When Willie mentioned ground rule doubles it reminded me of a game I saw at yankee stadium 1958. A mantle ground rule double. 465 ft !!!

Truth or Consequences was the first game show to be canceled by a network and continue with new episodes in syndication, in 1966. What's My Line? started its syndicated run in 1968. As for this show, I've always maintained that Larry Blyden was the better host for the syndicated show; his interests in both the contestants and the Mystery Guests were almost unlimited, and Wally Bruner always seemed to be channeling John Daly. And I've had a crush on Joanna Barnes ever since she co-starred with Peter Falk on "Trials of O'Brien" in the mid-'60s.

Hank Aaron did surpass Babe Ruth with the Atlanta Braves in 1974. I saw him hit two homeruns against the St. Louis Cardinals on June 9th 1973 Braves won 8-2. Earlier a horse named Secretariat won the Belmont to win the Triple Crown. It was the first time since Citation won in 1948. I saw that on television just after my father and I settled into the motel. I don't count the steroid era after that.

This post is being made on 7/8/2020. Willie Mays played in game three of the 1951 National League playoffs between the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants where Bobby Thomson homered off Ralph Branca with Mays the on-deck hitter. Willie is the only surviving Giant from that game at 89. Carl Erskine is now the only surviving Brooklyn Dodger player (93) along with Wayne Terwillger (95) from that 1951 team other than broadcaster Vin Scully (92).

Thanks, I remembered that they had a guy who blew himself up with dynamite before but wasn't sure it was the same man. One thing I do remember from his first appearance though; he said the most important thing about his act was to always empty your lungs before the explosion. I guess the instantaneous pressure change would collapse both lungs if they had air in them.

Born in 1951, I LOVED to watch WML when I was little, but too often could not, because it was on late on Sunday nights. Both on the original series and on the new, they OFTEN took too long to process the first guest -- and then struggled to give a decent amount of time to the others. I don't know why the hosts didn't have the common sense to overcome this flaw.

They finally did. By the time Larry Blyden became host they were giving the panel broad clues; for instance, a stilt walker "gets around in a most unusual way." This cut about two minutes of what were generally the same questions; during the last year of the syndicated show announcer Chet Gould introduced the panel, eliminating some of the long-windedness of the panelists introducing each other.
