Baseball Looks Back Fondly At A Time When AM Was The Designated Hitter
"AM radio provided a gateway to the game for all sorts of folks at a time in America when ballpark stands were mostly filled with white men.
"Before cable television took over, it was the long range of clear-channel AM stations that carried baseball all over the country and gave fans living far from big league cities the chance to follow a favorite team."
With the future of AM unclear, a look back at the powerful role radio plays in baseball history

Re: Baseball Looks Back Fondly At A Time When AM Was The Designated Hitter
I have always been a Blue Jays fan since their arrival in 1977, but I have always had a soft spot for the St. Louis Cardinals. Probably goes back to listening to their games on KMOX in the mid 60's after I got my first transistor radio. Funny I could listen to baseball games from St. Louis at night, but not Leaf games on 1430. Oakville was too far away.
