I'll happily take Costas doing play-by-play.

One thing that struck me watching (the kinescope of) game 7 of the 1960 Series was that there were no replays. By the '70s, I remember how they'd show Graig Nettles making a play at third half a dozen times. Now, of course, we get to see every routine ground ball three times (unless they're doing the in-game interview), even though we don't learn anything. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
