“This Week in Baseball” (TWIB) hosted by legendary Yankees announcer Mel Allen was a staple of my teen years. Long before Sportscenter, Baseball Tonight and the MLB Network, TWIB showed the best highlights of the week’s pay as well as baseball’s funniest bloopers, best plays, and unusual plays and accomplishments. TWIB and programs like it showcased the good, bad, and ugly of baseball. Some established stars like David Cone and Paul O’Neill have had moments they would like to forget. Then there have been average players like Gene Michael and Steve Hamilton who used every trick in the book to help achieve success.
