About the Book

There is a long-standing relationship between broadcasting and sports, and nowhere is this more evident than in the marriage of baseball and radio: a slow sport perfectly suited to the word-painting of broadcasters. This work covers the development of the baseball broadcasting industry from the first telegraph reports of games in progress, the influence of early pioneers at Pittsburgh's KDKA and Chicago's WGN, including the first World Series broadcast, the launch of the Telstar Satellite, the Carlton Fisk homerun in the 1975 World Series, which changed how baseball is broadcast, through the latest computer graphics, HD television, and the Internet.

Review :
“Ham...offers baseball enthusiasts an accessible popular history of the game’s ninety-year relationship with radio and television. The book provides a sound examination of big-league baseball on radio and television, grounded in an interesting retelling of some of Major League Baseball’s most significant events...Ham gives readers an enjoyable account of a couple initially wary of each other, but bound for synergistic glory...all readers will encounter facets of the broadcasting baseball story that they never anticipated”—Nine.
