Is there a YouTube video or something of the intro of the 1999 MLB All-Star game with Ted Williams?

Okay, does anyone remember how in 1999 All-Star game at Fenway Park, they introduced all the living members of the All-Century team (well the nominies anyway) and then included a very memorable scene of Ted Williams? My wife would like very much a copy of a video of that intro. Did they ever put this ASG on DVD? Did anyone post that pre-game ceremony on YouTube? Or does anyone here have a copy of that video (preferably on DVD or downloadable)? Thanks. image

My wife was hoping Fenway would've gotten the 2012 ASG for Fenway's centennial, but I guess maybe the 1999 ASG was a little too memorable and emotional (and fairly recent) and that caused the Red Sox to miss out on the 2012 game, you know what I mean?

I sure hope for that same reason Wrigley gets the 2014 game! image I would love to go to Wrigley someday...

    And yes I absolutely remember that All Star game. The Williams moment was very special. I also remember McGwire just blasting the ball outta Fenway. Good times.

    That is so awesome isn't it? All those HOFers, living legends in their own right, gathered in the most historic park of the American League, and then for them (legends in their own right) to get all choked up being with the living legend of living legends, that's what baseball, no, that's what all of sports is all about.

    The only thing that was tacky about that whole Ted Williams introduction was that his kid (John Henry) made him wear some cheesey dot com hat (which I'm sure he was paid hansomely for)...

    HBO made a great documentary about Teddy Ballgame a couple years ago and the footage of that ASG pregame is featured in it...I kept it on DVR although I'm not sure if they marketed it as a DVD or not.
