One of the great things about these old broadcasts, the announcer don’t have to talk incessantly. No constant cuts to some one on the sidelines with useless tidbits. Just watch the game and relax

Exactly right. Nowadays you get bombarded with analytics that aren't too important.

Also, you don’t see players acting like spoiled brats on the field, grabbing their crotch or other obscene things. They don’t stand at home plate and gawk at their home runs either.

I was 8 years old and in the 3rd grade in NYC. I would rush home from school to catch the last 2 or 3 innings of these games.

You can say that again. This is the 1st game on TV I watched at 7 years old. Yankees have been my favorite team & Mantle all time favorite player ever since. I was born in LA.

I'm a retro Boston Braves fan. Watched this in a bittersweet way. The core of that 1957 Milwaukee Braves lineup was X Boston Braves players (or minor leaguers). If they only lasted 1 more year in Boston, they would have been a contending team and might have won that World Series in Boston eventually. A fun what might have been to muse over.

The rightfielder for the Braves, Bob Hazle,, got the moniker "Hurricane" Hazle after he was recalled from the minors in mid summer after center fielder Billy Bruton suffered a season ending knee injury. Hazle hit .403. He played right field while Hank Aaron took Bruton's spot in center. There actually was a deadly hurricane the year before, called Hazel, which killed 469 people in the mid-Atlantic area

A pack of baseball cards cost 5 cents in 1957 you would have to pay over $1,000 dollars for that never opened pack now especially if it was the Mickey Mantle series with a chance to pull a Mantle.

At the time it happened, no one other than maybe The Mick himself knew he’d seriously injured his right shoulder on that pickoff play with Red Schoendienst at 2nd base @7:30. His shoulder was never the same, and his ability to hit left-handed was compromised throughout the rest of his career. Makes me scream every time I see it. He still had a hit and a homer his next two times up which I attribute as much to adrenaline as his competitiveness. Mickey Mantle was one star crossed ballplayer, but one helluva ballplayer nonetheless.

Joe Adcock takes a full swing with 2 strikes @ 1:16:00. The umpire rules checked swing. No checking with the 1st base umpire. It was a hitter's league in those days.

In the 8th inning of Game 7 of the 1960 World Series between the Yankees and Pirates, Hal Smith of the Pirates took a nearly full swing at a pitch with 2 outs and 2-2 count. After this "checked swing" he hit a key home run that turned a Pirates 7-6 deficit into a Pirates 9-7 lead. Later, Bill Mazeroski won the game in the 9th with his famous home run. He would not now be famous if not for the Hal Smith "checked" swing not being called a third strike.

@@thomaswolf723 Hal Smith clearly went around on the previous pitch of his HR. The way I understand it, was whether he breaks his wrist or not.

Back in the day when P.A. announcers only announced the players in the lineup first time through, then only when there were changes in the lineup, or between innings. Now P.A. announcers announce the players every time up.

That’s not even correct. You can hear the announcer saying the batter’s name every time they come to plate.

It's really hard to see those old broadcasts. I lived back then, but I like today with color and sharp contrast. And the game was so slow back then. Boring.

@sec9788 2 ай бұрын

What do you mean?! The game moved along pretty good. It got bloated with more commercials and pitching changes as time went on. Not to mention the DH and numerous mound visits…

@ronaldmayle1823 2 ай бұрын

@@sec9788 Yes, but now there is a clock on the pitcher and batter. Now relief pitchers have to at least pitch to 3 batters in stead of changing pitchers for every batter in late innings. Pitchers only get three throws to hold a runner at first base. Coaches coming out to argue balls or strikes gets thrown out. None of this happened in the "old" days.
