"No team in all the world of sport gets the constant day-in, day-out coverage of the World Champion New York Yankees. Even in the off-season, Yankee activities are reported each day. The New York metropolitan press, syndicated columnists, the wire services, regional writers from rival cities .... all cover the Yankees in spring and throughout the season.
Yankee games are broadcast every day to a large network of eastern stations, and more than 130 games a year are televised to New York and to regional fans. The CBS 'Game of the Week' telecasts Yankee home weekend games almost every Saturday and Sunday.
Yes, millions of words a year are written and spoken about the Yankees, sports' most renowned organization."

BROADCASTERS
"Baseball's most noted team of broadcasters are the three famed Yankee announcers: Mel Allen, Red Barber and Phil Rizzuto. WCBS, the New York outlet for the CBS network, serves as the basic station for the 102-station lineup in eastern cities. The games are also broadcast by WPIX-Channel 11.
Allen, known as the 'Voice of the Yankees,' is the dean of Yankee broadcasters, having aired Bomber games since the late 1930s. Barber has been a Yankee announcer since 1954 in a distinguished career dating back more than a quarter of a century. Rizzuto, the great Yankee shortstop, turned to broadcasting a few seasons back and has been winning friends ever since."
-The New York Yankees Official 1962 Yearbook
MEL ALLEN (WPIX, WCBS)
"Hello there, everybody, this is Mel Allen." That introduction is one of the most familiar in the world of sports.
Yankee fans always want to hear what Mel has to say- the Yankees making an inning-ending double play or some Pinstriped hero driving in the winning run in the ninth. The Voice of the Yankees is like an old friend- with a sad recollection of Lou Gehrig's final days as a Yankee or an awe-inspiring story of DiMaggio's hitting streak or one of Mantle's most towering home runs. Mel's on-air narration of a Yankee game is as much as part of the New York scene as the Empire State Building or a Broadway show.
RED BARBER (WPIX, WCBS)
Red Barber is a man who tells it like it is, no matter what.
In 1939, he broadcast the first major league game shown on television. The Ol' Redhead has also broadcast the NFL Championship Game, the Army-Navy Game and the Orange Bowl.
Hired by the Yankees away from Dodgers in 1954, the legendary broadcaster is known throughout baseball for his fairness. And when following a long fly ball, Red watches the outfielder, not the ball, and always makes the right call.
PHIL RIZZUTO (WPIX, WCBS)
The all-time Yankee shortstop has been covering the club on radio and television since 1957. Playing for the Yankees from 1941-56, with three years of military service in World War II, Phil was the American League's Most Valuable Player in 1950.

1963 New York Yankees Broadcasters
"The biggest sports story in the country ... that's the New York Yankees. Day in and day out, more words are written, more people cover and more words are spoken on TV and radio about the Yankees than any other sports organization anywhere. The New York metropolitan press, the wire services, syndicated columnists, regional writers from cities where other clubs play .... all cover the Yankees in spring and throughout the season. Yankee games are broadcast daily, televised on more than 130 occasions and TVd [sic] over the CBS Television Network on the 'Game of the Week' on Saturdays and Sundays.

"The distinguished team of four broadcasters who give Yankee fans the play-by-play each day of the season is a noted team of mike men: Mel Allen, Walter 'Red' Barber, Phil Rizzuto and Jerry Coleman.
Allen is the 'dean' of the Yankee broadcasters, having been the 'Voice of the Yankees' since 1939. Barber now in his 30th year before a mike, has been a Yankee broadcaster since1954 and Phil joined the team a few seasons back. This will be Coleman's first year before the Yankee mikes.

MEL ALLEN (WPIX, WCBS)
"Mel Allen is the rebel who became the most durable of Yankees. Born in Alabama, he graduated from the University with intentions of being a lawyer. On a visit to New York, he auditioned as an announcer and the bench (legal style) lost a prospect.
He started his diamond career by calling only the home games of the Yankees and Giants. He rapidly became a national figure through World Series, Rose Bowl and Kentucky Derby assignments and perhaps is the most famous and highly paid in his profession.
Mel Allen made 'How About That?' a universal phrase."

RED BARBER (WPIX, WCBS)
"Walter Lanier ('Red') Barber stands alone in his profession. The man who gave 'rhubarb' to the business was supreme while a daily reporter out of Cincinnati and Ebbets Field. Keen and analytical, his dramatizations were unsurpassed and never did he hesitate at simplifying the most complicated of any playing situation.
Now an announcer of Yankee home games, his pre- and post-game interviews are based on a solid understanding of the sport, and the players appreciate his mature knowledge of their problems."

PHIL RIZZUTO (WPIX, WCBS)
"Phil Rizzuto represents the growing new breed of ex-ball players now populating the sound waves. An honest observer, he lets listeners know when he's having a 'bad' day and calls attention to his 'fluffs.'
Small, aggressive and artful on the field, he was Yankee shortstop 14 years and had a .281 lifetime average. He turned down managerial offers to start his new career.
Rizzuto also does a national radio sports show via CBS."

"The Yankee broadcasting and television team for 1965 is the happy quartet of Joe Coleman, Joe Garagiola, Red Barber and Phil Rizzuto. Games are televised on WPIX-Channel 11 and on unspecified dates on other regional stations. Broadcasts of all games originate in New York on radio station WCBS-AM and FM and are carried by a 40-station radio network in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Massachusetts.
P. Ballantine & Sons of Newark, New Jersey on behalf of Ballantine Beer and Ale, The R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company on behalf of Camels, Winston and Salem cigarettes and the Tidewater Oil Company on behalf of Tydol and Flying A products are the principal sponsors in the New York area in 1965."

"At the WCBS microphone are Phil Rizzuto, Walter 'Red' Barber, Jerry Coleman and Joe Garagiola. You'll hear this quartet on TV and radio when you can't get out to Yankee Stadium. Close to 130 games will be seen on WPIX-Channel 11 and selected weekend games also will be televised in surrounding areas. All games will be broadcast over WCBS AM and FM in New York (880 AM dial and 101.1 FM) and over the 40-station Yankees' 'Home of Champions' radio network.

Joe Garagiola (WPIX-TV, WCBS)
"Joe Garagiola is by far the best of the ex-baseball people who turned to talking after playing. Naturally comical, he's also the only former athlete on the diamond scene who 'informs' why a curve or a fast ball is thrown, why a bunt was or was not ordered, and how come a hit-and-run. Born in St. Louis, he was a boyhood pal of Yogi Berra.
Formerly busy during the week as the Cardinals' on-the-spot man, he'll now be heard and seen throughout the country daily and weekends, exclusively on Monitor and NBC-TV."
-Don Schiffer, 1963 Major League Baseball Handbook
Meet the man who outhit Ted Williams in the 1946 World Series. Although Joe didn't play in nearly as many World Series as his boyhood friend Yogi Berra, he did most of the catching for the Cardinals during that World Championship season.
Joe is in his first season as part of the Yankee broadcast team.

"Yankee baseball will be carried again by WPIX-Channel 11 and by WCBS-AM and FM radio, along with a 40-station network in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Massachusetts. And the four popular Yankees announcers Jerry Coleman, Joe Garagiola, Phil Rizzuto and Red Barber will also be back to bring fans the exciting play-by-play. Sponsors for 1966 are P. Ballantine & Sons of Newark, N.J. on behalf of Ballantine Beer & Ale, Tidewater Oil Company for Flying A gasoline and oil products, General Cigar, and All-State Insurance."
-The New York Yankees Official 1966 Yearbook
RED BARBER (WPIX, WCBS)
Red Barber is a man who tells it like it is, no matter what.
In 1939, he broadcast the first major league game shown on television. The Ol' Redhead has also broadcast the NFL Championship Game, the Army-Navy Game and the Orange Bowl.
Hired by the Yankees away from Dodgers in 1954, the legendary broadcaster is known throughout baseball for his fairness. And when following a long fly ball, Red watches the outfielder, not the ball, and always makes the right call.
PHIL RIZZUTO (WPIX, WCBS)
The all-time Yankee shortstop has been covering the club on radio and television since 1957. Playing for the Yankees from 1941-56, with three years of military service in World War II, Phil was the American League's Most Valuable Player in 1950.
JERRY COLEMAN (WPIX, WCBS)
Jerry Coleman begins his fourth year as part of the Yankee broadcast team. The Associated Press Rookie of the Year in 1949, Jerry made the All-Star team in 1950 and won the Babe Ruth Award in that year's World Series. He was a Marine Corps fighter pilot in both World War II and the Korean War.
JOE GARAGIOLA (WPIX, WCBS)
Meet the man who outhit Ted Williams in the 1946 World Series. Although Joe didn't play in nearly as many World Series as his boyhood friend Yogi Berra, he did most of the catching for the Cardinals during that World Championship season.
Joe is in his second season as part of the Yankee broadcast team.
"The Yankees are indeed fortunate that their fans are given so many opportunities to follow the ballclub in the newspapers, on radio, and on television"

1968 New York Yankees Broadcasters
"Who writes what you read about the Yankees? Who preserves the action in pictures? Who brings you the play-by-play on radio and TV? The press corps. [These] are the pros behind the words, the pictures and the picture tube.
Traditionally the Yankees have been big news ... winning pennants and World Series, setting records ... and even in second division finishes. Now, in the exciting rebuilding stage, the Yankees remain big news ... in New York and all over the baseball world."
