“I watch a lot of baseball on the radio.” -President Gerald R. Ford
Radio has brought the sounds of baseball into homes for almost one hundred years. The first All-Star Game, Lou Gehrig’s farewell speech, Bobby Thomson’s “Shot Heard ’Round the World.” Red Barber, Vin Scully, Harry Caray, Ernie Harwell, Bob Uecker, and dozens of other beloved announcers helped cement the love affair between radio and the national pastime.
Crack of the Bat: A History of Baseball on the Radio takes readers from the 1920s to the present.
