Don Larsen's perfect game from 1956 is available. As far as I know, it's complete - or really, really close to it. They've shown it on MLB Network many times.

The entire 1968 World Series is available.

A Monday Night Baseball game from 1976 is available with Mark Fidrych starting against the New York Yankees.

There's the aforementioned Bing Crosby game. That's the famous game 7 of the 1960 World Series with Mazeroski's HR. This one was released commercially on DVD and is widely available.

Other than that, not sure what all is available.

Check out iTunes. Specifically search "MLB The Vault"

I'll have to check that out.

There's a Red Sox game from 67, I think a World Series game. It's been shown at least once, and is supposedly the oldest complete Sox game. If I recall correctly they said the next oldest complete game is 71.

The NCAA (Or is it NBA? I forget which) Claims to have NCAA finals back into the 40's. I checked on one and found they'd make a dvd for $250!
I bought the film negative of it for much less and did a digital conversion- not cheap unless you now someone with the special projector.

If I remember correctly, they didn't have the first inning of the Larsen perfect game.

Just so you know, no one got a hit off Larsen in the 1st.

Also, thanks Chris W for the MLB Vault link on iTunes. Those are FREE! I'm downloading them right now.

Anyone know where I can get any more old (20's-60's) radio broadcasts of MLB games?

Thanks for the tip on MLB Vault!

My favorite is the first HOF induction. Very cool.

A little more recent, Len Barker's perfect game from 1981 should be available on DVD. They show it here in Cleveland frequently.
