Baseball in the Air
On the radio, we spoke about groups remembering ball clubs long departed (Brooklyn Dodgers, Philadelphia Athletics, Boston Braves); about "Old-Time" ball-parks, and about a poll ranking the top 100 all-time "Voices of the Game".
We hope you might share with us your own personal favorite "Field of Dreams" or "Voice of the Game". Also, do you have a favorite place and time in baseball ? Ernie Banks used to say "Let's Play Two" - Where and when would your perfect doubleheader be set ? Who would be playing and who would be announcing ? (Any music: rock or organ - what songs). You get the idea. Tell us what your perfect place is.
Here is some information about some of the topics spoken about on the radio:
The Fans They Left Behind: Philadelphia Athletics, St. Louis Browns, Boston Braves, Seattle Pilots and Montreal Expos - see below - entry for March 26 with links to some interesting sites.
The new Busch Stadium in St. Louis is officially opening on Monday as home of the Cardinals. For more see:http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/stl/ballpark/index.jsp
