We were treated to the final glory of Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente, and Bob Gibson, and thrilled by the excellence of Tom Seaver, Reggie Jackson, and Johnny Bench. It was astroturf, the DH and polyester uniforms. It was Yaz, Pops, and Catfish. It was free agency, fantastic bloopers, and Fisk's home run. Baseball in the '70s, a decade of glory.

Un jour cependant, l'étrange Leland Gaunt ouvre à Castle Rock un magasin d'antiquités où chacun semble trouver son bonheur: le jeune Brian Rusk, une carte autographiée de son joueur de base-ball préféré; Danforth, un jeu magique qui lui permet de deviner les résultats des courses; Nettie Cobb, serveuse dans le salon de thé local, un bibelot semblable à celui cassé des années auparavant; Polly Chalmers, sa patronne (et fiancée d'Alan), une amulette qui la soulage de ses crises d'arthrose; l'ivrogne Hugh Priest, un blouson identique à celui qu'il arborait au temps de sa jeunesse.

Jackpot Bowling was a professional bowling show on NBC from January 9, 1959 to June 24, 1960 and again from September 19, 1960 to March 13, 1961. Jackpot Bowling was the first national TV bowling show since Bowling Headliners aired in the early days of television. Jackpot Bowling aired on Fridays at 10:45 PM following the Cavalcade of Sports Friday Night Fight. Leo Durocher was the show's first host, but bowed out after only two shows and was replaced by Mel Allen. Allen's lack of bowling knowledge made him an unpopular host, however. On April 10, 1959 Bud Palmer became the show's third host. Allen returned in October 1959 and remained with the show until April 1960, after which Palmer returned and hosted through June. The show was put on a brief hiatus after the June 24, 1960 episode, as its Cavalcade of Sports lead-in had ended its run on NBC. When it returned on September 19, 1960, a retooled version hit the airwaves; the series not only moved to Monday nights at 10:30, but Bayuk Cigars replaced Phillies Cigars as sponsor, the Hollywood Legion Lanes replaced Wayne, New Jersey's T-Bowl as the show's venue, and Milton Berle took over as host with Chick Hearn providing play-by-play. The show now ran 30 minutes, and the professional bowler challenges were supplemented with segments of celebrities being interviewed by Berle and then rolling a shot for charity.
