A special edition of the HBO program Costas Now featuring Hank Aaron and Willie Mays premieres tonight at 8 p.m. (9 p.m. EST). Birmingham Weekly contributing writer Allen Barra was in the audience when Bob Costas interviewed the pair of legends and he filed the following report:
It was, as Yogi Berra once artfully observed, Deja vu all over again. Hank Aaron and Willie Mays, the two most revered living former ballplayers — or at least two out of three if one counts Yogi himself — replayed their memories of baseball’s Golden Age, the 1950s and 1960s, for Bob Costas on a special edition of HBO’s Costas Now. (The program premieres on Tuesday, Sept. 30 and will air several times throughout October.)
