Here is a treat, posted by a FAFIF reader: WOR video from the heart of the 1980 season. Dig on Steve Albert, Doug Flynn, the Big Apple Band, John Pacella (cap on), Jim Kaat, Banners Like They Ought to Be and Walt "Clyde" Frazier for Manufacturers Hanover.

Yep. That innovative Joe Torre started his catcher at first and was rewarded with an RBI double in the first. Sadly, it didn't all work out in the end.

Yup.

Can you believe we lost this one in 12?

At the rate Neil Allen is going, we'll be lucky to get a coked out first baseman for him in a couple of years.

All this time I thought Eck was an original with his black hair and thin stache. But all's he's doin' is stealin' Ken Reitz's look from 1980.
