The Pittsburgh Pirates are trying to prove the 1960 World Series was not a fluke. The St Louis Cardinals have a lineup packed with young players looking to establish themselves. Hall of Fame-bound Bob Gibson is becoming the fearsome pitcher that will dominate 1968, and Smokey Burgess is up next.

It is 1967, and the Boston Red Sox are chasing The Impossible Dream. Facing them on July 27 are the California Angels. It's the top of the 5th, and the Angels have already cut the Red Sox's lead to 2-1. With runners at the corners and two outs, the pressure is on Jim Fregosi to tie the game.

One of the earliest games we have recordings of Emmet Ashford is the Yankees at Senators game on Jul 3rd, 1966, where he played First Base. You can listen to it here... podfollow.com/classic-base...

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?

It is the summer of 1967, and the Boston Red Sox are on a tear, led by the hard-charging legend of Carl Yaztrzemski. As they welcome the California Angels, can Yaz's bat light up Fenway and help the Red Sox take one more step towards the American League top spot? #baseball #history #podcast #radio

This is a pretty good visual on the margin of error on ABS measurements. My head is taking the 0.4 inch figure into any discussion. Frankly, anything less that 0.4 and it's "Call Stands" for me.

Should we all reintroduce our baseball allegiances for a quick refresher? No explanation. 1) Building a love of baseball in Scotland 2) Paper scoring is the best way to learn and enjoy the game 3) What *is* the margin of error on the terrible ABS system? 4) Yes there really is baseball in Scotland

Not good enough Fox, not good enough. And I'll bet if you took even a brief look round the office you'd find some exceptional talent that you're blocking from the microphones.

As Gil Hodges steps up to bat, the Brooklyn Dodgers are already down by one run in what will turn out to be a critical series against the Milwaukee Braves. The Boys of Summer are starting to run out of gas, while the Braves have a brand-new manager and philosophy in Fred Haney.

Just before Opening Day games, let's head back to Ebbets Field on June 17 1956. The Braves' new manager, Fred Haney has taken the first game of the doubleheader 5-4. Can the Dodgers punch through in game two? Tune your AM ears to our podcast or YouTube channel for this recreated radio broadcast.

The last class of the Harry Wendelstedt Umpire School. MLB might be taking over umpire finding for Majors and Minors, but there are more games and umpires needed worldwide... and they've just lost one of the best practical courses. www.nytimes.com/athletic/704...

Following the dominance of pitchers in the 1968 season, MLB has taken steps to even things out, and hurlers across the two leagues are dealing with smaller strike zones and lower mound heights. Don Sutton is one of them, as he faces Jim Maloney of the Cincinnati Reds in April 1969.

It's the top of the 6th at Crosley Field, and both the visiting Dodgers and the hosting Reds have till to score. It's Pitcher v Pitcher time, as the Reds' Jim Maloney hurls towards his opposite number, the Dodgers' Don Sutton. Join our recreated AM broadcast from April 9, 1969 on Podcast and YouTube
