The New York Giants had 17 wins and 19 losses when Willie Mays made his Major League Baseball debut on May 25, 1951. By the end of September, he was a fixture in the Giants’ lineup and helped put his team in a pennant race for the ages with the Brooklyn Dodgers. It was a high point in the history of Major League Baseball.
In 1951, the Lux Radio Theater celebrated its 17th anniversary and Meredith Willson turned 49 years old. NBC’s The Big Show of September 30, 1951, was beginning its second season on the air with a broadcast from London, England.
Radio was already beginning to lose its battle with television but competed for the hearts and minds of the audience with new programming ideas.
