Man, I miss the days we weren't so inundated with sports highlight shows and talking heads. During the week, you get a little segment on the local news, and newspaper box scores, then Mel Allen on the weekend. Golden age.

Agreed - it seems like the talking heads try to be THE highlight - as much as I like Chris Berman …I think it started with him …when god made Mel Allen he broke the mould

It's once a week occurrence made the show special and far more appealing. Mel Allen made it all that more so. Let me also add, a time when players coaches said out loud what was on their minds far more often........no matter what the sport.

Great to see the Tigers start of their greatest season ever. 35-5. They led wire to wire and won the World Series that fall. Bless You Boys!

Nearly 40 years later, the Tampa Bay Rays are trying to do the same thing as the '84 Tigers with their unprecedented 27-6 start.

Yeah I remember that. I had just turned 2. The Braves and Yankees were my favorite teams. Back then you could have two because they didn’t have the abomination of interleage play, so you were good as long as they didn’t meet in October. Yeah…Gibson was amazing, but Gossage looked like a fool.

Just unreal, when baseball was likable. Wish we can turn the clock back. Mel Allen was born to do this show. His voice, tone and likability just shined through. The ending song was so inspirational and moving. What a sham the sport has become.

10:17 The Phillies would of had Julio Franco, Ryne Sandberg and Lonnie Smith leading off for them ... but no... let's trade em. The biggest miracle was the 1983 wheeze kids The Phils kept: Joe Morgan, Pete Rose, Tony P.

4:50 Dave Kingman got no respect. He hit 35 in his last year (1986) and no MLB team would sign him? Well, he's certainly in my HOF.

@CarlosReyes-qe2iq No different than Rhys Hopkins who struck out over 200x. Also, look at Kingman's 1979 stats. If he had stayed in Chicago, he woulda piled up Schmidt type numbers.

@CarlosReyes-qe2iq You can't say that about Kingman's 3 year stint at Wrigley. 1979: 97r 153h 48hr 115rbi .288avg Of course, you are proven correct when he returns to Mets in 1981.... but! Dave goes to Oakland where his stats are comparable to Schmidt, Gorman Thomas, etc.

I'm going to predict that if the Cardinals get John Tudor in the off season they'll get to the World Series in 1985. They'll have all the pitching they'll need. For the Lineup they should get Jack Clark and have him play 1b. I bet that'll work. I'm going to make a bold prediction the Chicago Cubs are going to make it to the playoffs in 84.
