  • September 20, 1934 NY Yankee vs Detroit Tigers: Two of the greatest baseball teams of the 30s playing each other. The sound is a little raw, but background noises are too great: teletype ticker, typewriters of the sports writers, crowd noises, etc. This broadcast is supposedly the oldest "complete" game broadcast.
  • 1936 Cubs vs Whitesox
  • 1936 World Series: NY Giants vs NY Yankees: at this point in the series it was tied up at one game apiece with the Giants winning the first and the Yanks winning the second. A bit of pre-game analysis is offered up by Warren Brown who was the sports expert for the Chicago Herald Examiner newspaper.
  • 1939 Cleveland Indians v Washington
  • 1948 World Series: Boston Braves vs Cleveland Indians: One of the announcers is broadcasting great Mel Allen. The series up to this point had apparently been a bunch of low scoring pitcher's duels, but that changes with this game - lots of fireworks.
  • 1949 Red Sox v Yankees
  • 1949 World Series Game 4 NY Yankee Vs Brooklyn Dodgers
  • 1949 World Series Game 5 NY Yankee Vs Brooklyn Dodgers

DISK 2 - BASEBALL 2:

  • 1956 All Star Game
  • 1957 Chicago at Bklyn
  • 1958 NY Yankees at Boston Red Sox. Fenway Park: Before the Game (before National Anthem), there is a moment of silence in Memory of Babe Ruth (10th anniv of his Death) 26 minutes into broadcast Announcer mentions Babe Ruths Record.
  • 1960 World Series G7 PittsburghPirates v NY Yankees (two versions)
  • 1961 NY Yankees v Boston Red Sox (partial)
  • 1962 NY Mets v Cardinals
  • 1964 World Series G7 Cardinals v NY Yankees

DISK 3 - contains boxing, football, 'greatest sports thrills', horse racing (including 'Seabiscut races'), Indy 500 and much, much more!)

Boxing, Football, Horse Racing and Indy 500 recordings ...

  • Disk 3 also contains an 'extras' folder with a number of interesting photos of vintage sports broadcasting and reporting.

    COMMENTS

    This collection has Ernie Harwell, the voice of the Detroit Tigers, giving his definition of baseball. Under three minutes. Gave me the chills, a heart massage, I don't know what. It reminded me of why I have loved the game since age 5. You only need his voice, the power of the word.

    This was a birthday gift. After the initial confusion about file format, it was a hit. Brought back memories, he said, of sitting in the bleachers at Yankee Stadium and also of listening to Mel Allen on the radio.

    To fully appreciate this item, you have to have been a Yankee fan, because most of the recordings are from Yankee play-by-play. Excellent, if that's what you're after, not sowonderful if you were hoping to hear any of the other hall-of-fame broadcasters.
