It's been long enough since we've rolled over to a new GDT and some people ( :p )were getting on me about not having the other one updated because I was super busy last week, so we'll start fresh for the week and the homestand which begins on Tuesday. Monday is an off-day but I figured I'll get the thread up early so I don't forget because I might be busy again tomorrow.
As always, the same conduct rules about drive-by posting and thread-hijacking tantrums apply, as do any previous sanctions you've received (ie if you were booted from the last thread you will get booted from this one at the first instance of breaking the rules. Only extended periods of good behaviour will earn back trust. Like lasting the entire thread without freaking out and annoying everyone.)
The other matchups for the rest of this series are:
Wednesday: Eduardo Rodriguez vs TBD for the Jays
Thursday: Ryne Nelson vs Kevin Gausman
Thursday's game is also an early start, 3pm ET/noon PT.
Just so the off day doesn't go to waste, I do have another vintage baseball broadcast to share if you want something to listen to this evening:
How about traveling back to June 4, 1957 for an evening game at Ebbets field pitting the Brooklyn Dodgers against the Chicago Cubs? This was in the middle of what turned out to be the Dodgers' final season in New York before relocating to Los Angeles for the start of the 1958 season. It's also some of the earliest work from a young Vin Scully, splitting the play-by-play duties for the Dodgers broadcast with the team's incumbent broadcaster Jerry Doggett.
On the field there's some familiar names, mostly on the Dodger side of things. Chicago's only marquee name in this game is Mr. Cub himself, Ernie Banks. But in spite of losing Jackie Robinson to retirement after the 1956 season, Brooklyn still ran out a formidable lineup with Roy Campanella, Gil Hodges, Duke Snider, and a promising young lefty on the mound who you may (
) have heard of: Sandy Koufax in just his 3rd season in the big leagues. Future noteworthy coach Don Zimmer also started the game at shortstop, giving Pee Wee Reese the day off (though Reese had begun to decline and this season marked a significant reduction in his playing time before he would end up retiring after playing sparingly in the team's first season out west.)
As always if you enjoy and actually listen to these games let me know so I can gauge whether or not there is continuing interest in me providing these. I'll also take feedback and requests about game choices or focuses. Though my archive of available games isn't unlimited. I can't speak to what's for sure available on youtube but the original downloaded MP3s I collected have some holes in them.
And if you want to be alerted whenever I post a broadcast like this, be sure to leave a like/reaction to this post so I can add your name to the list of people who I flag below.

Regular season games: I have about a dozen from the 1930s, nothing from the 40s, a handful of early 50s games, and the largest chunk from about 1957 to 1973. Many teams seem to be represented, but the most frequent clubs are the White Sox, Yankees, Dodgers, and eventually Mets, with fewer games for the likes of the Pirates, Cardinals, Athletics, Red Sox, and Giants though the years.
All-Star Games: I have every game from 1934 to 1944 (we've listend to 34 and 36 already), 1948, most games between 1955 and 1966 (missing 58, 61, 65) and 1970
Playoff series: I think I have most World Series in at least some capacity between 1934 and 1973, though many are incomplete and missing some games or parts of games. Complete series I have are 1948, 49, 59, 60, 63, 64, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, and 73. Most other years I do at least have the championship-winning game even if the series is incomplete.
I would expect that as we get out of the early 1960s there is probably a larger chance that I may not find youtube uploads of some of those games as the rules regarding public domain radio broadcasts become murkier the closer to the present that we get. As best as I can tell, a lot of radio stuff from 1957 or before is effectively public domain because of old rules, but it's not 100% set in stone. And newer stuff than that is less likely to be unprotected or ignored
