From Diamond Entertainment

Major League Baseball video scrapbook
AMERICA'S BASEBALL LEGENDS is recorded in SP mode and HiFi sound. Most of the vintage film, kinescope and TV videotape clips used here are at best of "fair" quality; quite a few are pretty awful-looking. An anonymous narrator quickly runs through a list of prominent ballplayers while heavy-on-rhythm upbeat synthesized orchestrations play underneath. (Not available on DVD)
Total running time: 58:30
