What a treat! Graphics were sparse by today's standards. 34 years ago I didn't like Curt Gowdy as a broadcaster, looking back he seems fine (must have been college age rebelliousness). One unfortunate omission was in game 2. There was a short rain delay before the start of the ninth and someone interviewed Johnny Bench. Bench said he would try to take Bill "Spaceman" Lee the other way, which he did with a double to start a 2 run rally to win the game. But that interview isn't included. Game 6 is the most remembered but I think every game in that series has something worth seeing. A side note is the first two games at "Cozy Fenway Park where no lead is safe" is there was much pre game talk about the "Green Monster". There were no home runs in those two games. Game 3 at Riverfront, a larger ballpark, had 6. A few months ago I rented this series from Netflix. What a treat!
