One of the advantages of video archives and online rentals like Netflix (R) is that you can see MLB games from at least as far back as the 1970s.

So anyhoo, for example, I remember Jim Evans and Larry Barnett working the plate when they were still active. I also have seen them in their early days in their first world series plate games. Barnett in the infamous '75 World Series and Evans in the '77 World Series. Barnett was even using a balloon protector at the time.

Thoughts?
