Surviving play-by-play transmissions of major-league baseball, weighted toward the World Series, running from the 1934 Cardinals–Tigers Series through the Mutual, NBC and CBS network years. Most are complete games as aired, sponsor announcements and all, rather than later highlight edits. Digitised by the Classic Baseball on the Radio project and streamed from the Internet Archive.

The shape of the run
What survives, year by year
93 dated broadcasts across 93 years on the air, with 84 years where nothing is known to survive. Brightness is transfer quality; empty cells are months lost to time.
