Bob Feller Show

Ernie Calverley's Buzzer-Beater in the '46 NIT

von

The Bob Feller Show features baseball star Bob Feller in a radio program centered on sports and his public persona. This recording’s title points to Ernie Calverley’s buzzer-beater in the 1946 National Invitation Tournament, bringing a notable moment from college basketball into the program’s subject matter.

Listeners can expect a sports-oriented broadcast rather than a fictional radio drama, with the appeal rooted in hearing a celebrated athlete speak in the radio setting of his era. The program offers a glimpse of how sports figures and current athletic events were presented to listeners, while the reference to Calverley’s last-second shot gives this installment a specific connection to the excitement of tournament basketball.
