Crack of the Bat takes listeners from the 1920s to the present, examining the role of baseball in the development of the radio industry and the complex coevolution of their relationship. Despite cable television’s ubiquity, live video streaming, and social media, radio remains an important medium through which fans engage with their teams.

A wonderful marriage of two of my favorite things
Revisado: 05-11-23
This history of the broadcasting of baseball was a delightful read
I'm always looking for good books on either baseball or radio, my two biggest passions, and in Walker's book I found a great read marrying the two!
Walker does a good job not only recounting the names and places and pioneering firsts that led to the development of today's multi-million dollar high tech baseball broadcast empire, he does an excellent job delving into the competing interests that shaped baseball on the radio from the get go. These include, but aren't limited to, the threat radio presented to the long established newspaper sports reporting, and the ongoing debate over whether broadcasting games hinders ballpark attendance or improved it by promoting the teams.
I had never thought about the competition between teams & stations that arose from the fact AM signals can travel cross country and penetrate competitor's markets.
If you have an interest in baseball, radio, or like me, both - this is a must read.

Boisterous, ribald, and ultimately shattering, Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest has left an indelible mark on the literature of our time. Turning conventional notions of sanity and insanity on their heads, the novel tells the unforgettable story of a mental ward and its inhabitants, especially tyrannical Big Nurse Ratched and Randle Patrick McMurphy, the brawling, fun-loving new inmate who resolves to oppose her.
