Giant steps

There are a lot of actual play by play records of the greatest moments in sports. This is a particularily cool one put out by Chesterfield cigarettes. Russ Hodges calls the game and the ninth inning home run by Bobby Thomson that beat the Dodgers in 1951.

This is an unusual one. There’s no category for underwater — I wonder if I have another one. We’ll see. Maybe Tony has one. Does anyone have a companion peice to this?

Thanks for this cool one Otis!

“Buddy Mize. Obscure private press tribute to the kings of AMA dirt-track and road racing of the late 60’s and early 70’s. Wonderful “folk art” llustration on front I would kill for the original of. Total DIY piece from So-Cal. I found this missing the Lp so I have no idea what it sounds like, but from the titles it looks great. Most of the tracks are listed as “narration & theme” and are by Melva Murphy. Damn, I want to hear this! Anybody out there have a copy?” – www.otisrecords.com
