Baseball Historian 135 The Amazing Mets
Sat, Oct 31, 2009
The dream continued for the Mets who swept the
Atlanta Braves in three games to win the initial National League
Championship Series and achieve the first pennant in Mets history.
Nevertheless, it appeared to be the stroke of midnight for the
Cinderella Mets when they faced the Baltimore Orioles in the 1969 World
Series. Featuring three twenty game-winning pitchers (Mike Cuellar,
Dave McNally, and Jim Palmer), the Orioles won the American League
Eastern Division with 109 victories, finishing nineteen games ahead of
the second place Detroit Tigers. The Orioles easily deposed of the
Western Division champion Minnesota Twins in three games and seemed
destined to dominate the Mets. Yet, in one of the greatest World
Series upsets in history, the “Miracle Mets” defeated the Orioles in
five games, setting off massive demonstrations of joy throughout New
York City.

Baseball Historian So You Want to be a Major Leaguer? 4 or 4
Sat, Aug 29, 2009
Everyone thinks of baseball in terms of the major leagues; the plush life and tremendous incomes. But for every starry-eyed youngster who battles his way to the big-time, there are countless more who don't. This is the story of one player who devoted thirteen years of his life trying to fulfill an American tradition. From his Brooklyn schoolyard to Wrigley Field in Chicago, by way of Paragould, Greenville, Macon, and Tulsa, Cy Block worked hard at playing baseball.
So You Want to be a Major Leaguer? is a memoir of minor league baseball life in the late1930's and 1940's. A rendering of time and place, it is of interest to historians. As the story of a young man's determination to make it to the big leagues, it appeals to baseball fans and everyone who enjoys a story of achievement against the odds.
So You Want to Be a Major Leaguer? was first published in 1965 and has been reprinted several times. It was written with sportswriter Leonard Lewin of the New York Post.
Cy Block
Cy Block began his baseball career at age nineteen when he signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1938. Over the next thirteen years he played for several minor league teams, as well as for the Chicago Cubs, the team he was traded to in 1941. He played in the World Series in 1945, after serving in the Coast Guard during World War II. His career ended in Buffalo in 1951. His lifetime batting average was .325.SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS

Baseball Historian Babe Ruth's Book of Baseball 2 or 2
Sat, Jul 25, 2009
Written by Babe Ruth at the height of his career (1928), Babe Ruth’s Book of Baseball is his autobiographical, and instructional, account of the game in the glory years, a fascinating look through Babe’s eyes at such old-time greats as Ty Cobb, Lou Gehrig, and many others. The style is truly Ruthian, bighearted and straightforward. His yarns about baseball life on and off the field are entertaining; his insights into the game are masterful. Babe shines through as a colorful and clever commentator on himself and the game he loved.SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS

Baseball
Historian presents Babe Ruth
George Herman Ruth, Jr. (February 6, 1895 â August 16, 1948), also popularly known as "Babe", "The Bambino", and "The Sultan of Swat", was an American Major League baseball player from 1914-1935. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest baseball players in history. Many polls place him as the number one player of all time.
Although he spent most of his career as an outfielder with the New York Yankees, Ruth began his career as a successful starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. He compiled an 89-46 win-loss record during his time with the Red Sox and set several World Series pitching records. In 1918, Ruth started to play in the outfield and at first base so he could help the team on a day-to-day basis as a hitter. In 1919, appearing in 111 games as an outfielder, he hit 29 home runs to break Ned Williamson's record for a single season.

Baseball Historian 82 Tribute to Jackie Robinson Played from 1947 to 1956

Baseball
Historian presents a Tribute to Baseball's Great, Jack Roosevelt "Jackie" Robinson (January 31, 1919 â October 24, 1972) became the first African-American major league baseball player of the modern era in 1947.[1] While not the first African American professional baseball player in United States history, his Major League debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers ended approximately eighty years of baseball segregation, also known as the baseball color line. In the United States at this time, many white people believed that blacks and whites should be segregated or kept apart in many phases of life, including sport. The Baseball Hall of Fame inducted Robinson in 1962 and he was a member of six World Series teams. He earned six consecutive All-Star Game nominations and won several awards during his career. In 1947, Robinson won The Sporting News Rookie of the Year Award and the first Rookie of the Year Award. Two years later, he was awarded the National League MVP Award.

Nicknamed The Say Hey Kid, Mays was elected to the Baseball Hall of
Fame in 1979, his first year of eligibility. Mays won two MVP awards
and tied a record with twenty-four appearances in the All-Star Game. He
ended his career with 660 career home runs, third at the time of his

Historian presents The Great Ernie Banks, Mr. Cub whose career was from 1953 to 1971. He will always be "Mr. Cub," the most popular player the Cubs ever had. His sunny
personality is legend, as is his refrain on a sunny day: "Let's play two!" The first
black player on the Cubs, Banks came up as a shortstop, where he won consecutive
MVP awards, but actually played more games at first base. He is also one of a handful
of Hall of Famers never to get into postseason play.

Photo: Red Barber&NPR's Bob Edwards at their only face to face meeting. Location, Flordia State University 1991
A native of
Columbus, Mississippi, Walter Lanier "Red" Barber was born February 17,
1908. He launched his colorful and distinguished broad casting career
in Cincinnati in 1934. Barber was highly regarded by his peers and his
broadcasts were noted for their fairness and accuracy. He was best
known by his nickname "Red."
Barber followed McPhail to Brooklyn, where he pioneered baseball on
radio in New York. He became known as the "Voice of the Brooklyn
Dodgers." Barber was at his microphone on August 26, 1939 when the
first major league baseball game was telecast from Ebbets Field. The
game was a doubleheader between the Dodgers and the Reds. He was with
the Dodgers when Jackie Robinson came to Brooklyn in 1947 and he had a
major role in shaping the baseball worldÃïÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs reaction to RobinsonÃïÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs
breaking the color barrier in major league baseball.
Red Barber left the Dodgers in 1953 and took a job with the rival New
York Yankees. He remained there until 1966. The "old Redhead" as he was
affectionately known, compiled an impressive record, covering 13 World
Series and other major sports broadcasts. His career as a broadcaster
lasted 38 years.

Baseball Historian Episode 6...Adventures of Babe Ruth..Part 2
Thu, Nov 17, 2005
George Herman Ruth, better known as Babe Ruth, was the greatest sporting hero of his day. Seventy years later it is difficult to comprehend just what a legend The Babe was. Adventures of Babe Ruth are short fictional tales of the life of the great baseball player. They border on being modern day fables, each one with a simple yet important message to put across to the audience. Despite the simple plots and sugar-sweet story lines they are still most enjoyable to listen to and the sound quality is (on the whole) excellent considering their age.
