This book, loaned to me to read by Bill Schonely, is quite likely the Bible of baseball broadcasting.
It offers historical perspective on baseball broadcasters and broadcasting from its beginning in 1921. Through 500-plus pages, it covers legends such as Bill Stern, Graham McNamee, Byrum Saum, Red Barber, Ernie Harwell, Vin Scully, Bob Prince, Curt Gowdy, Dick Enberg, Harry Caray, Joe Garagiola and even Jimmy Dudley, the latter Schonely’s partner during his one season with the American League Seattle Pilots.
