Your home for Ralph Kiner video. Like this 1950's Wheaties commercial: [youtube:2k803e7n]IrtK9orlfNM[/youtube:2k803e7n]

We all knew we would be losing Ralph more sooner than later... I hope that doesn't sound insensitive. What I mean is that this wasn't something that was shocking or surprising. In that way, we were prepared emotionally, or I was (shouldn't speak for all), when this happened. Therefore I was not upset emotionally. I joined the masses in talking and reading about him, and thought in terms of he had a good, full life. Then I saw this video a blogger was sharing. Its just Ralph signing a few baseballs this last summer. When I saw the effort it took (at 90), and the time he gave to each autograph to assure the signature would look good, it brought a tear to my eye. I think I'm going to find out that Ralph's even classier than I imagined he was. [youtube:2y0ytru5]YOQVpPxhW90[/youtube:2y0ytru5]

April 5, 1983. There's not a second of this that isn't delectable. It's like a video creampuff. [youtube:13ltxlch]ElNwYTepz1E[/youtube:13ltxlch]

Seaver all poised and polished at the butt end of his career and Siskie all rumpled and awkward --- in the flower of his youth but somehow seeming older.

This is only audio, but it's worth listening. Guests include Yogi Berra, Ed Kranepool, Rusty Staub, Felix Millan, Tom Seaver, Tug McGraw and Cleon Jones ... [youtube:1bocjhof]DxzoEUeA7QA[/youtube:1bocjhof]

This is strangely interesting:

It was a crappy car, I think. Maybe a sponsor thing. Funny how he made his eights.

Nice to see Scully still reporting to camp early. How many other MLB figures can give you first hand descriptions of watching Kiner hit? [youtube:5o9owea0]k4HSxYFX_XM[/youtube:5o9owea0]
