Well....a few months ago it was announced that an almost complete copy of the TV kinescope had been found - maybe someday it will be put out on DVD/shown somewhere....

Aptly chosen handle, troll. Be gone.

If I were pitching a perfect game, I wouldn't want the umpire to give me a call. I'd want to know that I deserved the perfect game. (As a 15-year-old, I did get through 22 batters in a school game before the 23rd batter got a single. Of course, that was the dead ball era, but that ump wasn't giving me anything.)

As an umpire, I would call the pitch as I saw it. A gift to the pitcher cheapens the value of a perfect game, just as handing out diplomas to illiterates cheapens the value of a degree.

And I've heard worse anti-Semitic comments from my Jewish business partner.

OK, no more feeding the troll.

That call that my man Bruce just made in the Padres/Brewers game was the absolute most brutal missed call I have EVER seen, and I've seen plenty (made a few too).

Jim Porter, please get a video of this. The runner was out by more than half a step. Froemming wasn't watching, he just assumed the runner was going to beat it out. I guess it really is time for him to hang it up.

Okay, now I'm whining about a call...but not 35 years later.
