Trash is not a product, nor is a spider related to a ladybug! lol

[@Bigwave2003]

They couldn't answer whether a pogo stick is bigger than a bread box? Also, when Willie Mays was signing in someone seems to shout "Hey", a reference to Willie's nickname "The Say Hey Kid." This may have given the game away.

Freeze at 7:49 - 7:50 and look at something that hardly ever shows up anymore in color. The WML card drawing of the mustached investigator holding a magnifying glass showed up at the end of Sunday-night WML for years, but mostly in Black and White. It certainly appeared in color on Sunday-night color WML broadcast in 1966-1967, but no color WML Sunday night videotapes have yet surfaced -- though some evidence suggests tapes exist. So apparently the syndicated program used this color card with some regularity -- but this is really the only time I have ever seen it recorded on KZbin. Thanx for posting.

Freeze at 7:43 -- I did not know until the TV cameraman had to raise up the image slightly to capture Ottaway on his thing that the background set behind the panelists had yellow stars on top. And I watched the syndicated show fairly regularly when it was on Utah TV back in the 1970s and regularly on Game Network / You Tube, too. My question for the set designer: if those yellow stars never showed up on the TV image, why have them??

[@RJSchex]

+soulierinvestments Actually, they looked more like arrowheads.

[@RonGerstein]

There should not be a sound from the studio audience when there is the MG.

[@soulierinvestments]

Arlene was a huge Willy Mays fan. She identified him when he appeared on WML circa 1955.

I find it interesting that Willie doesn't know what catch Larry is referring to. It's most likely the one from game 1 of the 1954 World Series versus Cleveland. As a member of the New York Giants, he caught a long fly ball off the bat of Cleveland's Vic Wertz in center field at the Polo Grounds. That park had one of the longest centre fields in baseball at the time, 483 feet. To make up for it, it was a rather short distance to the foul poles.

[@PREGO1966]

I think he knew what catch it was, he was just being humble

[@barrykendrick3146]

+@@PREGO1966 I'm sure you're right. Willy did discuss it in his autobio. And as Larry says ~17:12 it was a catch & throw. It was obvious that he would not be able to throw the runner out as he did not have time to catch & throw the ball. He caught it & did a 360 spin, throwing the ball in one continuous motion: the runner was out!

[@RonGerstein]

All of the three Polo Giunds built on the site had an extremely long distance to the center field fence.

[@Danimal77]

That one person's extremely loud and obnoxious laugh is so annoying. They clearly just wanted attention. At one point, Jack even addressed the person directly and told him to settle down.

[@RJSchex]

"Fates' Law" was obviously not yet in play at this time.

[@pikeman80]

Spiders aren't insects.

[@RonGerstein]

Ask 1000 people and many think spiders are insects.

[@MarshalTennerWinter]

I looked it up and found that one Hop Rod sold on E-Bay for *$679*.

[@ccbsnyc]

It sounds very dangerous for children.

Horrible sport coat on Jack Cassidy.
