A bit of pre-game analysis is offered up by Warren Brown who was the sports expert for the Chicago Herald Examiner newspaper. 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. Boxing, Football, Horse Racing and Indy recordings Disk 3 also contains an 'extras' folder with a number of interesting photos of vintage sports broadcasting and reporting.
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.

It makes me wonder how baseball fans looking back from will regard the ads that make us roll our eyes or reach for the remote control today. Before very long, the institutionalization of lengthening between-inning breaks becomes clear. By , one-minute pre-recorded ads were standard, augmented by frequent second station identification breaks that became supplemental local ad time.
These ads sometimes ran long enough to swallow up a pitch or two of resumed action. And there was still a long way to go to reach present-day commercial lengths. I—well, actually Pennzoil—was wrong. The year was Pennzoil had aired a celebrity endorsement whose central celebrity fact was more than a year out of date.
Oh, well. This is what I usually get when I play Sherlock. While I was tailoring my listening choices to pivotal games and great performances, I also paid attention to the announcers. Well-known names and voices added extra flavor to the nostalgic mix, and occasionally unknown and unexpected names did too. For the climax of the National League playoff, the radio voice was anything but a familiar one. He had founded the network to do primarily re-creations of baseball games, where announcers read news tickers describing the games and made up the action in a radio studio far from the field.
For this game, though, he was in the Polo Grounds and giving the action live. It was close to a last hurrah for him. Commissioner Ford Frick soon massively hiked the licensing fees for re-creations.
A suit by McClendon failed to overturn this ruling, and he folded Liberty. Another game filled in an early period for a big name in sportscasting: Al Michaels. I had forgotten the ignominious end of this game, the Pirates being eliminated by the Reds when pitcher Bob Moose uncorked a wild pitch to bring home the winning run. The pang is multiplied, for it was the final game of Roberto Clemente.
From , I got to hear a St. Louis-Boston World Series game called by Harry Caray while he was a Cardinals announcer, before the Cubs claimed him as forever their own. From the following year, with Detroit facing St. Each time, the road team had its man in the national-broadcast booth.
Also, each time their color commentator was Pee Wee Reese , whom many do not remember as having called baseball games. Something more I learned. One of the earliest games I listened to came after a sad event: the death of Dick Enberg. To claim the record, Ryan could either put up a huge K number that day or save some bullets for a last chance in the season finale three days later.
Enberg was fully up to covering a chase after history, but it was his booth-mate who had the call of the night—not that his was an unworthy voice. With Enberg that evening was Dave Niehaus, who four years later would join the expansion Seattle Mariners and call their games for a third of a century. He had the mic in the top of the seventh, with two outs and George Mitterwald behind 0-and Some weeks later, I decided to catch the inaugural game—and as it turned out, the only Opening Day—of the Seattle Pilots.
They began their season in Anaheim, playing the California Angels. To my surprise and pleasure, this was the first major-league game ever called by, yes, Dick Enberg. Even with two innings lost to the tape gremlins, as I noted above, it was a satisfying time with Enberg, not to mention a pretty good game by the end.
Highlights included Enberg invoking, during a staredown before the very first pitch, the second rule!
