The broadcast of this game was replayed on YES this week after the Yankees' game was rained out. It's featured on the Yankees' propoganda TV network all the time. But I've never seen it from beginning to end, and it took place right before I started watching baseball as a kid. I should spend some time and watch the whole thing. But this time I saw the game when I was at work, so I only had time to glance at the first inning. A co-worker and I were commenting on what we saw. Among the brilliant observations: The Royals' road uniforms in 1976 were VERY blue. I sort of remember them as a light, powder blue, but these were more vivid blue, neon blue. Bright. They looked uncomfortable to wear. But I suppose if you could wear rainbow stripes across your chest, a star on your belly and an orange hat on your head, then you could wear some bright blue jammies. It was shocking how young George Brett looked in that game. He had been in the majors for three years at that point...
Up all hours talking baseball, cardboard & collecting
