  1. I’ve been watching the games on DVD this past week, and these broadcasts are so much more enjoyable than the modern day World Series broadcasts are (in just about every aspect of the telecast).

  2. Look at the talent they had…Scully and Garagiola in the booth…Marv Albert and Bob Costas were basically sideline reporters. They didn’t overwhelm with technology like they do now…infrared cameras, radar on every pitch.

    1. and it wasn’t a barrage of advertising on the broadcast, either intentional or background. Vin Scully would read sponsors once or twice coming out of a commercial break, and the player of the game was sponsored by a beer company, but that was it. no ads for tv shows, no ads for anything else.

      and one other thing i noticed watching the DVDs is the camera angles from replays that i really don’t remember any other times watching games at Shea and Fenway. good camera angles too.

      no scorebugs or network logos stuck on the screen. when something was on the screen, it was big enough to read and didn’t live there so it wasn’t intrusive.
