“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.

Why Baseball and Radio
Were Meant for Each Other
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.
