  • BEST OF (#47 OF 503) THE CURSE OF THE BILLY GOAT
    Jan 17 2025

    In 1945 the Chicago Cubs baseball team was trying to end a many years long losing streak and it was game 4 of the playoffs taking place right there in Chicago. Just before that game, which would have clinched it for them, a local bar owner bought a ticket for himself and his pet goat only to discover that the goat, which he had brought for good luck, wasn't allowed. He demanded to talk to the owner, PJ Wrigley, who told him he could come in but the goat could not. Why, asked the owner. because your goat stinks! was the answer. According to legend, the bar owner put a curse on the team , saying they would never win another series as long as he lived. And the curse lasted until 2016, despite all kinds of efforts to break it. This is the story. Voice of Cubs legendary announcer Harry Caray at end.

  • BEST OF (#46 OF 502) DUTCH SCHULTZ'S CATSKILL TREASURE
    Jan 10 2025

    New York's Catskill Mountains have long been the place where legends abound. When gangster Dutch Schultz needed a safe place to bury a steel safe with gold, diamonds,and bonds valuing over $150 million, he and his driver Lulu Rosencrantz headed for the little town of Phoenicia, and finding a good spot next to Esopus Creek- that's where he left it. Soon after, he and Lulu were killed in a hit ordered by Lucky Luciano. But a police stenographer was with Dutch as he was dying, and his last words sounded pretty convincing.

    By the way, if I sound a little out of breath I have good reason. The voice is coming back soon.

  • THE YOUNG BROTHERS MASSACRE: A BAD DAY FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT
    Jan 5 2025

    On Jan 2, 1932, in a rural area in southwest Missouri, 6 lawmen were shot and killed and two wounded in a shootout as a groupof 11 sheriffs and deputies surrounded a farmhouse in which two or three well-armed fugitives were holedup. They were brothers named Harry and Jennings, and possibly Paul, and they were wanted- Harry for murder of a lawman, the others for operating a multi-state auto theft ring. Just about every rule in modern policing was broken- but this was 1932, it was a rural area, and police forces were basically just peacekeepers in farm towns in those days. They had lots of courage but little training. Inside the house were two brothers who had won area shooting contests for years, they had been in prison, and did not want to go back,

  • CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND: THE STORY WHICH IS SAID TO HAVE INSPIRED THE MOVIE
    Dec 29 2024

    "Close Encounters of the Third Kind: The Incredible Story That Inspired the Spielberg Movie", tells of Project Serpo, a top-secret U.S. government program that arranged an exchange program with aliens that sent 12 astronauts to a planet 40 light years away with hopes of gaining insight to another civilization and their technologies. Inspired largely by a well-known physicist named Dr. Hynek, who had been the head of the classified "UFO Project Blue Book", and was hired by Speilberg and Columbia Pictures to advise the production of the 1977 film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", certain story lines and scenes, such as the one showing 12 astronauts boarding an alien craft near the end of the picture, are said to have been very close to reality.

  • THE HEARTWARMING STORY OF THE CHRISTMAS TRUCE OF 1914:
    Dec 25 2024

    By Christmas of 1914 the war in Europe had been raging for 5 months. A 500 mile long line of trenches stretched from the North Sea, France and Belgium to the Swiss border- the trenches sometimes as close as 100 feet apart. Here we share a number of documented stories of moments of truce beginning on Christmas Eve- when men from opposing armies met in the no man's land between the trenches to exchange tobacco, buttons, and even handshakes before returning to their posts. In some places along the front, men played football (soccer) using whatever was available.
