Not many better teams than Kuiper and Krukow in any sport, and truly no duo has done a video game better before or after them. I love the feeling of being *in* a baseball game that only radio offers and these guys are the kings of. defector.com/mike-krukow-...

This is fun. If the lockout (you know it's coming) goes on too long, the Media Rights automatically roll over into 2027, and there's another year on the old revenue numbers. How much will that mean on the downside, and is it still less than the increase in franchise value from a fixed salary cost?

MLB media rights deals would automatically extend for extra year if lockout extends too long, per report

MLB would reportedly need to extend its current media rights contracts an extra year if a lockout goes for too long.

Up until August 12 1932, the Yankees had never been shut out. Now they're facing Washington's Tommy Thomas, a canny pitcher carrying an injury but well equipped to go the distance against the Murderers' Row from the Bronx. Listen to the recreated radio broadcast in full at classicbaseballradio.com

The latest Classic Baseball Radio episode is the San Diego Padres at New York Mets game from May 6, 1972. On the Padres' line-up is Nate Colbert, and tonight is part of his spectacular season. This broadcast (podcast) is waiting for you at classicbaseballradio.com

A promotional postcard for the Classic Baseball Radio podcast. It says "Nate Colbert’s 1972 is the stuff of legends, with 38 home runs and 111 RBIs. He was on fire from the delayed opening day of the season. Today, he’s visiting Shea Stadium, looking to lift the Padres up from their 8-11 start."

The first player strike is over, and most players are rusty. Not Mets' legend Tom Seaver. He loves playing against the Padres (he struck out 10 consecutive Padres in 1972, setting a Major League record). With the Padres visiting New York, let's tune in to our recreated radio broadcast of the game.

A promotional card for the Classic Baseball Radio podcast. It says "Coming off a 20-win season in 1971, Tom Seaver is already 4-0 on a shortened season. His record against the Padres is even stronger. All he has to do is get past the 22-year-old rookie Bill Grief."

When you're on a run to win the National League pennant, sometimes you need to make a big signing. The Cubs did that in 1945, grabbing Hank Borowy from the Yankees. In our latest AM radio recreation, Borowy is making his first start and faces Vern Kennedy of the Reds in this game from July 29 1945.

A promotional image for the Classic Baseball Radio podcast, it shows Hank Borowy, and says: "He started the season as the Yankee's ace pitcher. Then they put him on waivers. The Cubs snatched him for $100,000, and Hank Borowy is about to make his first start at Wrigley."

The Reds are visiting the Cubs. It's the top of the third, and the Reds are down two runs to one. With two outs, Dain Clay has drawn a walk, and Dick Sipek - one of a handful of deaf baseball players in MLB history - steps up to face Hank Borowy (recently poached away from the New York Yankees).

Along with Rollie Fingers, Sparky Lyle defined the role of a closing pitcher. That's after many years of establishing himself in the majors. Our latest AM radio recreation of the Angels at Red Sox will see him put on the mound in the bottom of the tenth. Could this be the first win for the rookie?
