Thread caused a trip down memory lane for me. This was before there was a team called the Blue Jays.
Expos games, no problem, they were on a local radio station when not on TV.
I’m a Dodger fan as well. That was a little problematic. Firstly, I lived back East and the damn home games didn’t even start until 11:00 PM. Secondly, an LA radio signal sure as hell wasn’t making it to Nova Scotia. So I scoured the AM dial for National League broadcasts at night. You could only get the games at night, because by law, only the 50000 watt clear channel radio stations didn’t have to reduce their power at night, and if you had a decent radio, you could pick them up. The ones I recall getting were Philly, New York, Pittsburg, Cincinnati ( that one was always iffy, faded in and out ), and St. Louis ( Jack Buck was a favorite, even remember the station’s call sign was KMOX ).
And when all else failed, that little radio of mine also had shortwave. The U.S. Armed Forces Radio network carried many Dodger games, and it seemed it was always the Dodgers home feed with Vin at the mike.
Now I have MLB Extra Innings, and get every game on TV.
You know what? I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Tucked in bed, lights out, radio against my ear at low volume so as not to wake the rest of the house.
Good times.
