Listen too 25 Greatest Events in Baseball History -

As we go a little deeper, because we felt it added to the story we have extended innings, lead up to the event and post event interviews. Such as Walter O’Malley post game in 1951, Ernie Harwell talking about Bucky Dent not being a homerun hitter before he hit the homerun. Bill White and Phil Rizzuto on Brett and Chris Chambliss 1976 walk off. Different radio perspectives from Joe Carter and Kirk Gibson. These are calls you may not have heard of these fantastic events. I hope you enjoy them!  

These moments are heading your way! (It can take a few minutes)
