NBC Opening - 1979 MLB Allstar Game

[deweycheethamandhowe]

The 1979 All-Star game. The one and only time it was held in the Kingdome. Lee Mazzili had his big moment with a game tying solo shot in the 8th, but Dave Parker was the star. And this time it was not his bat, but his cannon of an arm that wowed everyone. He had two assists, throwing out Jim Rice as he tried to stretch a double into a triple and throwing out Brian Downing at home with what is still the best throw from the outfield to home I have ever seen.

@deweycheethamandhowe This was the only time the NBC Game of the Week crew broadcasted from Seattle. Crazy to think

NBC needs to get the game back, I am tired of Fox and their pimping of their latest TV shows every few seconds!

That would be cool if you post the whole game.

That's nice.  Give yourself a cookie.

What's the deal with capitalizing every word?
