the baseball legend about
his choice between playing baseball or football and
the differences between baseball now and before.

As part of the promotional tour, Harmon talks about
the DVD release of "The Home Run Derby, Volume 1"

contest. The DVD displays the 1959 contests from
baseball greats, including Mickey Mantle,
Willie Mays, Ernie Banks and Hank
Aaron.
