I agree, I really enjoyed When It Was A Game, all 3. I'd like to edit it down one day, cut out the Clown Prince of Baseball stuff, maybe a couple of the song montages... I like the film clips but the songs are too 'cute'. Totally worth watching, though.
There's some series that's about a Golden Era of baseball, when the Yankees, Giants, and Dodgers were all in New York, it's about baseball in the last half of the 40's up to when the wrecking ball bashes Ebbett's Field, as I recall.

Frank, I think you're referring to the "Baseball's Golden Age" Series. There's something like 13 episodes, I believe they usually air on Fox Sports Net...

That could be it. I have 2 VHS tapes of it. Not recorded from broadcast, but original programs. What I have wasn't broken into 13 programs, it was close to 2 hours on each tape. Mel Allen might have narrated it. Never looked for it on dvd.

Frank, Could you by chance be thinking of the films that came with that "Reel Baseball:Baseball's Golden Era"?

The HBO documentary on Ted Williams is excellent. There's a short doc on the Brooklyn Dodgers called "Dem Bums" which is okay. I enjoyed the "Only the Ball Was White" documentary, but again, only a half hour. There's an excellent one on Babe Ruth from a while back by HBO, but mine is VHS, so it may not be on DVD. Said Greenburg doc is awesome.
