200+ Professional Sports Broadcasting Cassettes with a Baseball Focus.
Lot 116. 200+ Professional Sports Broadcasting Cassettes with a Baseball Focus. For the collector with an interest in sports broadcasting, these cassettes provide incredible insights and information. They are from the estate of a professional New York broadcaster. It is impossible to list everything here, but highlights include: Coverage (not always complete) of World Series - 1936, 1948, 1956, 1960, 1968, 1969, 1974-78, 1980, 1983, 1986, 1987, 1989 and 1990. Retrospectives and interviews with familiar names such as Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Joe Namath, Stan Musial, Don Drysdale (remembering Jackie Robinson), Bob Gibson, Curt Flood, Buck O’Neil and Enos Slaughter. Specific broadcasts include: Mickey Mantle’s 526th Home Run on 6/11/68, The “Miracle on Ice,” USA vs. Russia, Lake Placid, 1980. First run in CA Angels history by Ted Kluzewski. The Babe Ruth Home Run Story. Louis-Conn, Sharkey, Schmeling and Baer fights. Other general content includes NBA sound-bites, 1986 Super Bowl pre-game and 1970s-80s political and news segments. The focus is overwhelmingly on baseball, however. Also included: Sixteen Days of Glory VHS, Glory of their Times VHS, two “Baseball Memories” clip cassettes and three large reel-to-reel tapes that cover Game 6 of the 1977 World Series between the Dodgers and the Yankees. There are likely to be recordings here that were never released publicly and were available only to those in professional radio. Generally, the tapes play perfectly, although we have not had time to listen to all of them. Putting these tapes on CD could be an interesting and worthwhile project.
Winning Bid $218.
