[9] John Rooney and Jerry Coleman usually called these games while Jim Hunter hosted the pregame show entitled Inside Pitch.

In 2005 and 2007 respectively, CBS dropped the St. Louis Cardinals from KMOX and the Pittsburgh Pirates from KDKA, ending two long relationships between the teams and their flagship stations.

In 2015, the Chicago Cubs moved its radio broadcasts to CBS property WBBM (AM) from its longtime home of WGN (AM).

From 1994 until the end of its coverage in 1997, CBS Radio used Jeff Torborg[12] and Al Downing[13] (as well as Rick Cerone in 1997) as color analysts paired with the play-by-play announcers.

In 1996, Hunter called the American League Division Series between the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers with Gary Cohen.

Ernie Harwell was also on the call[54] for the 1995 American League Division Series between the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees alongside color commentator Al Downing.

Thus, Bill White got call do all three World Series involving the New York Yankees on CBS Radio from 1976–1978 and Ross Porter with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1977–1978.

From 1976–1978, Win Elliot was always in the booth either as a host or color man but never he did play-by-play for CBS Radio's World Series coverage.

WCMA simply carried the same CBS feed as did WCBS since separate radio broadcasts with the local announcers wouldn't begin until 1984.

In 1979, CBS Radio, following the lead begun by ABC's television coverage in 1977, dropped the usage of the local broadcasters on play-by-play.

They stopped using local announcers altogether when Vin Scully began doing the World Series as a CBS employee through 1982.

(Beginning in 1981, however, participating teams' flagship radio stations were permitted to produce their own local World Series broadcasts and air them live.

During the 1980 World Series, thousands of Philadelphia Phillies fans were outraged that they could not hear their local team announcers call the games.

That was mainly because Jack Buck had a lengthy career calling Cardinals games for KMOX to go along with his national work for CBS Radio.

In 1990, Buck would move over to CBS-TV to call the World Series and Scully returned to CBS Radio to take his place following NBC's loss of television rights.

Despite his long and illustrious career, Don Denkinger is probably best remembered for a blown call he made at first base in Game 6 of the 1985 World Series, played on October 26.

Denkinger was the umpire at first base and called Orta safe, even though television replays and photographs clearly showed that he was out by half a step.

That's the rule, isn't it?The following is a word-for-word transcript of Jack Buck and Sparky Anderson's commentary during the final moments of Game 6 of the 1986 World Series: J: Mookie Wilson is the batter...he has a hit...one out of three...a switch hitter, he'll bat left.

S: Boy if this don't remind you of that California Angels-Boston series, nothing will... J: And a full count on Mookie Wilson, he can win it with a hit.

The ball went right through the legs of Buckner and the Mets with two men out and nobody on have scored three times to bring about a seventh game, which will be played here tomorrow night.

J: This game is now history and it deserves its own page... For CBS Radio's coverage of the 1988 World Series, Jack Buck provided play-by-play while Bill White served as the analyst.

At 5:04 p.m. local time, the Loma Prieta earthquake hit (and subsequently caused a ten-day delay for the World Series).

Unlike ABC-Television (with Al Michaels, Jim Palmer and Tim McCarver calling the action on the TV side), CBS Radio was in a commercial break when the earthquake struck.

On October 27, 1991, Vin Scully, along with Johnny Bench and John Rooney, was on hand for a game considered by fans to be one of the most intense in the sport's history.

In the bottom of the tenth inning, Gene Larkin won the game for the Twins with a high fly-ball into left field (which allowed Dan Gladden to score) off Alejandro Peña.

Kirby Puckett with a single, a triple, a scoring flyball, and a game winning home run against Charlie Leibrandt.

The final score in 11 innings, Minnesota 4, Atlanta 3!During his CBS Radio broadcast in 1996, Vin Scully made another memorable call in the third inning of Game 1, when 19-year-old rookie outfielder Andruw Jones became the first National League player to hit two home runs in his first two at-bats in a World Series.

Édgar Rentería, a line drive base hit to centerfield and the Marlins...the fastest expansion team to win a championship.

And the Marlins came in here as a wild card to win it all!Before CBS Radio signed off from their baseball coverage for the final time on October 26, 1997, Vin Scully[87] and Jeff Torborg delivered this final message to listeners: Vin Scully: Tonight's game sponsored by CBS television, by Countrywide Home Loans, by Horrick, and by the U.S. Army.
