Angels in the Outfield / The batters couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat. The fielders must be using frying pans instead of baseball mitts. It looks like the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates haven't got a prayer...until the prayers of a young orphan girl get the Pirates some celestial support! Comedy and charm form the winning lineup of Angels in the Outfield, starring Paul Douglas as the team's short-fused manager. "Dogs have fleas, managers have sportswriters," he grouses to a columnist (Janet Leigh) covering the team. Adding to the fun are game footage from back in the day (buffs will love to spot the stars); support from Keenan Wynn, Spring Byington and more familiar talents; plus unbilled bits by baseball greats Joe DiMaggio and Ty Cobb. One more footnote about this nifty '50s diamond: President Eisenhower called it his favorite movie. Batter up!

Joe Dimaggio Show with radio host Jack Barry - Radio Broadcast / In this rare audio snippet from 1949, we hear an engaging conversation between two prominent figures of their time, Joe DiMaggio and radio host Jack Barry. DiMaggio, a renowned baseball player, was at the end of his career at the time, playing for the New York Yankees. Known for his exceptional hitting and fielding skills, DiMaggio was a household name, and his contribution to the sport was immense. On the other side of the mic, Jack Barry, an established radio and television host, was known for his knack for drawing out interesting insights from his interviewees. This was before his rise to greater fame in the 1950s and 1960s as the host of popular game shows. In this broadcast, Barry's probing questions and DiMaggio's candid responses offer listeners a unique glimpse into the world of baseball during this era.

1936 MLB All-Star Game - Radio Broadcast / The 1936 Major League Baseball All Star Game was held at Braves Field in Boston, and is most notable for the appearance of rookie Joe DImaggio in the starting lineup. Joe didn't do much in this game, but at the break he was hitting .354 with 11 Homeruns, 27 doubles, and 62 RBI. The National League was looking to win their first All-Star game after 3 straight losses by throwing Dizzy Dean of the Cardinals on the mound to start the game. Dizzy led the majors with 30 wins in 1934 and 28 in 1935.
The game was broadcast by the Mutual Radio Network by announcers Fred Hoey and Linus Travers
