  • The Cubs Win the World Series!
    Can’t-miss listening is Pat Hughes’ ‘The Cubs Win the World Series!’ CD By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Monday, January 2, 2017 What better way for Pat Hughes to honor his own achievement by reminding listeners on his new CD he’s the first Cubs broadcaster to say the memorable words, “The Cubs win the World Series.” Hughes’ broadcast on 670-The Score was the only Chi- cago version, radio or TV, of the hyper-historic early hours of Nov. 3, 2016 in Cleveland. Radio was still in the Marconi experimental stage in 1908, the last time the Cubs won the World Series. Baseball was not broadcast on radio until 1921. The five World Series the Cubs played in the radio era – 1929, 1932, 1935, 1938 and 1945 – would not have had classic announc- ers like Bob Elson claiming a Cubs victory. Given the unbroken drumbeat of championship fail- ure, there never has been a season tribute record or CD for Cubs radio calls. The “Great Moments in Cubs Pat Hughes was a one-man gang in History” record was produced in the off-season of producing and starring in “The Cubs 1970-71 by Jack Brickhouse and sidekick Jack Rosen- Win the World Series!” CD. berg.

Starting tomorrow, fans of the legendary A’s announcer can cast their online ballot for a man who is generally regarded as the greatest broadcaster in Bay Area history when the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum’s Facebook site is activated for 2012 Ford C. Frick Award voting during the month of September. King, who passed away at the age of 78 in 2005, was the leading national vote-getter in fan balloting for the Frick Award in both 2005 and 2006. Following his death, the A’s permanently named their Coliseum broadcast facilities the “Bill King Broadcast Booth” after the team’s revered former voice. Online voting for fan selections for the award will begin at 7 a.m. PDT tomorrow, Sept. 1, at the Hall of Fame’s Facebook site, www.facebook.com/baseballhall, and conclude at 2 p.m. PDT Sept. 30.

  • 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.
