This Week in Baseball with Mel Allen (RIP). I'd be willing to watch re-runs from the 70's if someone would show them.

Only if they play it back-to-back with reruns of the Baseball Bunch:

I used to fill a VHS tape with episodes of TWIB all season and watch it all winter to aid in my baseball withdrawal.

...and then I thought about some things I've seen over the years, when TV put me where history was being made:

1. A CBS program with Edward R. Murrow, called Omnibus, took us LIVE to the final dynamite blasts that allowed the waters of the St, Laurence River to flow freely into the Atlantic, opening up the seaway that made the Great Lakes into a route for World trade.

2. Live convention coverage when the convention really meant who would become presidential candidates. Some dogs, but also some incredible ones such us 52 when the Eisenhower and Taft contest went to the wire, and 60 with Kennedy and Johnson for the Dems and Nixon, Goldwater and Rockefeller at the GOP.

3. CBS taking us live to watch Oswald being transferred from the county jail to federal custody, jumping when the gun went off.

4.Watching the Kennedy funeral. First time I saw my father cry--and he was a republican!

5. Watching the actual vote in Congress that took us to war in Operation Desert Storm.

6. So many Buckeye moments, but let's condense them into a damn near day long series of shows that predicted how badly Miami was going to kick ass followed by that incredible overtime win.

Jealousy is not one of the seven virtues. But just for the record I heard the last Joe Louis, Jersey Joe Walcott fight. I was not listening when the Hindenberg crashed.
