Come to think of it, those sounders communicated not with a dah-dit,
but with a clacka-clacka.

*THAT'S* is what I heard, not a type writer but I didn't know how to describe
it!!!! That's it.:-)

I can remember (barely) that when WIND in Chicago carried the Cubs in
middle 40's (or so) they would recreate a game whenever the Cub's game
was rained out. I believe the White Sox station would also do this on
rain outs. Both stations were very good at it. Crowd noise, hitting
something for the bat sound, etc.

Sounds a lot like what happened in an episode of the TV show "M*A*S*H" where
Frank bets on games he heard the results of the previous night on the radio.
Hawkeye creates a new game and gets Frank back.

Well, anyway, I'd like to know if the telegraphic reproduction of the
San Francisco Giants game over WAAT in Hackensack, NJ, during the 1958
season, was the last such broadcast, and, since I was about 7 years
old, then, I should like to know the details.


During the 1962 season Russ Hodges (and perhaps Lon Simmons) did recreations
of parts of the Dodgers final games that had a bearing on the pennant race
that eventually ended up in a Giants/Dodgers tie. I don't know if the
information came from the wire or an off-air monitor.
