Every fan has their special moments. We pulled this list from Sporting News who published a book in 1999 (we added 1) and who are we to argue!
I have enclosed a link to each event so you can click and enjoy the full broadcast for members! Below each event is a podcast episode so you can listen to just the event. For some of these events they are just the event, some go deeper, because we felt it added to the story. Such as Walter O’Malley post game in 1951, Ernie Harwell talking about Bucky Dent not being a homerun hitter. Different radio perspectives from Joe Carter and Kirk Gibson. These are calls you may not have heard vs some of the TV calls. I hope you enjoy them!

For the Record (atleast it was then until hits were taken away and added to Ty Cobb)
I had no idea until I heard this interview that the Braves had stolen the signs, not that it helped them!
Finally the bridesmaid because the bride! We pick this up for the full 9th inning with Johnny Podres protecting a 2-0 lead.
We pick it up with 2 outs in 5th, Jon Miller on the call. Truly one of the magical moments in history.
We are going to pick it up in bottom of the 9th 6-5 Phillies with Vin Scully on the Mic and Mitch Williams entering the game.
A little different broadcast from WFAA CBS Radio Sports Ernie Harwell with the call. We pick it up in top of 6th 2-0 Boston and Nettles at the plate.
We are going to pick it up with Willie Mays up with 2 outs and a Alou at first.
Lou Gehrig gives the speech, and if you have not been to Cooperstown recently when Cal Ripken does, “the speech” it is a tear jerker and a must see.
Being totally biased this is one of my favorites.
The attention this chase got was stunning, they broke into regular TV, long before all the streaming! Something that is always forgotten is Sosa actually tied him at one point in September.
This call is by Jack Buck and Bill White from CBS Radio this is the Roy Hobbs moment if there ever was one. “I don’t believe what I just saw”
Two different versions of this historic moment!
Curt Gowdy and Ned Martin on the call, one of the best games in World Series History.
We pick it up with two outs . . . .
We pick it up bottom of 9th, and include some post game.
