I will start with a quickie review of HBO’s documentary, Brooklyn Dodgers: The Ghosts of Flatbush. This was done very well by HBO’s sports documentary unit. The documentary went two hours instead of the normal […]

First, let me start by discussing the Home Run Derby cablecast on ESPN. Once again, Chris Berman was doing the play-by-play, Joe Morgan did the color and joining them this year, was former Giants and Cubs manager Dusty Baker.
