giving the Giants a 5-4-victory and a trip to the World Series. "The Giants win the pennant, the Giants win the pennant" was the famed cry of Russ Hodges.

It's amazing that in this age of Cable TV an satellite dishes there is still a place, and in fact a need, fOE ~aseball on the radio. So as you g® to the beach this summer OF work in the back yard, take a little of Mel Allen or Jack Brickhouse with yeu, Take Curt Gowdy or Phil Rizzuto. Take Lindsay Nelson or Red Barber. Take Joe Garagiola or Bob Uecker. Take Earl Gillespie or Ray Scott. Take baseball on the radio.
