This one is a favorite of my four-year-old baseball-loving son and me. Although it's quite dated (it came out long before the great Sosa/McGwire homer chase of 1998), it has plenty of treats from the past, including George Brett's pine-tar home run; the surprising extra-inning game-tying homer by relief pitcher Rick Camp that tied a "wacky, wild, improbable" game between the Mets and Braves in 1985; the only home run ever hit by Duane Kuiper in his 3,379 major league at-bats; Mike Schmidt's dramatic homer vs. the Expos in the second to last game of the 1980 season that won the division for the Phillies ("What a wild scene here in Montreal!"), and many others.

All the most famous ones (through 1992) are here - Aaron's 715th, Bobby Thomson's 1951 playoff "shot heard 'round the world", Roger Maris's 61st, the 500th homers of Schmidt, Banks and Mantle, the 600th of Mays. All with the original announcers. I'll never tire of hearing Russ Hodges yell, "The Giants win the pennant" over and over; or of Milo Hamilton's classic call on Aaron's record-breaker. And the master of ceremonies is the legendary announcer Mel Allen, whose voice and humor lends lots of charm. A real winner, this video.
