The Making of Home Run Baker

For Mr. Baseball

For those of us who grew up listening to him, it wasn’t just the Brewers we were tuning in for—it was Bob. He was a friend through the radio waves, a companion for every pitch and every home run. It’s hard to put into words what his voice meant to the fans of Milwaukee, but on those warm summer nights, he made you feel like you were home, even if you were far away from the ballpark.

The Grand Old Man

Connie Mack started playing baseball before electric light was invented, and by the time he retired from the game, baseball had been played at night, under lights for nearly 2 decades. His career started before Cy Young in 1890 threw his first big league pitch and it ended after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in 1947. His love for the game echoed that of a nation that was growing and expanding through the decades, and all the while, Connie Mack was there bringing baseball to the masses with a kind, soft spoken approach in a full suit and tie.   Music From: Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/revo/kinetic License code: HMC4ZXZEGZQ0DJLY Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/mountaineer/childhood-friend License code: XULMMTKIEOIXFPSZ Music from #Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/ak/sky-high License code: 5QOUIDHS1607VSCL Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/revo/universal [https://click.pstmrk.it/3s/uppbeat.io%2Ft%2Frevo%2Funiversal/vZub/xl_4AQ/AQ/f6a3cd91-c896-4a49-94f9-c37c9e3e2c24/4/Q6uvEyztmy] License code: TI1TFQNEVJHVW8HX

McGraw wasn’t just part of baseball—he was baseball.
