Thanks for the heads up. I'm so antsy for baseball, I'm going to watch this game as if I have no idea what happens.

Eh, this is unwatchable ... the production values are horrible. I guess I'm spoiled by today's HD productions.

Bob Costas still gives me goosebumps.

ozzie smith was a pretty good defender

Bob Costas the play-by-play man is much much better than Bob Costas the baseball history rambler.

I haven't seen this game since watching it live in '84. I'll never forget Costas saying "Barring a miracle, Willie McGee is our ____ player of the game." right before Sandberg hit the 2nd HR then him saying "hold everything" afterwards.

Have really enjoyed catching this replay on MLB TV, but am surprised no one has yet mentioned the extraordinarily high number of crowd shots of dudes in cutoffs and short shorts in the stands. It's like the bizarro world of today's WGN/CSN cameramen and their "we're going to call this the fancam but seriously look high and low for hot chicks in attendance."

 

Not unlike today's mindset that the Cubs' should annually compete, I dare say, the moment Cubs television producers declared "shenanigans" and demanded we the fans be shown hot chicks in the stands was indeed a turning point and a decision we should collectively salute. I applaud you, nameless leering cameraman with a creepy grin.

 

And, obviously, Bob Costas play-by-play is a pleasure.

This reads like one of those "Real Men of Genius" radio commercials.

Watched the game last night. Larry Bowa left whatever range he had in Philadelphia two years prior to that game.

I saw this game too yesterday. Boy was everyone skinny. Maybe it was just me, but the pithers seemed to throw a good 5 MPH slower back then. I liked Bowa's aviator sunglasses. I couldn't imagine wearing those playing baseball today.

I was amazed at how puny the players looked compared to the 1990s.

back then they used to make a big deal out of anyone that could throw 90 mph.

Gee, I wonder why the players were so much smaller in the 80s.

Evidently the continued greenie use by players in the 1990s and 2000s didn't offset the massive amount of steroid use.

I wish I had this channel :(

Apparently while watching this game with my father on WGN he jumped off of the couch when Sandberg hit the game tying HR and landed on one of my transformer toys (barefoot) cutting his foot open & requiring stitches. He brings this up at least once a season.

good times.
