John Miley has compiled the most comprehensive audio account of baseball history in existence--a vast and wildly entertaining assemblage of game tapes from throughout the sport's history. His archive contains classic moments, like the Shot Heard 'round the World, and amazing feats, like Carl Hubbell striking out Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons, and Joe Cronin--in order--in the 1934 All-Star Game. Narrated by Bob Costas, Baseball Forever brings you highlights from Miley's collection, with numerous clips available for the first time since their original transmission. Bestselling author Jason Turbow (The Baseball Codes) mines the archive with Miley himself, taking us to some of baseball's greatest settings--Yankee Stadium, Ebbets Field, Fenway Park--while guided by the game's legendary broadcasters, like Mel Allen, Red Barber, Harry Caray, and Vin Scully. Miley and Turbow have carefully selected an abundance of highlights for Baseball Forever that is sure to inform, entertain, and appeal to anybody nostalgic for baseball's storied history.

First Radio Broadcast of a Baseball Game
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Philadelphia Phillies
Play-by-Play by Harold Arlin at KDKA
(Pirates 8 - Phillies 5) broadcast not preserved
Using only a converted telephone as a microphone and some jerry-rigged equipment set up behind home plate, Arlin called the world's first baseball game broadcast--on KDKA, the nation's first commercial radio station.

"On March 9, 2011, the Library of Congress announced its acquisition of John Miley’s vast collection of sports broadcast recordings made prior to 1972.
The Miley Collection represents the largest and most significant collection of sports broadcasts in America."
Miley's recordings, pre-dating 1972, were not protected by federal copyright law and will reside in in the world's largest library.
Miley and author Jason Turbow have carefully selected highlights to form Baseball Forever (4 audio discs)
Their work is informational, entertaining and richly contributes to what I call Americana.
Bob Costas is narrator
If you appreciate nostalgia and are willing to listen carefully and bear with some early recording quality, I think you'll enjoy their offering.
