The Best of Waite Hoyt in the Rain


The Best of Waite Hoyt in the Rain Volume 1
Personality Records - 1963

The first athlete-turned-broadcaster, Waite Hoyt enjoyed a 20 year Hall of Fame career as a pitcher (Yankees, Dodgers, Giants, Athletics, Red Sox, Tigers), and then became the play by play voice for the Cincinnati Reds. In his 24 years calling games for the Reds, Hoyt was well known for his anecdotes (mostly recalling his playing days with the Yankees) during rain delays. Two volumes of selected anecdotes were collected on record albums. Bust this out the next time you are stuck in a rain delay.
