They’ve arranged to have the Ken Burns special Baseball available on streaming video for free! You can sit in your home and watch all or part and not have to get out, or wash your hands for several hours!

Not sure how long it will be available but currently you can access it here https://www.pbs.org/show/baseball/



Ken.

This is awesome. Watching now!

I couldn't get it on PBS so I checked YouTube. Ta Da

Not the same video Jerry, but nonetheless good also. Thanks for the link.

Ken

I'm an Astros fan but I found this one amusing....

Thanks, Jerry!

Interesting article today on Mlb.com https://www.mlb.com/news/1885-world-ser ... d-in-a-tie
Baseball was obviously a pretty wild game in the 1800’s!

He can't be a very knowledgable writer on the subject of baseball. The first World Series was played in 1903.

I just thought it was an interesting story. I don’t know anything about the author. At the bottom of the story it says he’s a writer for MLB.com.

Ken

Interesting article, I love baseball history.
The World Series as we know it, did in fact, originate in 1903. Prior to that, there were post season series played to determine a champion. These were called by various names, including World Series.

Today would have been Opening Day

That’s a bummer!

But as a consolation prize, if you’re suffering you can watch a replay of one of your favorite team’s big games. https://www.mlb.com/news/opening-day-at-home For free! Check the link provided to see what games are being shown.

Rangers fans will be able to re-live the 2010 AL Championship Series win, which sent them to the World Series. Oh, I forgot, they beat the damnYankees!

Ken

Watching Game 7. 2016 WS.

GO CUBBIES!!!!

For anyone interested in reliving the Nats magical World Series run.

Hopefully nobody is taking bets on these games

If someone had a video cassette player I could watch the Reds win their last division championship! ftd

I’m trying to get some bets. Contacted a few of those folks that have been buying counterfeits on eBay - I’ll let you know as soon as I get a nibble!

I watched that game again last night. That Rangers line-up was something! The sweetest part was watching the last out of the game, when A-Rod struck out! Still can’t stand him!

If you guys get any money I'll split it with you.

I stated in an earlier post that I am a big fan of baseball history. Here is one of my favorite old photos, Spring Training with Gehrig at the end of his career and Joe D. In his 3rd season.

Ike, have you made it to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown? Whether you’re a devout follower or casual fan, it should be on every bucket list.

You are so right Ken.
My wife and I went there to see Ryne Sandberg inducted.
The HOF is amazing. Hope to go back someday.

No, I have not, but yes, iti is definitely on my list. Hope to do it in conjunction with a few other stops, like Bradford, Pa. Even tho I am not a Case collector, I also look at that as a "must do"

Pretty cool, David, that you saw Sandberg inducted. As one who has become just a general fan of all baseball, but was a big time Cardinal fan in the 60s on up......I can't think of Sandberg without remembering that 2 HR off Sutter game.
