2000s

Notes

• During Game 3 of the 2000 World Series, ESPN Radio announcer Jon Miller was forced to leave the booth after the top of the first inning due to an upper respiratory infection. Charley Steiner, who was serving as a pre-game host and field reporter for the network, filled in on play-by-play for the rest of the game; Miller resumed his duties in Game 4 of the Series.^[171]
• 2001 – ESPN Radio provided national radio coverage for the fourth consecutive year, with Jon Miller and Joe Morgan calling the action.
  • Locally, the Series was broadcast by KTAR-AM in Phoenix with Thom Brennaman, Greg Schulte, Rod Allen and Jim Traber, and by WABC-AM in New York City with John Sterling and Michael Kay. This would be Sterling and Kay's last World Series working together, and Game 7 would be the last Yankee broadcast on WABC. Kay moved to television and the new YES Network the following season and WCBS picked up radio rights to the Yankees. It was Kay who announced Derek Jeter's game-winning home run in Game 4 of the series and subsequently anointed him as "Mr. November".
• Jon Miller, who called the 2002 World Series for ESPN Radio, has been play-by-play man for the San Francisco Giants since 1997. Coincidentally, KNBR, the Giants' longtime flagship station, was also San Francisco's ESPN Radio affiliate at the time.
  • Locally, the
    Terry Smith, and by KNBR in San Francisco with Duane Kuiper, Joe Angel, and Mike Krukow
    .
• Locally,
  KTRH-AM and WMVP were the primary carriers for the 2005 World Series in the Houston and Chicago markets. For KTRH long time Astros voice Milo Hamilton provided play-by-play while John Rooney called the games for the White Sox. Game 4 was Rooney's last call after seventeen years as the radio voice of the White Sox, as he left to take the same position with the St. Louis Cardinals
  .
• Chicago White Sox
  , and thus became the first announcer to call back-to-back World Series championships as an employee of different teams.
• 2007 – Locally, Joe Castiglione and Glenn Geffner called the Series for the Red Sox on WRKO in Boston, while Jack Corrigan and Jeff Kingery called it for the Rockies on KOA in Denver. Per contractual obligation, the non-flagship stations on the teams' radio networks carried the ESPN Radio broadcasts.
• On radio, the 2008 World Series was broadcast nationally by ESPN Radio with Jon Miller and Joe Morgan announcing, and a Spanish broadcast on ESPN Deportes Radio.
  • Locally,
    Fox's Tim McCarver and Harry Kalas. Both were Phillies broadcasters in 1980, but neither one could call the final out.^[174] McCarver was a backup commentator for Game of the Week on NBC, but he was not part of the broadcast team that called the final out.^[174] For Kalas, MLB radio-broadcasting regulations forbade local stations from producing live coverage of World Series games, instead forcing them to air the national CBS Radio feed of the games.^[173] Philadelphia fans were so outraged about this afterward that they started a letter-writing campaign to the Commissioner's Office, demanding a change to the rule. The following year, MLB amended its broadcasting contracts to allow World Series teams' flagship radio stations to air the games with local announcers, due at least in part to this outcry from Philadelphia fans.^[174]
    In 2008, both called the Phillies' World Series win.
• WCBS-AM carried the Yankees' English broadcasts with John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman announcing.^[176] This broadcast made Waldman the first woman to announce a World Series game on radio.^[177] XM Satellite Radio offered multiple feeds of each game to its subscribers.^[178]

• 1990 – Vin Scully returned to CBS Radio's coverage of the World Series for the first time since 1982 (Scully then called the 1984, 1986 and 1988 World Series for NBC television), calling the series alongside Johnny Bench. Scully would go on to call the next six series for CBS, first with Bench and later with Jeff Torborg.
• CJCL-AM in Toronto by Jerry Howarth and Tom Cheek
  .
• The national radio broadcast of the 1993 World Series was also provided by CBS, with Vin Scully and Johnny Bench on the call. Game 6 marked Johnny Bench's final broadcast for CBS Radio after nine years.
  • Locally, the Series was called on
    brain cancer. Meanwhile, Harry Kalas would not call another World Series until 2008. Kalas later died in 2009 prior to a game at Nationals Park
    in Washington, D.C.. Chris Wheeler continues to call games for the Phillies although in a limited capacity and Jerry Howarth has continued to call Blue Jays games, moving into the primary play-by-play position following the death of Cheek.
• The
  Fox television until the end of the 2000 season, working alongside John Rooney and Chip Caray, when he elected to return to managing and was hired by the Montreal Expos
  .
  • Game 7 was the final Major League Baseball game called by longtime Indians radio announcer
    Tom Hamilton, would take over as lead announcer the following year. It also marked the final game carried by Indians flagship station WKNR; the broadcast rights would be moved to WTAM for the 1998 season
    .
• Rick Sutcliffe substituted for Joe Morgan on the ESPN Radio broadcast of the 1999 World Series due to Morgan's duties for NBC Sports, who had the rights to the series that year, taking priority.

• In
  KMOX, the St. Louis Cardinals' flagship station at the time, simulcast with CBS Radio's World Series coverage involving the Cardinals. That was mainly because Jack Buck
  had a lengthy career calling Cardinals games for KMOX (a station owned by CBS until 2018) to go along with his national work for CBS Radio.
  • In 1985 and 1986, CBS Radio designated the fifth inning of each Series game as a "Home Team Inning."^[187] A local announcer for the visiting team would appear on the network's broadcast in the top of the fifth, with the home team announcer doing so in the bottom of the fifth.
• In 1986, CBS Radio used Rick Dempsey as a reporter.^[188][189]
  • Locally, the series was called on
    Bob Murphy and Gary Thorne, and on WPLM-FM in Boston by Ken Coleman and Joe Castiglione
    .
• Jack Buck and Bill White provided commentary for the 1988 World Series for CBS Radio. It was White's last World Series as a broadcaster, as he left broadcasting to become President of the National League following the final game. This was Buck's call of Kirk Gibson's game-winning home run off of Dennis Eckersley in Game 1. It begins here with Buck speculating on what might happen if Gibson manages to reach base:

... then you would run for Gibson and have Sax batting. But, we have a big 3–2 pitch coming here from Eckersley. Gibson swings, and a fly ball to deep right field! This is gonna be a home run! Unbelievable! A home run for Gibson! And the Dodgers have won the game, five to four; I don't believe what I just saw! I don't believe what I just saw! Is this really happening, Bill? One of the most remarkable finishes to any World Series Game...a one-handed home run by Kirk Gibson! And the Dodgers have won it...five to four; and I'm stunned, Bill. I have seen a lot of dramatic finishes in a lot of sports, but this one might top almost every other one.

• On October 17,
  Loma Prieta earthquake hit (and subsequently caused a ten-day delay for the World Series). Unlike ABC-Television (with Al Michaels, Jim Palmer and Tim McCarver
  calling the action on the TV side), CBS Radio was in a commercial break when the earthquake struck. After the earthquake hit, Jack Buck told the listening audience, "I must say about Johnny Bench, folks, if he moved that fast when he played, he would have never hit into a double play. I never saw anybody move that fast in my life."
  • This was Buck's seventh and last World Series call for CBS Radio, as he moved to CBS' television coverage of baseball the following year. Bench continued to call the World Series on radio through 1993 as Vin Scully's color man.
  • Locally, the 1989 World Series was broadcast by KSFO-AM in San Francisco with Bill King, Lon Simmons and Ray Fosse, and by KNBR in San Francisco with Hank Greenwald and Ron Fairly.

1970s

Notes

• When
  Ross Porter worked the Los Angeles Dodgers' appearances in 1977 and 1978. In addition, the network used Marty Brennaman in 1976, when his Cincinnati Reds
  played against White's Yankees.
  • Win Elliot served as a color commentator on CBS Radio's coverage from 1976 to 1978, teaming with the respective local play-by-play announcers for each game's broadcast.
• In
  trophy
  presentation ceremony for ABC). Likewise, Porter handled the ABC pre/postgame while in Los Angeles.
• 1979 was the first year in which one announcer (in this case, CBS Radio's Vin Scully^[199]) provided all of the play-by-play for a World Series radio broadcast. In prior years, the play-by-play announcers and color commentators had alternated roles during each game or between games.
  • CBS Radio, following the lead begun by ABC's television coverage in 1977, dropped the usage of local team broadcasters on play-by-play when Vin Scully began doing the World Series as a CBS employee through
    flagship
    radio stations were permitted to produce their own local World Series broadcasts and air them live. The affiliate stations in the teams' radio networks continued to be obligated to carry the CBS Radio broadcasts.)

1960s

Notes

• Beginning in 1966 and continuing through 1975, a local announcer for the visiting team in each Series game would split play-by-play and color commentary with a neutral NBC Radio announcer. Prior to 1966 and going back to the dawn of the television era, Series radio broadcasts typically featured announcers from around the major leagues (generally pairing one announcer from an AL team and another from an NL team), with the regular announcers for both the home and visiting Series participants splitting play-by-play on NBC television. In broadcasts of Series-clinching (or potentially Series-clinching) games on both media, NBC sent the announcer for whichever team was ahead in the game to that team's clubhouse in the ninth inning in order to help cover the trophy presentation and conduct post-game interviews.

1950s

Notes

• NBC Radio succeeded Mutual as the exclusive World Series radio network beginning in 1957.^[213]

• NBC's Graham McNamee could not call World Series play-by-play because they hadn't called any regular season games.^[235] Hoey was removed from the CBS broadcast during the fourth inning of Game 1 after his voice gave out on the air. Although he was subsequently reported as having suffered from a cold, Hoey's garbled and incoherent speech led many listeners to think he was drunk.^[235][236] After this incident, Hoey never went into a broadcast booth without a tin of throat lozenges.^[235]
• The
  NBC. Commissioner Landis barred Detroit Tigers announcer Ty Tyson from appearing on network radio, citing the risk of partiality in his commentary; however, after Tigers fans sent in more than 600,000 letters of protest, Landis agreed to allow Tyson to call the Series locally on Detroit station WWJ.^[237][238]
• In
  Gillette signed an agreement purchasing exclusive broadcast and sponsorship rights to the World Series for US$100,000.^[239] A special promotion of Gillette razors and blueblades sold four times better than preliminary estimates, leading the company to secure additional sports sponsorships. The Gillette stable of sports broadcasts, which aired under the umbrella title of Gillette Cavalcade of Sports, spanned several different networks (including NBC, CBS, and Mutual radio) and grew to include not only ongoing sponsorship of baseball's World Series and All-Star Game but also the annual Kentucky Derby in horseracing, the Rose Bowl Game and other college football games, and professional boxing
  . Mutual continued as the exclusive World Series radio network until 1957, while Gillette's exclusive sponsorship of the event extended into the early television era and continued until the late 1950s.

• Before radio, reporters would telegraph World Series info to centers where game boards were set up to display to thousands.
• The
  Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, WBZ in Springfield, Massachusetts, and WJZ in Newark, New Jersey.^[245][246] KDKA's coverage, featuring play-by-play commentary from Grantland Rice, was live, direct, and exclusive from the Polo Grounds. Meanwhile, WBZ and WJZ coverage was relayed^[247] and re-created by Tommy Cowan. Sandy Hunt, a sportswriter for the Newark Sunday Call, sent play-by-play reports/summaries to Cowan via the telephone.^[248]
• Note on 1922 through 1926: World Series coverage carried by Westinghouse Broadcasting was available to any commercially operated radio station.
• The
  Bill McGeehan did the play-by-play honors at first. However, when McGeehan reportedly tired of the chore, he quit in the middle of Game 3.^[249] Shortly thereafter, Graham McNamee
  took over play-by-play duties.
  • WEAF^[250] via their long-distance lines to stations as far north as Massachusetts
    and as far south as Washington, D.C.
• The 1927 World Series was the first to be broadcast from coast to coast over a full radio network.
• The 1929 World Series was the first to be broadcast in Canada.^[251]

Local radio

Since 1982, the participating teams' flagship radio stations are permitted to air their own World Series broadcasts with their regular announcing crews, and their audio is made available as usual through MLB's digital presences and Sirius XM. However, the teams' other radio network affiliates are contractually obligated to carry the national radio feeds. The flagship stations also much mention the coverage as being presented by the same sponsor as the ESPN Radio broadcasts.

Notes

• flagship
  radio stations were permitted to produce their own local World Series broadcasts and air them live. In prior years, these stations were contractually required to carry the national radio networks' broadcasts (although they could produce re-created games with local announcers and air them after the Series had ended). The affiliate stations in the teams' radio networks continued to be obligated to carry the national broadcasts.
  • After thousands of Phillies fans—outraged over being unable to hear local team announcers Harry Kalas and Richie Ashburn call the games during the 1980 World Series—deluged the team, the networks, and the Commissioner's office with angry letters and petitions, Major League Baseball changed its broadcast contract to allow the flagship radio stations for participating World Series teams to produce and air their own local Series broadcasts beginning in 1982.^[252][253] When the Phillies next won a World Series, in 2008, Kalas was able to make the call of the final out.
• In
  KMOX, the St. Louis Cardinals' flagship station at the time, simulcast with CBS Radio's World Series coverage involving the Cardinals. That was mainly because Jack Buck
  had a lengthy career calling Cardinals games for KMOX to go along with his national work for CBS Radio.
