I've captured a lot of wonderful moments by and with the heroes of my life: my fellow broadcasters (news reporters and baseball play-by-play guys, mostly) and jazz musicians. Please subscribe and keep an eye on this space, as I'll be adding legendary performances by legendary people...
Vin Scully and Don Drysdale at St Louis, May 26, 1990
While visiting Los Angeles at the time, I had the good sense to borrow a friend's VCR to tape this random mid-season game. Vin does a pre-game conversation with Tommy Lasorda; Don has a post-game interview with starting pitcher Mike Morgan. And, as was still the standard with most ballclubs into the '90s, Vin calls the first three and last three innings...and as he goes over to do 4, 5, and 6 on radio, Don takes over the play-by-play. As Vin says, "We'll have it all..."

When did the Steelers eclipse the Pirates as the most popular team in Pittsburgh? I'd suggest it was right after the 1975 baseball season when the Pirates, after again being beaten in the playoffs by the Reds, fired their popular and distinctive broadcast voice Bob Prince. Officially, he wouldn't return to the broadcast booth until 1985, just a few weeks before his death at age 69. But as Time-...
Slim Gaillard 042089 with Jazzbeaux
มุมมอง 3057 ปีที่แล้ว
The full show which is a little loose and sloppy to be generous is also up on this channel. But here's the segment that counts: Thirteen minutes with a couple of legendary personalities: Slim Gaillard (1916-91) and disc jockey Al Jazzbeaux Collins (1919-97). The house band is led by a legend among drum teachers, Sam Ulano, with Billy Gray (of the Widespread Jazz Orchestra) on trumpet. This was ...

He was one of the greatest of the Greatest Generation: Lt. Col. Jerry Coleman...in another typically great example of what radio play-by-play guys could do in the era when they also did television. There's lots of Ted Leitner and Bob Chandler too...with a couple of legends on the field as well: Tony Gwynn and Trevor Hoffman. And the tragic figure Ken Caminiti...

From a little closet of a studio on East 23rd Street, this is the Jazzbeaux Christmas Show with Sam Ulano and the band, plus a rare TV appearance by the legendary jazz singer Jackie Paris. Despite the excellent on-set cuisine by Dr. Wok, I remember heading with Jazzbeaux and Jackie and a couple of others after the show to Chinatown where we continued to hold court for several hours. Unfortunate...
LA at Montreal Vin Scully Ross Porter 8-95
มุมมอง 29K7 ปีที่แล้ว
Even into the '90s, most major league ballclubs were still doing their radio and television with one team of broadcasters. As it was with most clubs, the Dodgers would have Vin Scully doing the first three and last three innings on TV. Then he'd switch over to radio for the middle three as Ross Porter (also an excellent broadcaster) came over from the radio side to do three innings of TV. I wis...

มุมมอง 4287 ปีที่แล้ว
Fair warning: This program had no producer and looks it! I know there was no producer because I was there for the purpose of meeting one of the great characters of jazz, Slim Gaillard. And had there been a producer, Gaillard would have been on camera for the entire hour, instead of coming up to the stage at about 29 minutes in. This was a weekly show that was slapped together on the fly at the ...
Christmas 1961 with Steve Allen
มุมมอง 45K8 ปีที่แล้ว
12 20 61...Despite a top-tier team of writers and a new roster of comic talent in Tim Conway, Buck Henry, Joey Forman, and the Smothers Brothers, the New Steve Allen Show was buried in the ratings by the mega-hit Wagon Train (which ranked #1 in the Nielsens). It lasted 13 weeks. Not to suggest that this is anywhere near as good as a typical show from Steve's legendary (1956-60) NBC series...but...
The Greatest San Diego voices 👍👍
Do you have the keep on believing song from 1996?
Bob Chandler wow he is a legend too what a voice
4 years ago, I placed a comment on the Utube, ON THIS GAME… Got to missing Vin so much I came back to watch again. I reckon I’m getting old and just want something nostalgic? I don’t know, but I do know Vinny was the BEST! Bob Uacker (SP) is a close second in Milwaukee. God Bless BOTH of them. Isn’t baseball great?
Even by 1961 standards this was a lame program.
I worked with Manny's brother Danny and knew Eddie, Jackie, one of my favorite singers; STRANGE, 'ROUND MIDNIGHT etc.
Got to love a show sponsored by bowling alleys.
Those puppets were adorable
R.I.P Steve Allen (1921-2012)
Steve Allen died in the year 2000 not 2012.
Where did the years go?? GREAT comedy then and now!
What a contrast between the World we live in now compared to then, When some Innocence could be enjoyed and rested in.
At the beginning of the video, Is the man on the Jeep Eagle commercial still alive?
this could be the start of something. it should have been the theme song for the early 1960's.
Did this era really exist or did we just imagine it? Compare that time to today's landscape with all of its attendant troubles.
There were plenty of troubles then too.
At that time,you could plan a future.Can you really do so now?@@marmaly
I was 10 years old at the time. I remember we had moved in with my grandparents when I was three years old and I used to sneak out of the bedroom and stand in the hallway to watch Steve Allen, Ernie Kovacs, Gary Moore and outer limits. These truly were the golden days of entertainment.
Having grown up with Steve Allen, I will simply state that, 62 years later, he is still a consummate giant whose work stands the test of time so very well. Thank you Steve; I love you!
“It’s just a flesh wound”…
How is the audio so good? A lot of the other broadcasts that you find on TH-cam have pretty low quality of audio.
I can't believe it took until the Top of the 6th for Ross Porter to mention that this game, on Aug. 21, 1995, was Ismael Valdez's birthday. It happens to be MY birthday, too, Valdez is seven years younger than me, and so it surprised me that he was so strong in this one, on just his 22nd birthday. He had a great career. Great to hear Vin AND Ross Porter in this 1995 game. I need to find out about the Dodgers' forfeit during Ball Night vs. the Cardinals.
13:00 Our favorite words
In the minute 7:03 someone is run over by a horse. It looks like a serious injury to the head. Must be hurt a lot
The current generation likes watching people on an island being cruel to each other. Pure entertainment.
Smock smock !!
How wonderful! When things were much more normal. Nice.
Great to hear Vin from my era of baseball fandom, calling a game with players who's names I all recognize. Since I stopped watching baseball long ago, this is exactly how he sounds in my head. There's a good chance I watched this very game. It's perfect in every way. RIP Vin!
RIP Vinny....you were the best, we will miss you ..
Duh.... Vin !
Thanks, Ray. Ironically, I just discovered this on the day Vince Scully died.
Watching this after learning of the great Vin Scully passing away. He was the best to ever do it. Rip Vinny
RIP TODAY 03/08/2022 94 DIES VIN SCULLY. RIP
Love the video and hearing the Gunner but if you know the history… impending doom…
Good night Vin
RIP Vin
billy, I think it's time for you to do a number billy: AFTER THAT??? C'mon!!?
Why did they call Tim Conway Tom Conway?
That was his actual name. I didn't know he went by Tom before he changed it to Tim, though. He had to change his name to Tim because there already was a Tom Conway in Hollywood at the time. In fact, my aunt told me this because she was in realty back in the day in California and sold the Conways a house. She got to be on his then-wife's bridge club. She said he was hilarious --- greeting the ladies at the door in his underwear or wearing a dress!
Wonderful post and write-up; thank you!
If I hadn't seen the thumbnail I never would've known that Weird Al Yankovic pitched for the Pirates!

Butler might be one of the best leadoff hitters of the last 50 years. Hes so close to hall of fame. Maybe another 2 great years and he would have had closer to 3k hits
Brilliant upload. Loved the initial interview between Vin and Lasorda. To say these two are a couple of legends is an understatement.
I must have 20 of JAZZBEAUX's radio shows, good stuff.
Expos broadcast would have been Dave Van Horne. Also a legend!
And Ken Singleton
Wow! Brings back memories. Miss Jerry! Miss Ted and Bob, also. Just miss those times! Happy that Ted still does Aztec games.
Listening to Vin I could tell this was shortly after his son's death.. it's very subtle but you can hear a little less spark in Vins play by play.. commentary, anecdotes etc.. can't imagine how much courage it had to take to suck it up and still be the best broadcaster in baseball
Thanks

Man, was Ross Porter good!!! He loved to give many stats, but he was on his game!! Wish he still did play by play for the Dodgers today!
The singer Barbara Russell was a great talent
I used to catch Jazzbeaux back in the 80's when he was on WNEW from midnight to 6. It was an enjoyable way of passing the night hours and one of the last radio sources of jazz/big band music at that time. It's interesting to see how he appears on video. Always a laid back way of handling chaos. "...welcome to those of you who've tuned in by accident, because this is one of those shows you can't find when you're looking for it..." Thanks for posting this.
Rarest of the rare. There's hardly even any Padres games on a trading circuit.
