this is like the best show ever.

thistv had this show on the other night because it's the most random channel ever and because I think HRD was an MGM product and they pretty much run that stuff exclusively. The one I saw pitted Harmon Killebrew against Mickey Mantle. They both acted like thye were the guest star on an episode of Leave it to Beaver. They constantly smiled and made nice remarks that were so blase they seemed like they were high or secretly gay or something.  

You get 3 outs. Anything that's not a home run is an out except a ball, but if you take a pitch and it's a strike thats an out too. The announcer is a goofball. He's kind of like the not joe rogan guy on UFC, like really normal.  "he really got under that one didn't he "  "yeah that was a good hit"  ...smiles..... more smiles..

I wish I had taped more episodes. girls don't like it

This is on ESPN classic  sometimes and is pretty cool. "Henry Aaron" totally killed it a few weeks ago.
