With a dull SNF alternative, I ended up watching the replay last night on The Network That Shall Not Be Named, which chose it as the #1 game of the past 50 years. Johnny Bench and Fred Lynn with Verducci and Costas on the panel, and cameos by Denny Doyle, Pat Darcy, Dwight Evans and Bernie Carbo.
A couple of things:
1.) Carbo might be the dumbest person who ever walked the planet. If you remember, there were three days of rainouts between Game 5 and Game 6. Bernie said he spent the entire 72-hour period so shit-faced he couldn't have  found "Tuft University" (it's "Tufts," Bernie) if he wanted to. (The Red Sox held indoor workouts at Tufts during the rain delay. Tufts is in Medford, but about two lefts and a right from Fenway Park.)
2.) My opinion of Johnny Bench changed almost entirely watching this. He's a cynical, sarcastic, bordering on angry, prick. I suppose if I spent 17 years living in Pigtown, it would probably impact me for the rest of my life, but let it go, Johnny. Your team lost the game, but it won the World Series, and you're probably considered the best catcher in the history of the game. I can't imagine the atmosphere in a clubhouse containing Pete Rose, Johnny Bench and Joe Morgan. There must have been that evil pink ooze from Ghostbusters dripping from the ceiling.
