The dream continued for the Mets who swept the Atlanta Braves in three games to win the initial National League Championship Series and achieve the first pennant in Mets history.  Nevertheless, it appeared to be the stroke of midnight for the Cinderella Mets when they faced the Baltimore Orioles in the 1969 World Series.  Featuring three twenty game-winning pitchers (Mike Cuellar, Dave McNally, and Jim Palmer), the Orioles won the American League Eastern Division with 109 victories, finishing nineteen games ahead of the second place Detroit Tigers.  The Orioles easily deposed of the Western Division champion Minnesota Twins in three games and seemed destined to dominate the Mets.  Yet, in one of the greatest World Series upsets in history, the ?Miracle Mets? defeated the Orioles in five games, setting off massive demonstrations of joy throughout New York City.

Everyone thinks of baseball in terms of the major leagues; the plush life and tremendous incomes. But for every starry-eyed youngster who battles his way to the big-time, there are countless more who don't. This is the story of one player who devoted thirteen years of his life trying to fulfill an American tradition. From his Brooklyn schoolyard to Wrigley Field in Chicago, by way of Paragould, Greenville, Macon, and Tulsa, Cy Block worked hard at playing baseball. So You Want to be a Major Leaguer? is a memoir of minor league baseball life in the late1930's and 1940's. A rendering of time and place, it is of interest to historians. As the story of a young man's determination to make it to the big leagues, it appeals to baseball fans and everyone who enjoys a story of achievement against the odds. So You Want to Be a Major Leaguer? was first published in 1965 and has been reprinted several times. It was written with sportswriter Leonard Lewin of the New York Post. Cy Block Cy Block began his baseball career at age nineteen when he signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1938. Over the next thirteen years he played for several minor league teams, as well as for the Chicago Cubs, the team he was traded to in 1941. He played in the World Series in 1945, after serving in the Coast Guard during World War II. His career ended in Buffalo in 1951. His lifetime batting average was .325.SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS

Baseball Historian presents Babe RuthGeorge Herman Ruth, Jr. (February 6, 1895 â August 16, 1948), also popularly known as "Babe", "The Bambino", and "The Sultan of Swat", was an American Major League baseball player from 1914-1935. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest baseball players in history. Many polls place him as the number one player of all time.Although he spent most of his career as an outfielder with the New York Yankees, Ruth began his career as a successful starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. He compiled an 89-46 win-loss record during his time with the Red Sox and set several World Series pitching records. In 1918, Ruth started to play in the outfield and at first base so he could help the team on a day-to-day basis as a hitter. In 1919, appearing in 111 games as an outfielder, he hit 29 home runs to break Ned Williamson's record for a single season.

Baseball Historian presents a Tribute to Baseball's Great, Jack Roosevelt "Jackie" Robinson (January 31, 1919 â October 24, 1972) became the first African-American major league baseball player of the modern era in 1947.[1] While not the first African American professional baseball player in United States history, his Major League debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers ended approximately eighty years of baseball segregation, also known as the baseball color line. In the United States at this time, many white people believed that blacks and whites should be segregated or kept apart in many phases of life, including sport. The Baseball Hall of Fame inducted Robinson in 1962 and he was a member of six World Series teams. He earned six consecutive All-Star Game nominations and won several awards during his career. In 1947, Robinson won The Sporting News Rookie of the Year Award and the first Rookie of the Year Award. Two years later, he was awarded the National League MVP Award.

Baseball Historian presents Red Barber&Bob Edwards talking about baseball on the "Morning Edition"Photo: Red Barber&NPR's Bob Edwards at their only face to face meeting. Location, Flordia State University 1991 A native of Columbus, Mississippi, Walter Lanier "Red" Barber was born February 17, 1908. He launched his colorful and distinguished broad casting career in Cincinnati in 1934. Barber was highly regarded by his peers and his broadcasts were noted for their fairness and accuracy. He was best known by his nickname "Red." Barber followed McPhail to Brooklyn, where he pioneered baseball on radio in New York. He became known as the "Voice of the Brooklyn Dodgers." Barber was at his microphone on August 26, 1939 when the first major league baseball game was telecast from Ebbets Field. The game was a doubleheader between the Dodgers and the Reds. He was with the Dodgers when Jackie Robinson came to Brooklyn in 1947 and he had a major role in shaping the baseball worldÃïÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs reaction to RobinsonÃïÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs breaking the color barrier in major league baseball. Red Barber left the Dodgers in 1953 and took a job with the rival New York Yankees. He remained there until 1966. The "old Redhead" as he was affectionately known, compiled an impressive record, covering 13 World Series and other major sports broadcasts. His career as a broadcaster lasted 38 years.

George Herman Ruth, better known as Babe Ruth, was the greatest sporting hero of his day. Seventy years later it is difficult to comprehend just what a legend The Babe was. Adventures of Babe Ruth are short fictional tales of the life of the great baseball player. They border on being modern day fables, each one with a simple yet important message to put across to the audience. Despite the simple plots and sugar-sweet story lines they are still most enjoyable to listen to and the sound quality is (on the whole) excellent considering their age.
