1943 World Series - Game 1 (Cardinals vs Yankees)

Our friend Buck Benny has come through again, this time we go back 70 years this month to 1943 and the original radio broadcast of the 1943 World Series between the New York Yankees and St Louis Cardinals.

This is game one from Yankees Stadium with your announcers Red Barber and Bob Elson.

Truly a time capsule of America playing sports during wartime and to listen to future Hall of Famers Joe Dimaggio and Stan Musial in action.  This was also the first world series to be filmed for a "highlight reel" to be sent to troops overseas to get a recap of the games back home, a tradition that continues to this day.
