Bill Slater’s ability to maintain the excitement in his voice, no matter the score, is similar to that of Lindsey Nelson. I wonder if Nelson studied Lsater’s style? Thanks for posting this gem!
Thanks for the upgrade effort, but the final minutes are a mess here as well. The 8th inning call and the 5th inning call are on top of each other. It is still incomplete also. Still though, thanks for making it available!
Tigers got three quick singles in the first to drive the starter out. The problem was that the fielders weren’t properly placed. If they’d done adequate analytics, they’d have shifted and got all three out.
Wait a minute! Now that you got me thinking… If the Cubs had won in ‘45, their drought would have reached 71 years when they won in 2016, which is less than the Indians’ current streak (73 and counting); but that’s less than the White Sox’ 88 years (2017-2005) or the Red Sox’ 86 years (1918-2004) or the Phillies’ 77 years (start-1980). The Yankees’ longest drought was 20 years (start-1923). Dodgers’ was 52 years (start-1955). Giants was 56 years (1954-2010). Cards was 24 years (1982-2006). A’s was 42 years (1930-1972). Reds was 35 years (1940-1975). Pirates (1979-present) have waited 42 years plus. Tigers (1984-present) have been waiting 37 years. Braves (1914-1957) waited 43 years. Brown/O’s waited 63 years (start-1966). Senator/Twins (1924-1987) waited 63 years, The Senator/Rangers (expansion-present) have waited 60 years plus. The Angels (expansion-2002) waited 41 years. The Mets (1986-present) have waited 35 years. The Astros (expansion-2017) waited 55 years The Padres and Brewers have been waiting 52 years plus. The Expos/Nationals (expansion-2019) waited 50 years. The Royals longest wait (1985-2015) was 30 years . The Blue Jays (1993-present) have been waiting 28 years. The Mariners (expansion-present) have been waiting 44 years. The Rockies (expansion-present) have been waiting 28 years. The Marlins (2003-present) have waited 18 years. Diamondbacks (2001-present) 20 years and Blue Jays (expansion-present) 23 years.
That is wonderful. Dizzy was certainly before my time. However, as a Tigers fan, and someone who enjoys Tigers' history, I am aware of him. I just Goggled him to see that he passed away in 1972. A fine pitcher.
The last WS game that the Cubs were in until 2016.

Slater was probably better known as a quiz show host. Among others, he was the host of twenty questions. He does nice work here. G comparison.
Wow just wow the last World Series cubs were in until 2016 this is amazing
Classic Baseball on the Radio:👍👍👍👍🍺.
Thank you for posting,
Derringer pitches to Outlaw…
…them were the days.
Peanuts, Skeeter, Stubby, Dizzy...nobody gets a nickname nowadays.
Thanks for posting this classic world series game. Just wondering if you have the 1947 world series complete radio broadcast audio?
The curse of the Billy Goat begins....

Yeah, the copy I have has that issue and I was hoping someone had the very end, but this one does not, either. Oy.

Wow, you are really, really brilliant. You must be from the 21st Century where presentism reigns supreme and any hint of history is completely absent.
I wish the cubs won this because that means that the Indians would now have the longest drought as of 2020
The Indians DO have the longest drought now.
@@paultheaudaciousbradford6772 the longest ever. We still have the record at 108

Is Steve Trout your father? That is neat.
When baseball meant something. Now the game just sucks
Yep, and the masses keep spending their hard earned money and attend these games. It's unreal.
