    TWIB and the Tom Emanski commercial, like I'm 11 all over again.

    Absurd access to information these days, but there's just something about the simplicity back in the day.

    Amazing. You can watch the classic episodes on Apple TV. Highly recommend them.

    Wow -- I just got goosebumps hearing that This Week in Baseball theme song.

    That show was such a part of my childhood growing up in the '80's.

    Mel Allen's voice...the "TWIB Notes" segment...watching the best catches/highlights from the week (my folks didn't have cable so the only time I got to watch ESPN was when we went on trips and stayed at, like, a Best Western or something for the night).

    That clip was really well done and hit the nostalgic nerve DEEP.
