October 29, 1996-Yankees World Series Victory Parade (WNBC)

-My recording of the Yankees first parade through the Canyon of Heroes in 18 years! WNBC coverage anchored by Chuck Scarborough, Sue Simmons and Len Berman. We also see Al Roker, Michele Marsh (RIP) and John Johnson (Marsh and Johnson had just joined WNBC after being fired by WCBS a few weeks earlier) in the coverage along the way. Coverage runs through the honoring of the team at City Hall (where the speakers include Joe DiMaggio, the last championship parade he got to take part of since he was too ill two years later for the 1998 parade prior to his death in early 1999).
-WABC and WCBS coverage is also available on YT. I'm glad to offer another channel's perspective of what was a great day for Yankee fans!

Man Yankee fans were hungry for this one. 18 years is an eternity for the greatest franchise of all-time

@@brandon_e24 being real with you i wasnt even alive for the last 18 years LOL the feeling of missing out something you were never alive for is real, especially for us younger yankees fans

@@andyways Same here I’m only 30 but you can feel that excitement/anticipation just by watching 1996 content. And to come back from the dead going down 2-0 at home to the Braves

@@brandon_e24 I'd experienced 77 and 78 at ages 8 and 9. The sensation of 18 years to this championship was the tripling of one's life and seemed like an eternity which was why it was special (plus the fact that in 77 and 78 most of us didn't have VCRs and thus we couldn't re-watch the last championships at will).
