Launched in 1977, ``This Week in Baseball'' -- or ``TWIB,'' as it's often referred -- is the longest-running sports anthology show in TV history, made famous by the legendary voice of original host Mel Allen. Today, ``TWIB'' still resonates with fans because its simple formula remains true -- a bunch of baseball highlights packed into each half-hour episode, plus classic segments such as ``TWIB Notes,'' detailing fun facts and happenings around baseball, and the week's great plays in ``How 'bout That,'' a tribute to Allen's legendary phrase.
