Here's a sad story,... I was in the army in 1960 and taped (reel-to-reel) 
the entire 1960 World Series, one of the all-time great World Series, but 
today I don't know where it is.  I probably still have it but can't even 
start to think where to look.  It was the Pirates beating the Yankees on 
Bill Mazeroski's home run in game seven.  My copy was only the radio 
version.  I think Phil Rizzuto was one of the announcers.  The TV broadcast 
is available from a couple of places if you have time to wait for delivery.

There's 78 content too as the source for the latter was Bing Crosby's wine 
cellar.  Bing was part owner of the Pirates.
