Evan RobertsHOST
Not a knock on Seaver, more a compliment to the money nature of Jerry Kuzmin.
Evan RobertsHOST
Remember, he was on the mound completing game five of the 1969 World Series.
Evan RobertsHOST
So I think that one is very, very easy.
Evan RobertsHOST
The next ones are tricky.
Keith OlbermannHOST
Now, in large part, that's because the World Series was on NBC in 1969, and the competition on television in 1969 was Let's Make a Deal on ABC and As the World Turns on CBS.
Keith OlbermannHOST
Those were literally programs against the 1969 World Series of the Miracle Mets.
Keith OlbermannHOST
And on the, the educational stations, which were still NET, this is before PBS was started, the programs in October 1969 and against the World Series, one of them on many educational stations, taught you how to use a typewriter.
Keith OlbermannHOST
Seriously.
6 MINS LATER
Keith OlbermannHOST
It didn't matter whether or not your team was in the World Series, you watched anyway.
Keith OlbermannHOST
In part, when I was a kid, I knew it was important 'cause they let us watch during or at least listen to it on the radio during school.
Keith OlbermannHOST
When I had an opportunity to go to Game Four of the 1969 World Series that averaged 14 million viewers, when I had the opportunity to go and I asked my teacher for permission to skip school the next day, her response, and she was not some kid, she'd been there since 1942, Ms. Barton's response was, "Have you got an extra ticket for me? I'll skip with you." Part of the appeal was it was on Tuesdays afternoons.
Keith OlbermannHOST
The only things we got to watch on TV instead of school were inaugurations, space shots, and the World Series.

They are discontent with the lack of power and base hits that as yet has not been supplied by Blair, Frank Robinson, Powell, and Brooks Robinson, Jim.
Bill O'DonnellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now, Mickey Mantle, who has played in thirteen World Series and has seen a number of fine catches, and may I add, has made a number of fine catches himself, said this morning that Svoboda's catch off the line drive of Brooks Robinson in the ninth inning of the fourth game of this 1969 World Series is the best catch, the best defensive play he has seen in a World Series in his lifetime.
Bill O'DonnellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So Ron Svoboda gets credit yesterday for saving the game for Tom Seaver.
Bill O'DonnellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
