World Series games during the day. What a beautiful thing.

Maybe the best sports uniforms ever: those vintage road Orioles' uniforms. The colors in grey with that awesome colorful cap.

[WelshKnight]

I love the look on Tom Seaver's face when he hears the umpire go off on the Orioles...clearly not expecting that.

[MattSmith-iqld]

This is a very calm Weaver response after an ejection.

[Dana-wqtp]

Earl stayed surprisingly calm throughout this exchange.

[sixtythreekraft]

Lindsey Nelson had to be one of the best announcers of all time.

[rstefanie]

If I close my eyes in listening to this I am 12 years old again. My God...where has the time gone?

[Jason_Maier]

My first World Series I remember watching coming home from school on a weekend afternoon and my mom turning on the old black and white Zenith TV for me to watch it. Never forget Curt Gowdy said well. Such fine memories as a child. Great days from unlike today simpler and better times.

Miss those day games, I was 10 and watching the series at school,

[doggonepointgooddogbacking]

@0:08 You can hear Earl's f-bomb, "You shift your 'f-ing' strike zone, just for him" and then, "You shut your God damned mouth." Every baseball fan, of a certain age, recognizes that voice. Love the reaction on Seaver's face. Being from the NL, Earl must have been a new experience for Seaver & Crawford. Earl was a treasure.

[jeromestracks]

Umpire Ron Luciano said it best about Earl Weaver:
He's not happy unless he's not happy

[DanStrayer]

Choice words on audio there. Couldn't quite filter it out in those days. Earl Weaver, baby!

[robschannel]

Day games, love um. And Earl Weaver.

[rpinpr]

Dave Johnson, future Mets '86 WS manager, made the final out in the '69 WS.

[Nighthawke]

"This is something special" all right. And The Earl of Baltimore made it extra spicy to give it kick.

[williamstalvey]

Lindsey Nelson and day time World Series#legendary

[leafyutube]

You're here for one specific reason. To f%&# us!!

[willdrucker]

Crawford to Weaver...”you shut your god da*ned mouth!!!”....somehow I don’t think Shag was thinking about the NBC mikes...lol
