@NickInfante92 Imagine how much more he'd have done if he started playing pro ball before he was 28! Not to mention he was a world class track star and one of the great college players.
A great man.

@smileytonya The old host was maybe the best host I've seen on TV... he's so good at managing the festivities

This man had a great career
6× All-Star selection (1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954)

@smileytonya When WML was revived, John Daly was unavailable. G-T still wanted a host who had a news background, like Daly did. Wally Bruner was the best they could find (he had been a reporter for ABC News). When Bruner left to host a different show ("Wally's Workshop") and Daly didn't want to come back, G-T picked a host without a news background (Larry Blyden).

Class personified

It's amazing how much difference a good host makes to a show such as this one. John Charles Daly was perfectly suited to this program while Mr. Bruner has a different kind of personality that just doesn't work here. He seems so out of place. He'd have been better on a trivia game show rather than one that requires a sense of humor and playful banter.

I think the "time limit" sort of took the fun away.

Jackie would have been one of the greatest players in baseball history had he started at age 18-19 as Hank Aaron, Willie Mays and many other greats did.
The fact that he started playing at age 28 and hit .311 for his career, in an era of great pitching, speaks volumes. He is very underrated as a player.

Our school bus used to drive by Jackie Robinson's house on Cascade Road along the North Stamford Reservoir. For a couple of years (1963-1965) we went to the Congregational Church that Jackie attended that was just down the street.

One of the very few people who's autograph I would ask for. Came from a time when ballplayers had class and dignity in public.

This host has no sense of humor. The old host was 20 million times better.
