Attended an engaging, intimate discussion with Jim O’Hara of Major League Baseball Productions as part of a semi-weekly series hosted by the NY Chapter of National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences  (the people behind the Emmy Awards).  Among other projects, Jim is the one primarily responsible for the Yankeeography programs we see on YES.
                    
He got his start on This Week in Baseball in the 1970’s.  He gave an interested audience the inside baseball on just about every bit of footage having to with major league baseball.  He was poetic on how clips, interviews, stills, music, and narration dissolve into a final product, and expansive on the vast reach of the MLB video archive.  He is clearly a man who enjoys his job.
