Step back into the world of 1930s baseball with a remarkable live remote broadcast from Ebbets Field in Brooklyn.
As the New York Giants battle the Brooklyn Dodgers and anticipation builds for a possible Giants–Yankees World Series, NBC commentator John B. Kennedy takes listeners behind the scenes of one of America's most famous ballparks.
This segment from The Magic Key of RCA features conversations with future Hall of Fame manager Casey Stengel, veteran umpire Ernest Quigley, longtime Dodgers groundskeeper Daniel Comerford, and the team's young mascot.
Together, they offer a fascinating picture of baseball culture in 1936, from the pressures of umpiring to the traditions and personalities that made the national pastime so popular.The broadcast also captures a period of transition in baseball history. Comerford's complaints about fans keeping foul balls recall an earlier era when spectators were expected to return them, while Quigley's recollections connect listeners with some of the game's legendary players and teams.
With the sounds and atmosphere of Ebbets Field as its backdrop, this recording offers more than a preview of the 1936 World Series. It's a rare opportunity to hear the people who helped shape baseball during its early decades, speaking about the game they loved.
