Straight From 1984, Here's The Disco Version Of "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" That Never Quite Caught On
A reader named Brian, presumably going through his old VHS tapes, has been uploading a number of old Virginia news broadcasts. He sent along this one, a 1984 broadcast from Hampton Roads station WAVY-10, about the Tidewater Tides (then the Mets AAA affiliate) and a local band trying to update the stodgy old seventh-inning stretch.
As fans of cheesy local news, minor league baseball promotions, and 1980s fashions, there's a lot to like here. As fans of music...not so much. We don't know what's become of Tricks (it's not these guys), but Bruce Rader is still at WAVY— minus the mustache.
