On this episode you’ll hear stories from a 30 year broadcast veteran with the Houston Astros and member of that team's Hall of Fame, who as a boy growing up in central Missouri was mesmerized by the sounds of baseball on the radio and in 1964 followed his favorite team The St. Louis Cardinals through one of baseball’s most bizarre seasons with three teams tied for first place one week to go. Bill Brown shares how the Cardinals’ championship year of 1964 fueled his love for baseball, and how listening to Harry Caray and Jack Buck on KMOX inspired his dream of becoming a baseball announcer.
