I've been looking forward to this since it was announced last year - I've even read the book while waiting for the miniseries lol The '77 team was my favorite Yankee team of all time. This minieries is really gonna take me back, just like the movie "Summer of Sam" did.

They're doing a fantastic job. I can't help but feel sad about Thurman Munson, knowing his fate. Oliver Platt is doing a bangup job of portraying Steinbrenner. Same for John Turturro as Billy Martin. The actor playing Reggie Jackson, Daniel Sunjata, is a regular cast member of Denis Leary's show, Rescue Me. There's some cool Red Sox and Fenway Park file footage in there too. Great show, very authentic!

I think they'll get a few Emmy nominations. It's a spectacular series. Do you know how it's doing, ratings wise?
