Living in the Midwest and with most of the baseball teams having radio stations that were 50,000 watts at night, I could listen to a game someplace pretty much every day.

Both Chicago teams of course - they came in night and day.

At night we got the Twins, the Cardinals, Brewers, Royals, Reds, Houston, Atlanta, Pittsburgh and sometimes Philly Boston and the Yanks.

Then baseball went into its drug and money grubbing days and I said no more
