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.
