“I WATCH
A LOT OF BASEBALL
ON THE RADIO”
…GERALD R. FORD
Who is this
HR Derby guy?
It has been my pleasure to meet Pat Hughes a few times. But I am not associated with the
“Baseball Voices” enterprise in any way. However, I own and have listened to each of his tributes.
They provide a nostalgic trip through the rich radio history of the game that any fan, particularly
‘vintage’ ones are certain to appreciate! Wonderfully funny is “Ron Santo - Cubs Legend”.
These CDs are the audio equal to the “Baseball” documentary from Ken Burns.
These audio samples recommended, and used with the permission of Pat Hughes.
NOTE: I am not affiliated with “Baseball Voices” in any way.
My reward is the pleasure of an occasional phone chat with Pat.
These collections present a fascinating look at the history of baseball on the radio.

Daily Herald columnist Steve Zalusky’s article reminiscing about
when he bought
this album in 1971
reminded me that
I have a copy of my own.
Since it is now 50 years old
it seems like it would be OK
to share it with baseball fans.
