Remember that time Great Britain won the baseball world cup? The next Timelines clip does, voiced by the team at Classic Baseball Radio.

Another highlight from this week's recreated baseball radio broadcast. It's June 19, 1973, and the Astros have established a one-run lead over the Padres. Doug Rader opens the fourth inning looking to extend the lead.

The first highlighted play from this week's recreated radio broadcast of Astros at Padres on June 19, 1973, is Dave Winfield's first at-bat. He's skipped over the Minors as the Padres put him straight into his professional appearance against the Astros. youtube.com/shorts/yEboX...

Okay, Yankees fans, here’s your chance!

Coming up this week on Classic Baseball Radio, it's the legendary Dave Winfield. We've recreated a radio broadcast from June 19, 1973. The San Diego Padres welcome the Houston Astros, and Dave Winfield makes his MLB debut on a muggy Tuesday afternoon. Podcast and YouTube go live on Monday morning!

Well, this was a moment last night, legendary Scottish comedian on one of his early tours 51 years ago) and presumably his work in the Govan shipbuilding yards brought an affinity to Pittsburgh? (and pirates are just instinctively a good choice).

Every legend has a rookie season. Every rookie has to face their own legends. 1938 saw Enos Slaughter taking on the role of the rookie against Dizzy Dean's aura as the latter. Here's a highlight from our recreated radio broadcast of the Cardinals @ Cubs game on April 24, 1938 #baseball #history

A familiar voice from our game broadcasts will be taking you through Great Britain's baseball history ahead of the WBC. It's a delight to do the voiceover for this series.

Fabulous news

It's Ted time! Just before Christmas, we posted a newly recreated baseball radio broadcast from 1953 of #Tigers at #RedSox, as if your Scottish commentator was in the Fenway press box. You can listen as if you were listening live, on Spotify, YouTube, or our podcast open.spotify.com/episode/1r1O...

We told 21 stories about lesser known people/events from baseball history in 2025! We covered topics such as; an early baseball family dynasty, probably the worst team ever, a race riot, a crazy fan, a Silver King, and a superstar prospect dying on the field… But here’s our 5 Favourites from 2025:

Our Spotify followers are 1,581 (and our new YouTube is... 10). Would love to get over the 1,600 mark (and maybe 25?) on both channels before the new year. If you're looking for recreated historical baseball games on the radio in 2026, consider giving us a follow? open.spotify.com/show/7seplea...

As a (new to) baseball podcaster, with our recreated radio broadcasts stretching to 2 and a half hours, we're very much 'podcasts are audio.' We're established in the podcast directories; YouTube channel is still tiny, with little more than static cards - it's just too big a search engine to ignore.

Fancy some Tigers at Red Sox while wrapping the presents? Using contemporary reporting and historical records, we have recreated the radio broadcast of this game. You can listen as if you were listening live in 1953. Find this game on Spotify or on our podcast. open.spotify.com/episode/1r1O...

We were so honored to see a couple of folks shouting us out on this thread, which is full of great suggestions for folks looking for more baseball content made by women. www.reddit.com/r/baseball/s...

I very much approve of this.

A quick highlight from our recent recreated radio broadcast of the Detroit Tigers at Boston Red Sox on Sept 17, 1953. Of course we're going to pick out a Ted Williams at-bat. youtube.com/shorts/wDOS2...

It is Thursday, September 17, 1953 and the Boston Red Sox are in a jam. Three games are left at Fenway, the home record is 36-37.

While we're still building up our repertoire for recreating games, we've been choosing small games (midweek, no championship pressure, etc) and just enjoying baseball. But there are still moments; with Senators at Yankees on June 19 1963, I get to call a Roger Maris home run #yankees #baseball #mlb
