Apparently it's all baseball all the time around here, huh?
I have a box full of old VHS tapes, and I'm trying to sort through them to see what, if anything, is worth transferring to DVDs. One of the prizes I found is the complete game between the Sox and Blue Jays in 1986 - the game which clinched the AL East for the Red Sox.
I thought some lifelong Sox fans would get a nostalgic trip out of seeing this old clip, featuring the voice of Dana Hersey introducing the game, the spectacular video effects in the opening montage, and an awesome soundtrack guaranteeing that an exciting game is to follow.
In addition to the game, I have a lot of post-game coverage that I need to mine through.
Other discovered tapes include the Patriots' "Squish the Fish" game from the '85/'86 playoffs, and the complete broadcast of Superbowl XX (when the Bears destroyed them). I have a couple of 1986 Red Sox Playoff games, too ... so much good stuff.
I may start a separate page or a new video blog to highlight some of this stuff, assuming it transfers well digitally. Some of these tapes haven't been played in 20 years, so who knows if they're even still watchable (or if our old VCR will eat them first).
Regardless, enjoy Ned Martin and Bob Montgomery from the days before Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy - in fact, from the days before NESN even existed.
