The audio set of 4 CD's runs almost exactly 5 hours. I co-produced and edited it, and have heard of no plans to release any more. As I've said in previous Net54 posts related to "Glory," I believe any release of much more material than is on the published set would prove a disappointment to all but the most dedicated and patient baseball fans compared to what you can hear now. Perhaps the Hall of Fame, which owns the rights to Ritter's original interview tapes, will someday make the entire 100+ hours available online, and you can judge for yourself. Fans of individual players, or their teams, would of course find those raw tapes at least worth listening to once, but in general the vast majority of the great material we (Neal McCabe and I) found on the tapes made it onto the set.
