Baseball's Great Dynasties (ESPN Baseball's Greatest Hits)

This video details some of the greatest dynasties in Major League Baseball from the 1920s to the 1970s, starting with the New York Yankees "Murderer's Row" of the late 1920s and the St. Louis Cardinals "Gashouse Gang" of the 1930s. The Yankees dynasty of the 1940s and 1950s dominates much of the middle portion of the show, while segments on the 1972-1974 Oakland A's and the 1970s Cincinnati Reds "Big Red Machine" conclude the presentation. Includes interviews with multiple now-deceased Hall of Famers including Leo Durocher, Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, and Dick Williams, along with 1970s stars Rollie Fingers, Sal Bando, Johnny Bench, and Pete Rose. Hosted by Curt Gowdy. This was recorded onto VHS and was part of ESPN's "Baseball's Greatest Hits" series in the late 1980s.

Home Run Showdown Tony Conigliaro vs. Thurman Munson (original Yankee Stadium)

This edition of Home Run Showdown features Thurman Munson of the New York Yankees against Tony Conigliaro of the Boston Red Sox. This is an excellent matchup that goes right down to the last pitch. Munson and Tony C crush many blows that would have been long gone in today's Yankee Stadium, but bounce around in the gap and near the monuments in center field. This is a tribute to two of the top players in the American League in their time, and two of the more tragic figures in baseball in the second half of the 20th century.
