MLB's 20 Greatest Games

2012

MLB Network counts down its version of the 20 greatest games played since about 1950. The network first came up with 50 games and a "blue ribbon panel" -- aided by fan votes -- whittled that to 20. Hosts Bob Costas and Tom Verducci dissect each game, and given the format, with each episode running at least one hour, there's plenty of time to delve into nuances such as pitch selection, defensive alignment, managerial moves and so on. Also making each episode must-see TV for longtime baseball fans is the ex-players and managers who join Costas and Verducci to provide insight. Bucky Dent, for example, talks about his famous home run in the 1978 American League tiebreak game, and Johnny Bench and Fred Lynn reminisce about Game 6 of the 1975 World Series, the No. 1 game on the list.

Jackie Robinson

2016

Jack Roosevelt Robinson rose from humble origins to cross baseball’s color line and become one of the most beloved men in America. A fierce integrationist, Robinson used his immense fame to speak out against the discrimination he saw on and off the field, angering fans, the press, and even teammates who had once celebrated him for “turning the other cheek.” After baseball, he was a widely-read newspaper columnist, divisive political activist and tireless advocate for civil rights, who later struggled to remain relevant as diabetes crippled his body and a new generation of leaders set a more militant course for the civil rights movement.

Our Game: LG Twins

2023

The LG Twins, a professional baseball team based in Seoul, has the largest fan base in Korea's sports history but is also considered an unfortunate team that has not raised a championship trophy for the last 28 years. The jewelry watch prize and the famous Japanese Awamori Soju (a premium alcohol beverage made from rice) that the GM from the 1994 winning team has vowed to present and open have become a legacy that no one has yet witnessed. There's even a painful nickname for LG Twins, "a team destined to fail." However, for the 2022 season, two people from the 1994 winning team have stepped up to change the situation. The pitcher turned GM and the shortstop turned coach are the only people who remember the taste of victory 28 years ago.
