I've been collecting MLB games on VHS since 1983,
and I've since transferred all my vintage games to DVD.
I have no use for the tapes and I'd hate to throw them out when I know
there are fans out there like me who would enjoy having these games
like I have.

I'm offering them to anyone who will give them a good home.
All I'm asking is the cost of shipping them, and I would prefer to
sell them by set. All games have been edited to remove commercials.

Oh man - just a word of advice. Don't ever delete the commercials.
Have you ever seen a retro-tv DVD where they leave commercials in?
They're hysterical! I saw one for a laundry detergent made in 1959
where two kids were beating the crap out of each other but by gawd,
that detergent removed all the stains! It was a hoot!

Well John,
I did keep the old Miller Lite Beer commercials or any other ones that
I thought were funny, but the majority were deleted.

Don't ever delete the good commercials, but it's a good idea to wipe
out the horrible ones. Imagine if the 2006 Cardinals make the World
Series and you tape the TV broadcasts. There will probably be Taylor
Hicks Ford commercials every two innings, ruining the atmosphere.

I have a tape of a movie that aired on KPLR late at night around the
beginning of 1990. During one commercial break, they have the
hilarious ad for the medical alert device in which the old woman
shouts, "I've fallen and I can't get up!"

Worse are the sponsors that smear their logos all over the screen
during the game. That and Fox's over the top, ridiculous robots and
crap that comes across the scoreboard.

Some of the older games are more fun to watch, I think, simply because
the players look thinner (no steroids) and there's less garbage.
Pretty soon they're going to start putting logos on the bases and
pitching rubber. I can see Century 21 putting their name on home
plate. We could also see the Tyson Chicken Fowl Pole.

Okay, I'm done. I hope it never comes to that.

With ideas like those if you're not in marketing, you ought to be.

Ahh yes, the good old days. Like back in the 1940s when Fenway Park's
Green Monster had ads on it for bowel softeners and Mel Allen was
contractually obligated to call every Yankee homerun a "Ballantine
Blast"?

Ballantine Ale was one hell of a good beer, too!
