    I ¡Qt>. 565 MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PRINCIPAL PLAY-BY-PLAY ANNOUNCERS: THEIR OCCUPATION, BACKGROUND, AND PERSONAL LIFE Michael R. Emrick A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY June 1976 Approved by Doctoral Committee DUm,s¡ir<y »»itti». UNIVERSITY LIBRARY 11 ABSTRACT From the very early days of radio broadcasting, the descriptions of major league baseball games have been among the more popular types of programs. The relationship between the ball clubs and broadcast stations has developed through experimentation, skepticism, and eventual acceptance. The broadcasts have become financially important to the teams as well as the advertisers and stations. The central person responsible for pleasing the fans as well as satisfying the economic goals of the stations, advertisers, and teams—the principal play- by-play announcer—had not been the subject of intensive study. Contentions were made in the available literature about his objectivity, partiality, and the influence exerted on his description of the games by outside parties. To test these contentions, and to learn more about the overall atmosphere in which this focal person worked, a study was conducted of principal play-by-play announcers who broadcasted games on a day-to-day basis, covering one team for a local audience. With the assistance of some of the announcers, a survey was prepared and distributed to both announcers who were employed in the play-by-play capacity during the 1975 season and those who had been involved in the occupation in past seasons.

Chairman’s Letter Thanks to all who attended the Business of Baseball Committee’s annual meeting during the Louisville convention. Some developments from the convention: New Co-Chair. A hearty welcome to Claudia Perry, new Co-Chair of the Business of Baseball Committee. Claudia, who also co-chairs the Women in Baseball Committee, has held numerous SABR offices and is our only four-time Jeopardy champion. In real life she’s a pop music critic at the Newark Star-Ledger. Claudia can be reached at 311 York Street, Jersey City, NJ 07302, or at [email protected]. Proposed Business of Baseball Award. At our annual meeting, Don Coffin proposed that the Committee establish an annual award for excellence in research into the business of baseball. The award -- a cash prize of approximately $200, raised through sponsorship or donations -- would be given annually at the SABR convention. Don and I believe that such an award could raise the Committee’s visibility among academics and other non-SABRites researching in our field, attracting new members and encouraging non- members to send copies of their work to the Committee. Some details of Don’s proposal: • All research published or completed during the previous calendar year would be eligible. • Candidates need not be SABR members, and may be nominated by others or nominate themselves.

  • Costas Interview 1980 HALL of FAME for FORMER TOWN AND
    Costas interview 1980 HALL OF FAME FOR FORMER TOWN AND COUNTRY RESIDENTAND THE INTERVIEW FROM 38 YEARS AGO OR THE REST OF THE STORY: Bob Costas was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame’s media section last weekend. He is the only baseball play by play announcer in the HOF who did not at sometime in his career work as a daily play by play man for a specific team. The fact that he did not surprised a lot of people in 1980. At the time the Cardinals had a deal with then KSD-TV to broadcast at least 40 road games a year. KSD’s sports director Jay Randolph was in the TV booth for all nine innings. Mike Shannon would do the first three and the last three innings with Randolph and Jack Buck would do the middle three innings. (Ron Jacober, the number-two guy at KSD was a better play by play man but he was banned from the broadcast booth after he interviewed Harry Carey the day he was fired by the Cardinals at Busch’s Grove with Harry prominently holding a Schlitz Beer can during the interview. The Cardinals owned the rights to broadcasts and Gussie Busch was pissed.) Back to 1979/1980; the TV arrangement left just one guy in the radio broadcast booth. So Bob Starr the play by play voice of the Football Cardinals would be in the radio booth for all nine innings when games were o n TV. In 1979 Starr quit to take a play by play job with the Los Angles Angels, in the country’s number 2 media market.

You can see what they saw. You can picture the old man who sold deviled crabs at the gate, the gamblers who shouted from the stands that they had ten dollars at stake on your next play. If you stand still long enough on some of Tampa’s baseball fields, you can hear the crowds cheering, or, because nobody is all that polite in the ball field, booing. And if you try, you can reach back to the days of El Señor, Al Lopez, the city’s first Hall of Famer, and imagine the fantasies he fired in young men who wanted to do what he did, some of whom succeeded beyond what they ever dreamed.
