It would be interesting to see an alternative universe where Musial was a Yankee and DiMaggio was a Cardinal. How big of a legend Musial would have been playing in New York and if it would have dampened DiMaggio’s fame playing in St. Louis.
Not to make this into a political post, but I despise baseball for taking away a great American institution that my father and I got to enjoy but my children will not. It’s hard not to turn on the radio at night and listen to Mike Shannon calling games, but they brought this on themselves.
I left out that one of Harry Carey’s first broadcast partners was Gabby Street. That was back in the days when sportscasters were employed by breweries.
Ditto on Musial & DiMaggio
Growing up in Dayton, OH, I still recall my dad listening to Harry Carey on KMOX at night.
