Special when both games of the NBC Game of the Week are preserved and shared. When “Baseball :and Inside Look” Pregame shows are included, it proves an excellent look at the Day and week in Baseball. So much happened in 1981. Now MLB needs to release more seasons of “This Week in Baseball” via video on demand, or made to order BluRay. 1978-1986 to begin with!
Garigola and Kubek, the soundtrack of baseball in the mid-70s to the early 80s on saturday afternoon . Best broadcast team outside of Scully and Garigola
Good GAWD! Even 40+ years after the game was played, Joe Garagiola is STILL a horrible broadcaster. And the world got stuck with him because he was "preferred by the major presenting sponsor, Chrysler Corp." Baseball missed a great opportunity when Chrysler Corp. was bankrupt and Lee MeMyselfandIacocca were stealing billions from the workers' pension plans and the federal government, to kick that overrated, rude rat bastard to the curb and bring back Curt Gowdy---a REAL broadcaster---to his rightful place. The Gowdy-Kubek duo worked so well for so long. When they brought in cueball Joe, it just went downhill---FAST and became a chore to watch GOW.
Thank you so very much for posting. It's like stepping back in time. Please keep 'em coming!
Yeah, keep those 1981 games coming by all means, great stuff!
Thank You Sir.
Much appreciated as always,
Such great, crisp quality for both video and audio.
10/10.

Thanks very much - great time in baseball & sports broadcasting...wish they hadn't gone on strike, the split season was the pits
This is great! Thanks.
I was 9 and I probably was watching this. Always watched the Reds with my dad
Bryant had a great pregame show; better than today.
At the 27:51 mark, Danny Heep lined out to Ray Knight. Five years later, they became teammates of the 1986 New York Mets world championship team.
The idiot in the 1981 season was Bowie Kuhn for permitting spliting the season in 2 halves.
Nice more 1981 please
Back when baseball had great broadcasters.
1981 all the way!!!!!!!!
Reds had the best overall record in baseball. Didnt make the playoffs. Because of the dang strike. Me and my buddy Jimmy C were devastated. ugh
Baseball was so good back then the old stadiums none of these dumb rules
Bryant Gumbel (pre-game)
Joe Garagiola (PBP) & Tony Kubek (C) 1-4/7-9
Kubek (PBP) & Garagiola (C) 5-6

Reds unfurled banner on the field that indicated major leagues best record at seasons end, but not in playoffs.⚾️😳⚾️😳⚾️😳⚾️😳
"Players make too money" while the owners are raking in billions. Great job simpletons
