I remember those commercials on the Saturday game of the week...on NBC I think.

Yes! I started watching baseball in 1976. In those years we didn't even have local cable at home and of course no Internet. The only TV baseball I got to see was NBC's Saturday Game of the Week and ABC's Monday Night Baseball.

Did you watch This Week in Baseball? That was one of my favorites.

Yes! Mel Allen was a legend! The ending music of TWIB was a classic. Again since I didn't have cable TV, watching TWIB I got to see some highlights of other major league teams.

In the late 1970's my spring/summer Saturdays consisted of:

1) Getting up at 6:30 AM
2) Watching Saturday morning cartoons.
3) Watching TWIB.
4) Watching the Saturday Game of the Week.
5) Playing with my friends OUTSIDE until after sunset.
