Brooklyn Dodgers vs NY Giants, Ebbets Field 4/22/1950-full radio broadcast-Red Barber/Connie Desmond
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 січ 2013
- The earliest of only 3 regular season Brooklyn Dodgers games called by Red Barber known to survive (all from 1950). Original full radio broadcast, and the first Dodgers game carried on a national radio network, Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, Saturday, April 22, 1950, against their arch-rivals, the New York Giants, and the first weekend of the young season. Dodgers went in 3-1, the Giants 0-4. Both would turn out to have fine seasons, but fall short of the Whiz Kid Phillies for the '50 pennant. The Ol' Redhead himself calls the first 3 and last 3 innings, and Connie Desmond the middle 3. And there's endless ad reads for the brand new Post Sugar Crisp cereal! Ebbets announcer Tex Rickards can be heard at the beginning and end of the game (each batter had yet to be announced in ballparks), and Gladys Gooding on the Ebbets Field organ. So as Red says, "join us now for another Brooklyn ball game" - a classic time capsule of a Dodgers/Giants showdown in Flatbush, enjoy!
** Spoilers - Game results below! **
Gil Hodges hit a solo HR in the 2nd, Giants P Jack Kramer a 2-run shot in the 4th, and Hank Thompson a solo shot in the 7th.
Line score:
NYG 2 0 0 - 3 0 0 - 1 0 0 - 6 8 2
BRO 0 1 0 - 0 4 1 - 0 1 x - 7 7 0

As I get older, I find myself not being able to sleep. To go to sleep listening to the articulate and lyrical Redhead at such a holy place as Ebbetts Field is to have a little glimpse of heaven. Thank you for this.
Same here 👍
Ditto
This makes me very emotional, I would do anything to jump into this radio broadcast and never come back. Truly a magical world we never will experience again. The Trolley Dodgers were the best team on Earth.
What a great decade to be a New York City baseball fan, wow.
Amazing that this old radio broadcast is still in good condition after seventy two years. Red Barber was one of the best baseball announcers of all time! Great baseball history!
I know my dad was at this game or listening on the radio.......I love these old broadcasts....what a great time to be alive.
This is a great find. Born in 1953 in St. Louis and long time Cards fan this is prior to my time. I play the baseball strat-o-matic game and I have the 1950 Yankees, 1950 Phillies, 1946 Cards, 1953 Dodgers, 1954 Indians and the 1954 Giants teams of this era offered by that game. The game is so realistic and because of that game being so realistic it's like replaying games like this one. Thanks for placing on UA-cam. I feel like I know many of these players even though I never saw them play.
This is magical time travel! What a gift to have it available for free on-line. Thank you to the one who posted it.
So great; the fans seem so close to the action and much more animated than today's fans, they just loved their Dodgers, wish Ebbets Field were still intact as a monument. Much thanks for the post.
Not really....it's just poor audio mixing.....the sound man should have run the crowd noise much lower, so it didn't interfere w/ the announcer.
Earliest Red Barber regular season Brooklyn Dodgers full game audio (of only 3) known to survive. Great quality. In the annals of baseball radio history, it doesn’t get much better than this.
Brings back so many childhood memories, good times with my Dad. Thank you so much.
Wow i'm amazed af how good the audio is after almost 70 years later.
Kinda slow day at work, have this running through my ears, and man.. Thank you so much for this.
Wow, Red Barber is good. I imagine the guy who replaced him had a really tough time, I wonder if he lasted all that long.
That's a good one!
Funny Clutch
Clutch Cargo Red was great but the Scooter rules!!!Who forget those great anecdotes about Cora making the cannoli s !!
Mr. Chopsticks Vince Scully replaced Red Barber...did Dodger broadcasts from 1950 until 2016...66 seasons...Barber did Dodger baseball for 14 seasons...
I think you missed the sarcasm in the post you replied to.
Wish I could have attended a game @ Ebbets Field!
My mother took me once.
Iam going to listen to this game in it's entirety
As am I....Jim...two days after the Giants vs Royals world series has ended. I miss it already.This was the year that Jackie could be unleashed after he had honored Branch Rickey's 'no retaliation of any kind' mandate for the first 3 years. Jackie at 2B.
Classic!
If anyone else wants to score the game, which is fun for me, the first base coach for the Dodgers is Jake Pitler, 3rd base is Milt Stock. Weather was 50 degrees, 10 mph. Giants cf is Thomson, no P, 3b is Thompson with a P.
When I hear Red Barber's voice, I immediately become ten years old again. Baseball is the only sport that lends itself to baseball. It moves at a pace which can be easily described to listeners.
If baseball didn't lend itself to baseball, I don't know what would. ;-)
Deja Vu !
Red sounds like he's about 8 feet from the fans :) Giants-Dodgers games were legendary for the fans.
"...and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters." This is like looking through an old window pane for a brief glimpse at an ordinary day in 1950.
Red Barber was the master and such a good mentor to Vin Scully. What a treat to listen to this broadcast.
I wasn't born yet, but when I was 7, I went to Ebbets with my dad. Saw Robinson, Hodges, the Duke, Peewee, Campy, and the rest. Omg. But we moved to LA IN 58 so I haven't missed a season in person. My dad was a Yankees fan and loved when Barber did their broadcasts.
This guy was awesome, one of the best ever. You have to love that accent. This is a great thing you have put here.
Thank you so much for posting. My favorite announcers: Red Barber, Connie Desmond, and Marty Glickman. Vince Scully too. I hope we see more, of the 50's Dodgers, Giants, and NY Yankees-the Golden Age of Baseball.
I'm gonna buy me some Sugar Crisp...ya-hear-ah.
Notice how Red effortlessly calls the play by play and plugs Post cereal.
The sign of a true professional.
Fabulous! What a treat!
Great to hear the old red head. This was before my time, but as a Dodgers fan, this gives me some sense of what it was like in days gone by in Brooklyn.
Wow! That was great! I work at home, had this on and did time fly. I've heard stories of Brooklyn my whole life and it was a true pleasure to hear a game. I can't wait to hear the 1957 game, I really hope you put more up. Thanks!
If you start the MLB on FOX theme at 0:17. It is freaky how well it lines up. I know it isn't what a purist would do but it just goes to show how perfected the art of broadcasting was even back then.
So true. They all sound the same! Vin Scully and Jon Miller are about the only distinctive voices left in baseball broadcasting. The rest of them..you can't tell one from the other.
Nice post, good listen for fans that never heard Red Barber.
I loved how he referred to Bedford Avenue as a 6 lane highway!!
Vin Scully was, by then, part of Dodgers' radio team, but in his rookie season. His duties were to assist Red Barber and Connie Desmond, read an occasional live commercial and do play-by-play for an occasional inning, here and there, to give Barber and Desmond a break. In the next few years Scully would do more play-by-play, especially after the Dodgers started broadcasting more games on TV. Also Desmond developed a drinking problem and would miss some games.
Thanks uploading this broadcast, if you have more please upload them.
AWESOME!! Listen to these games while I'm studying, really get absorbed into it! Thanks for the upload.
Thank you for posting. I just shared with my dad who grew up near the Polo Grounds but he was a Dodgers fan. We are Mets fans now. Creepy how they mention that this is being broadcasted coast to coast. Sign of things to come
Thanks for posting this radio transcription. A time when baseball was America's game.
Awesome. I was born 6 months later and loved to listen to baseball on the radio. It's just not as good now, and one reason is that I can't find a decent AM radio.
You can find the box score for this game at Baseball Reference. What an amazing site that is.
Holy crap! Wow! Thanks for uploading this.
In his autobiography, Rhubarb in the Catbird Seat, Red Barber wrote he left the Dodgers after the 1953 season due to a dispute on how much he would be paid to work the World Series and was not supported by Walter O'Malley. Barber urged Vin Scully to replace him for the World Series. Tex Rickards always introduced Yogi Berra as Larry Berra.
Everything about this is fantastic. I'm a huge San Francisco born and bred Giants fan and emphasis on how much both teams really hated each other rings true. Yes, we all still vomit at the mouth thinking about Dodger blue.
What's amazing is that the voice of the Brooklyn Dodgers was a southerner from Mississippi. Red Barber was one of a kind. I love it.
gross cheater orange
The mind of a giants fan is strange. They want to vomit looking at a beautiful blue and white uniform yet they love that ugly Halloween colored uniform of theirs
This was before "the shot heard 'round the world," and at 3:00 Red Barber had to explain to the national audience who Bobby Thomson was. It is also interesting that at 6:05 he noted that it was the custom at Ebbets Field to play the National Anthem before every game, "not just opening day and special occasions. That's the way they feel about it here in Brooklyn." No mention of how many players took a knee. Talk about a time capsule!
Also 26 years before Rick Monday's great play to save the flag from being burned.
Bigtime Bravos fan here, but if y'all don't dig this, then I would seriously have to question whether or not you really like baseball at all.
so we have to like this if we like baseball?
You got it, Sparky. That is unless you are one of those cat's who's initial interest in the game started with the steroid era. Which by reading your comment suggest's that you probably did. No disrespect intented.
early wild card era
Awesome....the ol' Redhead from Ebbets Field.
This is not a criticism on Red Barber, only an observation. Years ago I saw an interview with Red where he was asked how he called Jackie Robinson’s first game. He said that he treated Jackie like any other player. In the movie “42” Red was portrayed as describing Jackie’s first at bat by saying something along the lines of that he had a tan complexion. In this game (3 years later) he mentions Bankhead is the first negro (common term of the era and I don’t believe he meant it in a derogatory way) and Hank Thompson as the first negro player on the Giants. All that said, I am betting he described Jackie Robinson’s first game exactly the way he described Bankhead and Thompson. That’s just an interesting historical observation that I thought I would share.
I would think your assumption is correct, but as you state the term “negro” was common parlance in the day. That said, Barber has said and written about how, coming from the deep South, he did struggle with Jackie’s promotion, but ultimately he just treated him as a fellow man and as a ballplayer, and learned a great deal from the experience. Love your channel, by the way!
I love the broadcasters (Red Barber) accent, I don't think I've heard anything quite like it.
Wow! This game was being broadcast on my second birthday which was being celebrated in the Bronx. I probably wasn't listening. Lol! Thanks for the memories.
The guy who replaced red barber was none other than vin scully who from 1950 to 2016 worked all dodgers games Brooklyn and losAngeles
This is a treasure
very cool piece of history.
Thanks for posting. My era...My Team...Matt
My earliest memories of Red Barber are from his years with the NY Yankees, when he was one third of the Allen/Barber/Rizzuto team. I wish I could have experienced his time with the Dodgers, when New York City was the baseball capital of the country owing to the 3 teams we had and the fact that a NY team was in the World Series almost every year for 2 decades. Whoooa Doctor!
Connie Desmond teamed with Vin Scully for until some point in the 1956 season. Connie does the second half of this video. He was good when he was sober but O'Malley finally had enough of his showing up drunk and fired him. Walter gave Connie Desmond a lot of second chances. Jerry Doggett was hired sometime before opening day of 1957 and lasted 32 years, finally retiring at age 70. Later, they picked up Ross Porter who lasted 28 years. Ross was fired by the next owner. If you got along with the O'Malleys, you had a job for life. Roy Campanella was on the payroll until the day he died. When I lived in California in the 1980's, there were still Brooklyn people working for the Dodgers. The hours are very long during the baseball season so one year, in the off season, Peter O'Malley took the entire year round staff to Hawaii and sat at a table by the pool signing room service checks.
great rivalry game between the dodgers and the giants. Thank you for posting this
You can tell by listening to Red Barber that Vin Scully's style was very similar albeit without the southern accent
Love it! Great broadcast!
Now . . . if it could only actually send us back to 1950 (!)
I need to go get some sugar crisp cereal!
Now all I can think about is eating Sugar Crisp!
Dreaming of spring listening to this --- thx Red (& al & jake)
Modern baseball has nothing on badeball from the 1950s
My Dad’s Dad use to watch the Brooklyn Dodgers on tv in 1955 against The New York Yankees
"The Invading Giants...." Pure Gold.
Wow,this brings back memories of my very young childhood!
Gladys Gooding at the organ playing the national anthem. She's the answer to the following trivia question: Who's the only person ever to play for the Dodgers, Knicks and Rangers?
I can't help but noticing all the sounds of kids at the ballpark. Dont really hear those during radio baseball broadcasts anymore.
Baseball was always better before 1960 and on the radio, wish their were more.
Such genuinely innocent, good-natured dialogue. GG, almost makes even Scully seem snarky by comparison 😝
This was just awesome.Thanks for posting.This is what REAL baseball is about.And for you die hard baseball fans you can relive the entire 1950 baseball season anytime you want.Just google APBA Games.I have played the APBA table top version since 1997.Baseball is my life my wife.I have so many season sets I forgot how many I have.They may still have the 1950 set in stock.The game is as real as what ya see on T.V. or here on the radio.But only better.These players are in the 1950 set.I have it.
THE BEST EVER. PERIOD. I grew up in the 1960s - the era of Koufax and Vin Scully, two of the best. But Scully was not as good as The Redhead. Scully was definitely the best since Barber, but Barber was the best ever..
This game featured Dodgers hurler Dan Bankhead, the first African-American pitcher in MLB history
I respectfully suggest listening to Mike Shannon cover the Cardinals if you ever have the chance. I wouldn't describe him as "Camel-throated", but he definitely doesn't sound like he majored in speech at Princeton!
Why does he spell out the names of a lot of the players? I'm guessing it was for people keeping score at home?
Great stuff.
Tennessee Williams and Red Barber have something in common both were born in Columbus MS.
Wow.... Imagine that, the National Anthem played and sung the way it was written. Amazing.
1950 was legendary Vin Scully's first year with the Brooklyns...where was he?
Red is a legend, but Vin is the GOAT.
vin would do tv, red would do radio
Man, I really want some post cereal right now.
Nearly three hours but I was absorbed nearly every second of it. The old radio broadcasters turned the games into stories. Today's TV announcers have NOTHING by comparison. Joe Buck and most of his fellows just suck the air out of the room when they call a game. Like they've been trained to make it as painfully dull as possible.
I find it is the home announcers on radio, who are quieter and more sedate. The network clowns try to make everything far more dramatic
It's harder for TV announcers these days to tell stories when it seems like after every at-bat they are changing pitchers or going to or just getting back from commercial breaks, or tossing it down to some lame sideline reporter to get their worthless opinions or for them to conduct an in game interview with the manager/players that rarely add anything to the game etc. etc. The way they broadcast the game has ruined it for me as there isn't any real natural flow to the game. It's just constant interruptions, which makes it harder to listen to for me. With that said, Joe Buck does suck lol
I want some Post Toasties.
youtube is great ain't it?
Willie Mays started for the Giants in 1951.
Thanks for that
What a great find! I posted a link to this on The Brooklyn Dodger Memories forum in the Eastern Parkway Memories board. Anybody with more gems are urged to sign up and post their links and memories there.
Stanky tagged up and moved to second on a deep fly to center. A common play today, it surprised everyone in 1950.
Notice the time of the game 2 hours and 43 minutes, just watched Red Sox Astros game four time of game 4 hours 7 minutes.
Yeah it’s one thing if it’s a 10-9 game...but a 1-0 game shouldn’t approach the three hour mark
Great! I'm watching the Dodgers and listening to Vin and between innings I'll listen to Red. Too good to be true!
I'm proud to say I listened to these broadcasts when the announcers on radio painted a picture which was planted indelibly in your mind. Red Barber, Connie Desmond and a new red-headed announcer making his debut year. I seem to think his name was Vin something. Whatever happened to him?
What great memories. Made me feel like a kid again.
LOL! Probably faded into obscurity. ;o))
Vin Scully....
cool video dud.
Bring the braves back to Boston...they can support two teams better than Atlanta supports one.
UA-cam time machine strikes again
Hodges hitting 6th and Campanella 8th. Wow.
How long did Tex Rickards do PA for the Dodgers?
42 brought me here
Can I still get the 1950 Dodger yearbook for 25 cents and a box top?
only two umpires on the bases then....did not know that!
Americana at it's finest
Robinson was deader than a doornail at home!What a terrible call!
how bout that shift red? 2020 no more hits
4:45
