The New York Times reports a kinescope of the complete Game 7 of the 1960 World Series was found in Bing Crosby's wine cellar.
The singer - a part owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates - was superstitious about watching the game and had the NBC broadcast filmed off a monitor to watch later in the event his Pirates won. (They did, beating the Yankees, in what some call the Greatest Game Ever.)
The reels were recently discovered, in excellent condition, and will be "re-broadcast" soon.
