Thanks for posting this video.Although I was a Cleveland fan in 1968, this Detroit team is without question my favorite of all time.McClain 30++ I loved watching St.Louis get beat. THANKS AGAIN. I am not in great health , and I love looking back on "BETTER TIMES ,

I was in the locker room as a reporter for ABC Sports (burgundy sport coat with tape recorder slung around my neck). As the team filed in you can see me watching for Al Kaline. My interview with Kaline was on ABC the next morning. I was thoroughly sprayed with champagne but avoided a dunking in the whirlpool tub. Wonderful memories. How cool to finally see this after 43 years. Thanks for posting this.

Ernie Harwell sounds similar to Dick Enberg

Thank you for posting this. 1967 was such a terrible year, and this helped to heal a lot wounds back home.

I feel old. I was too young to remember the world series but a couple of those guys were still playing by time I started going to ball games, like kaline and mickey stanley.

I grew up listening to George Kell and Ernie Harwell, 2 of the best ever!!

Excellent! Boston born, raised, & a Sox fan. But... Love the Tigers as well. Great storied team. '68 was incredible! Family still has an autographed ball from McClain when they came to Fenway during the regular season. What a team!
