It's only one or two anonymous IP addresses, and they only strike like once a day. Thus, it is much more efficient to have an admin block 'em. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 06:52, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

You're asking people from this newsgroup for wikipedia information?
Appalling.

[edit] 1938 World Series Radio
I posted a cdhange but I notice that it is rather odd that the audio file of this broadcast has "WBBM" during station identification breaks but also identifies it as an NBC broadcast. Very confusing. Could it be that the station id's are spliced in to an original tape? http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/baseballs_best/mlb_bb_gamepage.jsp?story_page=bb_38ws_gm2_nyychc lists it as NBC??

[edit] 1927 and 1928?
In this article, for the 1927 and 1928 radio broadcasts, Phillips Carlin is listed as Color commentating. Was he doing color for NBC or CBS? Kingturtle (talk) 16:32, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 1950 & 1951
How is it that Jim Britt was the TV and radio broadcaster in 1950, but his color guys were different? Kingturtle (talk) 21:56, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
And for that matter, how is it that Mel Allen in 1951 did both TV and radio, but with different people? Kingturtle (talk) 22:07, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- I don't know the answer, but maybe he moved back and forth between radio and TV? That's something Harry Caray did during the regular season for many years. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 22:10, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- Could be. I remember regular season Yankee games in the 1970s broadcasters would switch every three innings between TV and radio...but I thought they switched as pairs. But who knows. Kingturtle (talk) 22:15, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- I don't know how the New Yorkers did it, I only know how the Cubs did (and only in regular season, naturally). Actually, when I first started following Cubs-casts in the early 1960s, the TV guys did TV and the radio guys did radio. It was after Brickhouse retired that Caray came along, and he would shuttle between TV and radio, as I think (but am not sure) that he did with the White Sox as well. He probably did for the Cardinals, also, although they had very few telecasts in those days and I didn't get to see any of them in any case. And now that I think of it, I think the Cubs guys did start to switch between TV and radio as early as the 70s, but it was the color guys that switched, oddly enough. Brickhouse was strictly TV and Lloyd was strictly radio. That's a bit off-track, though. It would be interesting to look specifically at the Series coverage and see if there was an interval (probably early in the TV coverage) where some guys were listed for both, and then it became exclusive (as with 1954 for the latter case).

- Also, I'm curious where you're finding the broadcaster info. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 22:29, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2000 radio
Per this New York Times article, it was Jon Miller and Dave Campbell in the ESPN Radio booth for the 2000 WS (which confirms my personal memory as well). http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9805E2D9133EF933A15753C1A9669C8B63&fta=y Mdumas43073 (talk) 20:53, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
