Nothing before 1943? The mid 1970s PBS show "The Way it Was" had an episode on the 1936 World Series.

"junky"?

3. Crispix Attacks Posted: October 14, 2009 at 11:11 PM (#3352409)

"Junky" is an acceptable spelling of "junkie". Kind of unfavored nowadays though, like "hippy" and "cooky".

I believe you can thank William Burroughs for that...

But what exactly is covered during each World Series? Just the highlights?
Are there bonus features (downloadable stats, images, commentary tracks, trivia)?

6. Tom Nawrocki Posted: October 15, 2009 at 12:16 AM (#3352438)

From the lengths, it doesn't look like there are any full games on there. So what do you get? Any full innings, or some key at bats and a bunch of talking heads?

They've remastered all the games with Sterling and Waldman.

I assume it will be the Lew Fonseca highlight films that are always airing on MLB Network.

I'm pretty tired of people not knowing how to spell foreword.

10. Into the Void Posted: October 15, 2009 at 01:12 AM (#3352468)

It would be pretty cool if they could get Joe Buck and Chip Caray to announce all of the games.

You said it.

Can't wait until it is a torrent.

13. Halofan Posted: October 15, 2009 at 06:42 AM (#3352612)

They need to remaster them with Statler and Waldorf.

14. Maholm Shuffle Posted: October 15, 2009 at 06:52 AM (#3352614)

Bob Costas = small forward

Yep, and for the first 15 or 20 years, you might as well be watching a silent movie. You should rent a year or two from Netflix, or watch it on the Baseball Channel before you think about plunking down 180 bucks, trust me.

That would be my guess as well...

To remove them?
