Here's a mid-1930s General Mills premium photo featuring WLW (Cincinnati) Radio's "Toy Band". Did you recognize young "Uncle Red" Barber, who didn't see a major league baseball game until he broadcast it for the Reds on Opening Day 1934?

Could not get it all on the scanner, but here is the Chesterfield give away record album cover of Russ Hodges' most famous call from the greatest game in baseball history. I bought it signed by Bobby Thomson and added Willie Mays' autograph.

Never one to let the truth get in the way of a good story, Bill Stern was one of the most popular sportscasters of the 1940s. His radio program, "THE BILL STERN SPORTS NEWSREEL", was an NBC fixture for many years under the sponsorship of Colgate Brushless Shave Cream. You Woody Allen fans will remember his parody of Stern's improbable tales in "RADIO DAYS".
