4 Minutes Of RCA/NBC Color With TK41s

Posted on

This is part of the original 26-minute RCA presentation from 1956 that pitches color to the public. The full-length version is linked below, but this is the good part if you (like me) love TK41s. It is such a rare occasion to see the great giants in action, that I thought it would be great just to cut to the chase here. ENJOY! -Bobby Ellerbee BTW/FYI Above is Karl Yastremski of the Boston Red Sox during the 1967 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Sox won!
