Thanks for another interesting post.

This must have been a re-creation of the game rather than live play by play, if it's only two hours.

Was this the same guy? Nice short shift!

I wonder if these would be called "infomercials" today?

I wouldn't be surprised, but I have a tape of a Red Sox-
Senators game from 1939 that ran only about 90 minutes.
There were no commercials; one team would make three outs,
the two teams would switch sides, and the game would go on
without a break. Baseball was originally designed to be
played in about two hours.

announcer at CBS in the late '30s he did as many
as forty-five shows a week, and on any given day there
might be several hours between the shows he announced.
Hopefully, Mr. Clark got a little time to get away from
the station.

Either that, or some doctor making a talk on health.
Those were pretty common on daytime radio in the '30s,
'40s, and early '50s.
