Same. I grew up with Mel and TWiB.
As someone who didn't live in a team local broadcast area I had the Cubs (WGN), the Braves (TBS), and whatever random national broadcast or ESPN game was being showed.
TWiB filled in a lot of holes that short sports segment highlights couldn't...
When I was a teenager it was much the same, but at least Baseball Tonight showed up on ESPN in 1990+ and I could get a daily fix beyond a few minutes of highlights.
I love how you can watch everything now. Aside from regional team broadcast blackouts this is a golden age of televised baseball media content.
