1950s. In bed by 8. Transistor under my pillow.
Listening to the Tacoma Cubs or Seattle Rainiers from far-off places I could not imagine - like Sacramento or San Diego or Honolula(as my mom called it).
And the vision of the game was in my head enhanced by the a announcer who was probably in a Seattle studio calling the game off of a ticker table tape.
THAT was radio!!
ah yes, you were hearing games with Pacific Coast League teams.
I recall hearing about the “recreated” games, in which an announcer read the events of the game off the ticker tape, and had sound effects in the background, to make you think he was really at the game.
