Remember this classic promotion by Major League Baseball?

If you don’t, after seeing this video you sure won’t forget it. It’s a classic. And this video brings us back to a simpler time: when ESPN had simpler graphics and a smaller number of reporters, and they actually tried to have some witty humor. This was a time before they spun a wheel, landed on a topic, and said we will talk about this every single week for the next year no matter how many better topics there are.

Back in the day, Sportscenter was fun. Everyone had a personality that was unique and colorful. Their graphics were generic and cheesy, but the anchors made the show, not the graphics or lame panel discussions. But that was back in the day. Apparently, when MLB ran this promotion in 1998 the league was also unafraid of some ridicule. No one thought about steroids back then. How could you with these abominations?
