Love it! Having spent years in radio, here's one from my personal collection that I like. Hope you like it too! When Boston Braves 2nd baseman Eddie Stanky broke his ankle, he signed to do a nightly sportscast for WVOM (Voice of Massachusetts) in July 1948. Here he is reading the sports headlines.

That reminds me of this photograph of Jack Graney in 1932 during his first season as Cleveland Indians baseball announcer for WHK.

One of the things I focus on is the sportswriters and broadcasters-- without them, we wouldn't know much about baseball in previous generations. Here's Jocko Maxwell, the 1st Black sportscaster. The photo is from circa 1933. I also wrote a bio about him for SABR. https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/jocko-maxwell/
