Episode Synopsis

The 1965 season saw the opening of the Houston Astrodome, and the first Major League Baseball games to be played indoors. For Opening Day, the Yankees were invited to the Astros for an exhibition game to open the Dome.
With recordings available for both team broadcasts we can contrast two different legends behind the microphone. In this episode, our second visit to this game, we can hear the Astros Radio broadcast of the exhibition, with Harry Kalas, Loel Passe, and Gene Elston.
This game was played on April 9th, 1965.
