Happy to do it. And if you haven't heard the GOTT audio set, I highly recommend that, too! (Slight disclaimer: I produced it!)

Here is an article I wrote with a lot of GOTT history in it:

Default Battered Bastards, Bing Russell, and Andy Griffith

So I'm looking for something to watch last night and decide to re-watch the Battered Bastards of Baseball -- prompted by this thread. I had actually forgotten a lot of the story -- and what an incredible story it is.

At any rate, I generally start my day (around 5:30) with a hot tea and an episode of Andy Griffith (I stream and watch them in order -- all 249 episodes)

So I'm watching the "Loaded Goat" episode this morning, and I see a guy that looks really familiar -- and quickly realize it is Bing Russell

Man what a charmed life that guy lead.

Have to bump for the Thanksgiving weekend marathon of Baseball on MLB network. Seen it numerous times like everyone here but so good every time. Being from NY and watching the Capital of Baseball episode really hits home. Just remembering stories from my dad about Duke, Willie and the Mick and seeing those stories on TV really cements why a majority of us are here. Hope everyone has had a similar experience!

The Capital of Baseball episode is by far my favorite.

When I was a kid I had a VHS tape called "Forever Fenway, 75 years of Red Sox Baseball". I wore that tape out I watched it so much. Still to this day, its awesome and really draws me in.

I have always enjoyed the 1995 Hank Aaron TBS documentary about his career. If anyone has a DVD copy to sell, I'd buy it.

I found loads of old MLB games on YouTube today. I'm making my way through all 5 games of the 1969 WS as originally broadcast (with commercials too).

Game 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elbNfb4JU6g&t
Game 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkrgeRIHHB0&t
Game 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHSksQbNZD4&t
Game 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6WsUXf0TRM
Game 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbCWUehZKVU&t

I've noticed lots of other WS games too.

Just watched on Netflix. That was fun. Been meaning to watch it for years. Great story and well done.
