DISK 1 - BASEBALL 1:

• September 20, 1934 NY Yankee vs Detroit Tigers: Two of the greatest baseball teams of the 30s playing each other. The sound is a little raw, but background noises are too great: teletype ticker, typewriters of the sports writers, crowd noises, etc. This broadcast is supposedly the oldest "complete" game broadcast.
• 1936 Cubs vs Whitesox
• 1936 World Series: NY Giants vs NY Yankees: at this point in the series it was tied up at one game apiece with the Giants winning the first and the Yanks winning the second. A bit of pre-game analysis is offered up by Warren Brown who was the sports expert for the Chicago Herald Examiner newspaper.
• 1939 Cleveland Indians v Washington
• 1948 World Series: Boston Braves vs Cleveland Indians: One of the announcers is broadcasting great Mel Allen. The series up to this point had apparently been a bunch of low scoring pitcher's duels, but that changes with this game - lots of fireworks.
• 1949 Red Sox v Yankees
• 1949 World Series Game 4 NY Yankee Vs Brooklyn Dodgers
• 1949 World Series Game 5 NY Yankee Vs Brooklyn Dodgers

DISK 2 - BASEBALL 2:

• 1956 All Star Game
• 1957 Chicago at Bklyn
• 1958 NY Yankees at Boston Red Sox. Fenway Park: Before the Game (before National Anthem), there is a moment of silence in Memory of Babe Ruth (10th anniv of his Death) 26 minutes into broadcast Announcer mentions Babe Ruths Record.

• 1961 NY Yankees v Boston Red Sox (partial)
