v old dog & dog... Yes!
Mel Allen (& Red Barber)
Both were absolutely marvelous at softly, Southernly, passing along a joyous picture of the cavernous Yankee Stadium (b. April 18, 1923) in its full glory.
A high school buddy's family was throwing away a(circa 1932) table-top cathedral radio about 1962... I asked for it & took the prize home. I had to string about 15ft of bare copper wire along my Mother's kitchen cabinets to pull in the signal from New Yawk; my radio, "Mel", and I lived through many great moments (Mickey coming out from a broken foot injury and parking a winning HR) and several bad moments (trading for Reuben Amaro for SS) over the years.
Billy Crystal has committed an unforgivable sin, as a self-proclaimed Yankee fan, which can not be pardoned. When he made the M & M story, "61*", Crystal made Mel's voice into some white-bread, same-old-same-old, voice that bore none of the lilt and warmth of Allen's Alabama tones. Shame!
