times they call dave kingman a SPEEDSTER!!!!

[@LarryBarkerPBP100]

The game was telecast in color. No color recording of the game has survived because NBC, in those days, made a habit of erasing tapes so they could be used again. This is a kinescope (basically a film camera aimed at the TV) that was filmed in black and white.

[@jaycompany4886]

Bobby bonds, what a player....i remember when he came to yanks, tremendous of the field too...father was no slouch compare with his famous son...his son was a great ballplayer but, the serious steriods scandal is going to keep him off the hof.

I hope it does keep him out of the HOF, btw, I’m a Giants fan.

[@nealbfinn]

‘72 was a long season for us Giants fans. We were coming off a division title and looking forward to the future. But they stumbled out of the gate and never recovered. Fifth place finish. Mays traded to Mets. Marichal’s first losing season. Spent all the money for artificial turf and couldn’t draw

[@anthonyblengino4927]

The ol’ Gaylord for McDowell trade didn’t work out so well.

[@zxccxz164]

Just looking at roster hard to believe.

[@eddiesimms9301]

Ron Santos is a Seattle native, and a graduate of Franklin Hi School, infact, both he and my Mother were classmates. He played in the PCL which produced some great talent, Joe DiMaggio, Orlando Cepeda, Willie MaCovey and many more. Both my Mother and Ron Santos have since passed...R.I.P. In closing, I think the MLB writer's who play a MAJOR role in deciding WHO is eligible to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, in my opinion, DID NOT do Ron Santos justice by nominating him long after his death due to losing his battle with diabetes. The MAN was a SOLID player !!

[@paulpenniman1023]

Yes, he said that ALL the time. I thought about this for years, and I think what happens is the rotational speed gets translated to rectilinear speed, so less rotation but a faster linear speed. I haven't confirmed this with anyone knowledgeable, though!

[@MrDougman59]

Giants had made the NLCS the year before but were really starting to feel their age and suffered from injuries during 1972. Marichial was done and Perry traded, McDowell was nearing his end. Needed to make changes, Maddox replacing Mays while heartbreaking was needed. McCovey had possibly his worst year. One void in the line up not mentioned was catcher Dick Dietz who placed on waivers. One of best batting eyes in the business; collected a ton of walks. I believe he was cast off because of union activity.
