Last night was the latest edition of Brewers Classics on Fox Sports North. It was Game Three of the 1982 ALCS.
Keith Jackson, Jim Palmer, and Earl Weaver were the commentators for ABC. It was fun to watch a game without ten replays between each pitch. However, I will grant that it was tough to watch a game without the score and inning reminder along the top of the screen.
The most jarring part of the broadcast was Jackson promoting the Saturday's regional football games. Included with undefeated Washington vs. Cal and Southern Mississippi vs. Mississippi State was Holy Cross vs. Colgate? Think about that. Holy Cross and Colgate on ABC in 1982. Wow.
Things that I remembered after watching the game last night:
It was fun to see Robin Yount score from first on a double by Cecil Cooper
Gorman Thomas was not your prototypical centerfielder but he got the job done
There was a Jeffrey Maier moment for a Brewer fan on an Angels home run for Bob Boone
Paul Molitor could crush the ball when he connected just right
