I absolutely love listening to these broadcasts. Thank you so much for putting these together. They are wonderful for a long drive or at the end of a hard day.

I believe this was Mark Fidrych’s last full start of 1977 as he was removed after 2/3 of an inning in his subsequent start and didn’t pitch again that year. In his previous start on 7/4/77 against Baltimore he experienced a “dead arm” and gave up six runs in the sixth inning of a 6-4 defeat. Years later it was discovered he had torn his rotator cuff that night. He was never the same pitcher and thus ended one of the great baseball human interest stories of that generation.

Ah those were the days, when players knew how to put the ball in play. 28 total hits, 17 total runs and only 1 home run.

If anyone happened to record the KYW 1060 radio broadcast of the Giants/Phillies game from June 9th 1980 from start to finish Pre-game, game, rain delay programming, etc, please feel free to post the audio of the mp3 of that broadcast here. The game had several rain delays. I bet back when the Phillies where on KYW, they probalay aired their regular news format when the delays happened and then went back to the game once it resumes. It probably happened that night.
