@GBev2K - actually after 1971 more and more Series games were scheduled at night, when television audiences were larger.

There's just never been another figure in sports quite like Howard Cosell.

Nice! The things I remember the most from this one was Huey Lewis and the News National Anthem (at their peak of popularity) and how Gooden and Fernando struck out 6 straight AL hitters.

Howard Cosell's voice can just never be imitated. It's just never forgettable. It's that good.
