The Great American Baseball Box
Shout! Factory's Great American Baseball Box is intriguing. I wouldn't pay sixty bucks for it, though. I've gone through periods of collecting old radio broadcasts and news reports, and that sort of stuff doesn't exactly have the most replay value. And it doesn't include my personal all-time favorite call, Skip's "Braves win! Braves win! Braves win!" from game seven of the '92 NLCS (a game, I am obligated to mention, I attended, and that old high school "chum" Puya Davoodi left before the ninth inning). It would be cool to have those last three discs handy, but I doubt they'd ever spend much time in my jambox. So, yeah, not worth sixty bucks. I would love to hear Hank talk about the pressure of try, though.
