I am jazzed that 1) the MLB Network is finally hitting the airwaves soon and 2) my TV provider will be carrying it. Alex forwarded me a note about one new feature of the network: Studio 42 named of course for Jackie, which “will allow the MLB Network experts to explain the intricate details of the game.”
So there’s that. Excitement mounting, I checked the schedule for the very first day, January 1st. The words “Brooklyn Dodgers” jumped out immediately when the page loaded. Then the full description dampened my enthusiasm:
1956 World Series Game 5 Brooklyn Dodgers @ NY Yankees featuring Don Larsen’s Perfect Game. Stay Tuned Following the Conclusion of the Game for a Sit-Down Interview with Batterymates Don Larsen and Yogi Berra
Of course they have that game. ;D More seriously, I’ll enjoy watching it, but hopefully some day they’ll show a certain Dodger game versus the Cubs on September 9, 1965.
