A pink Post-it says “Astros at Indians 6-27-1998.” The game is here on Fox 8 WJW from Jacobs Field. Before the game recording, the tape runs through a mix of Cleveland television: 60 Minutes, Miss Ohio on WMFD and OTN, Million Dollar Babies on WOIO, Peter Jennings, Primetime Live, News 5 weather, Kids Say the Darndest Things, and 20/20.
The Miss Ohio broadcast has card tables on stage, contestants singing, and a Bond number with finger guns. Later, Fox 8 gets to Cleveland and Houston. It is a baseball tape by the time the game starts. Before that, it has places to be.
