The Bronx is Burning, real-life version

[Johnny Dangerously]

ESPN Classic is airing Game 6 of the 1977 World Series. Joe DiMaggio just threw out the first pitch.

I predict Reggie will go yard on three consecutive pitches.

If you include his last at-bat from Game 5, he actually homered on four consecutive pitches

David Aldridge is reporting they aren't showing that game right now, but good point.

No Joe, he walked in the second inning of Game 6 before hitting the 3 HRs.

4 consecutive SWINGS!

Munson. :'(

 

[Johnny Dangerously]

Forgot about the walk.

 

[EStreetJoe]

Forgot about the walk.

So did I.

Funny thing....the players look so....small.

And no one in the stands is wearing $150 replica jerseys.

 

[Johnny Dangerously]

Yeah, the players look ... like real people. That's always the first thing that hits me when I watch a game from 20-30 years ago.

 

[Johnny Dangerously]

It's also kind of nice to watch a baseball game without so much clutter on the screen and all the other annoying bells and whistles in a Fox telecast.

 

[Bob Cook]

Maybe they'll throw in a FrankTV promo, you know, just to make the time warp a little less jarring.

And a Guiseppe Franco commercial.

Check Garvey's reaction when Reggie hits No. 3 .. if you can see it.

Anybody else think Yankee Stadium was on fire when you read this thread title?

Next thing you know, it's chaos. And i can tell you this: Chaos does not work for the New York Yankees. Not as long as I'm running the show.
