    Golden Age Baseball broadcasts...............

    The previous auction with the 4-14-67 NY-Bos game also included a complete 9-25-66 NY-Bos as well as 9-29-68 NY-Bos. The previous version of the 9-25-66 was missing the ninth inning. Is that the reel from 5-31-64 LA-Pit? I lost that auction and was kicking myself for not grabbing it for that...

    Golden Age Baseball broadcasts...............

    I noticed Miley had the 8-25-61 broadcast but assumed it was from the Yankee network as usual. I look forward to listening to Merle Harmon call a game for a change. I was also impressed with Monte Moore's broadcasts. The more 1960s AL baseball recordings the better. You are correct in...

    Golden Age Baseball broadcasts...............

    A Merle Harmon-Bill Grigsby Kansas City A's broadcast from 1961 was released a couple months ago by John Miley via Baseball Direct. This is a complete broadcast, missing only the pre-game show. Thanks. I knew about the 1965 opener and noticed the 61 A's-Yanks game but just assumed that one was...

    Golden Age Baseball broadcasts...............

    I think that is a good idea. I am guessing this would appeal more to baseball enthusiasts than oldtime radio buffs. The problem lies in the fact that teams/stations did not save their material. The majority of recordings that have survived were recorded by fans. Much of what survives today...

    OTR baseball games

    I was watching the documentary "When it Was a Game Part 2" last week and they did a brief segment on baseball on the radio. Included in the short snippet was what sounded like the beginning of the 1938 WS game 1 and the 1944 WS game 2 which is interesting because neither game has been released...

    OTR baseball games

    What is frustrating is that there are a lot of highlight recordings out there that have a minute or so of a game but for that is it. It would have been nice if the whole game had been preserved. How is it that they put out an album like the Impossible Dream with snippets of a bunch of Red Sox...

    According to the Marr Sound Archive "David Goldin gave those recordings to the National Archives. Unfortunately, the discs were part of the Goldin collection that was stolen and sold by a former director. They have never been recovered. " *sigh*

    OTR baseball games

    Thanks for the information on the Marr Archive. I did contact one group awhile back (I thought it was Radio Spirits) and they indicated they did not have his baseball recordings. With both Miley and Danrick both over 70 years old, I wonder what happens when retire or pass away. Miley has...

    OTR baseball games

    I forgot to mention the games that Ernie Harwell donated to one of the Michigan libraries. One of them is Hoyt Wilhelm's no-hitter from 1958 along with some 1950s Colts games, a Tiger game and a Braves-Giants game from 1953.

    OTR baseball games

    Very interesting. Thank you. In what vaults are the 1947 World Series held? I actually contacted Gillette a few years back and they indicated they did not have any recordings from their days as a sponsor. If they had, they are long gone I would guess. Miley has told me he does have the...

    OTR baseball games

    I don't think Miley is licensed to sell games by MLB; at least that is what Charlie Danrick tells me. I think Miley is allowed to continue because his new releases eventually end up in Danrick's hands through trades. I do not believe Doak Ewing has been licensed by MLB as well even though he...

    By the way the LOC has stated recordings before 1972 are not subject to copyright. From their webpage... http://www.loc.gov/today/pr/2011/11-046.html "the Library of Congress now will be able to ensure the archival preservation of a collection that substantially documents the historical...

    OTR baseball games

    It would be interesting to know who Rispole traded with and whether his contacts kept copies of any of the games they sent him. I agree it is unfortunate there are not many games off the Boston network or most of the rest of the American League for that matter. There are very few AL games...
