Totally Awesome: Back to Baseball (games, Dodgers, watching, series)

Back To Baseball - Take me back to the ballgame! Re-live your favorite baseball games of the past

Watch (graphically) any baseball game from 1950 onwards.

Like Game 1 of the 1988 World Series between the Dodgers and the A's.

That was just downright strange to watch.

Sorry, filihok, but where is the awesome part?

If one wished to recap the game, reading a batter by batter summary, such as is provided in this display, could be done in a matter of a few minutes. All that distinguishes this site's presentation from doing precisely that, are the graphics.

But they are primitive graphics, no special reason to view them for the sake of their art, and they unfold relatively slowly, stretching the recap exeperience to a length several times that which simple reading would require.

So, for the loss of normal reading and processing speed, the gain is watching some slow moving, superflous graphics.

That is awesome?
