World Series - The Lineups - 1912 - Boston Red Sox vs New York Giants

"The Lineups" is a video series which gives people a chance to "virtually" hear the starting lineups of every World Series Game 1 from 1903 up into the fifties. This video gives the listener the unique opportunity to step back in time to hear what names such as Walter Johnson or Ty Cobb might have sounded in the stadium back in the day while providing unemployed Public Address Announcers the opportunity to announce classic baseball teams during the Coronavirus Crisis.

Since the first "Automatic Enunciators" were not installed until 1913 (Ebbets and Comiskey), most games featured megaphone men. Actual "Public Address Systems" did not come up about until 1919 during the Republican National Convention. These systems mostly piped music into the stadium. General use of P.A. Systems played little role in baseball until the thirties. The modern recordings in these videos take the "just imagine" approach to allow us the listening pleasure of monikers like Mathewson and Baker by a professional announcer for the very first time.

Each video is dedicated to a different state's First Responders and Health Care Workers who have put their lives on the line to help all the rest of us survive through this trying period. For this, we thank them with these simple videos we hope will put a smile on their faces.

No money, in any form, was made off of this project. It was put together in gratitude and hope.

All announcers volunteered their time, in the spirit of coping, hope and fun, to perform. We thank each one for their time and gifting us some baseball from some games mostly forgotten.
