It’s amazing how little interest the world series generates in this day and age. I remember reading stories about the series being played in the 50s-60s when kids took transistor radios to school so they could listen and the teachers allowed them; Every TV appliance store had the games playing on the sets that faced the streets and crowds would stand around watching; If they couldn’t watch, every radio was tuned to the game. The voice of Mel Allen was heard around the planet. Simpler times; Simpler days. Times and days I wish I had experienced. Look at the landscape of America today. She was better with baseball.
