The article extolling the βremoteβ broadcasting of a recent football game is woefully ill informed. I remember listening to many, many baseball games in the 1950βs. The game located in St Louis, letβs say, would be recounted from telegraphed play-by-play info to a commentator who recreated both sounds and the action for listeners. Sound effects and crowd noises were added. I quickly became at 9 years old transported to the stands. That was magical and real. Times have not changed that much!
