I missed work on Friday. I had to stay home sick. A real rarity for me. First time at my current workplace (been here 15 years) and probably the second time in my work life. Stayed put on Saturday too.
The good news is I discovered something incredibly fantastic. MLB TV. It is a channel that we added a while back. I have watched it some, but not being a big TV watcher I have not really investigated the channel.
This cold / flu thing had me so miserable that all I could really do was lie on the couch and move my channel surfing finger.
The MLB channel is so cool. I watched games from my youth. Games from 1968. World Series game. Curt Gowdy's voice and Tony Kubek reporting. Amazing. I watch World Series Newsreels from 1947 and beyond. It was incredible.
Plus they have other shows, here it is from their website, my words in italics:
All-Time Games
Feel the excitement all over again as we relive your favorite exciting regular and post season games with All Time Games on MLB Network. (real games shown as if they were happening right now!)
Baseball's Seasons
A look at some of baseball's most compelling seasons. (A documentary on ONE season)
Diamond Demo
Where MLB analysts, visiting players and coaches demonstrate hitting, pitching, fielding and coaching techniques from MLB Network's Studio 42. (Tips from THE GUYS!)
Studio 42 with Bob Costas
Meet legends and gain a new sense of history from those who created it. (Okay, even I admit he can be a bit sappy, AND I hate it when he tries to act like he likes Mickey Mantle more than I DO, ' cause he can't, no matter how may time he refers to him as the "Mick")
This channel is must watch TV, should you watch TV. And do not be afraid to check out a baseball history book based on something you see here.
