This is one of the first games I purchased decades ago from a company that ran ads in “Baseball Digest”. There was some really bad record skips at one point in the recording. What I liked about this game is that there are no commercials but you can still hear the crowd. It gives a sense of actually being at the game.
Thank you and your contributors for this great work. BTW, there were some comments about Bob Neal, misidentified as Bob Woolf, blowing the 7-4-3 double play call on the radio broadcast of Game 7 of the 55 World Series. After they came back to the 9th inning, notice how Al Helfer took back over for Neal. Here's the point: I think I remember reading somewhere that Neal had a problem with "bending the elbow." Al Helfer makes reference in the broadcast to Neal "having a cold." Wonder if it were a cold....or a snootful? Anyway, thanks so much, and I'll keep listening. Happy New Year to you and yours.
Connie Mack had turned the team over to Jimmy Dykes on May 26th. The A's were 17-31 going into this game on their way to a 52-102 7th place finish, the Indians 24-22 but would finish 92-62, in 3rd. Note: the recording ends before the game does at 2:22:44. The rest of the clip is blank.
Al Helfer channeling his inner Red Barber here with a twang in his delivery. Quite a contrast to his later, more sobering style (check out his Mutual 7/1/1953 White Sox/Browns game on this channel)
+Frank Santore honestly, in the beginning I was paying random people on eBay, Craigslist, the back of magazines etc lol per game to get them for the channel. But then really kind people like Dan H and Karl D started sharing some of their collections with us for free. Collections I'm sure they've spent years building at a high cost to them. They are the real heroes behind this channel getting so much content so fast! And thank you Frank for commenting and helping keep baseball on the radio alive
No. Mutual's Game of the Day was always done live. It was the Liberty Network which specialized in doing recreations (though their most famous broadcast of the 51 NL Playoffs were done live on-site).
Has Cleveland come up with a new name for the team yet? And i can hear a guy in the background doing a war woop when the Indians score a run I start cracking up laughing
Baseball was made to listen on the radio. Thanks for these games.
No,it wasn't.Hell no.

Good quality audio, and good quality game!
Shantz pitched for the Yankees in 1960, and of course Lemon managed the Yankees twice.
Charlie Finley’s biggest mistake was moving the A’s out of Kansas City.

The Games of the Day were largely recreations, weren't they?

Maybe back to the turn of the century, and call them the Spiders, or the Naps.....?
