    1977-Nov-25 • PHI/GSW • Philadelphia 76ers vs Golden State Warriors - NBA Radio Broadcast

    The Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers faced off on November 25, 1977, at The Spectrum in Philadelphia. At this point in the season, the Warriors (entering at 9-9) were aiming to stabilize their campaign under head coach Al Attles, driven by veteran stars Rick Barry and Phil Smith. Meanwhile, the 76ers (entering at 12-5), coached by Gene Shue, were led by the dynamic Julius Erving and George McGinnis, both of whom were vital in establishing the team as contenders in the Eastern Conference. The 76ers were riding high on momentum and were already seen as a major threat in the league, while the Warriors were looking for consistency amidst a competitive Western Conference landscape. The game was a high-scoring and tightly contested affair, with both teams showcasing their offensive firepower. Philadelphia jumped to an early lead, outscoring Golden State 32-26 in the first quarter, thanks to a strong performance from McGinnis, who would finish with 34 points and 20 rebounds. Julius Erving added 28 points, asserting his all-around dominance. Golden State, however, kept the game close with Phil Smith scoring a team-high 30 points and Rickey Green adding an efficient 22 points off the bench. The Warriors mounted a late comeback, forcing the game into overtime after a balanced scoring effort in the fourth quarter, but Philadelphia’s composure in the extra period sealed the win. With the victory, the 76ers improved to 13-5, solidifying their position as Eastern Conference frontrunners in a season that would see them finish second in the Atlantic Division and eventually reach the NBA Finals. The Warriors, dropping to 9-10, continued their uneven season but showed promise in players like Smith and Green. For Philadelphia, this game was another step toward establishing themselves as one of the league’s elite teams of the era. philadelphi76ers #goldenstatewarriors #juliuserving #georgemcginnis #rickbarry #philsmith #rickeygreen #nbahistory #1977season

    1949 • Baseball Clip • The Scout by Branch Rickey - Radio Drama

    The show The Scout is a Family Theater radio drama episode that aired on June 15, 1949. It features Eddie Bracken, Kathy O'Donnell, and Branch Rickey in pivotal roles. The story, introduced by Branch Rickey, revolves around baseball, a theme close to Rickey's heart due to his long association with the sport. He introduces the tale of Skip Welch, a character not famous in the big leagues or recorded in major league record books but regarded by Rickey as a true big-league player due to his integrity and character. The narrative unfolds in a small Midwestern town called Rawson, where Skip Welch, once an orphan and now a minor league baseball player, dedicates his time to coaching boys from the local orphanage. His story is one of ambition, moral dilemmas, and the harsh realities of professional sports. Despite his skill and passion, Skip faces challenges that test his values, particularly when he meets a mysterious scout promising him a future in the major leagues under stringent, morally ambiguous conditions. As Skip pursues his dream, he finds himself compromising the very principles he holds dear, leading to a climactic moment where he must choose between personal gain and the well-being of a young boy named Chuck from the orphanage. List of characters and their actors: Eddie Bracken as Skip Welch: A hopeful minor league baseball player and the protagonist of the story. Kathy O'Donnell as Mary Collins: Skip's love interest who helps him see the value in moral integrity over success at any cost. Branch Rickey as the Host/Narrator: Introduces the story and provides commentary on the moral of the story. A character known as the Scout: Represents the temptation of success at the expense of one's values. Chuck: A young boy from the orphanage who looks up to Skip and whose fate becomes intertwined with Skip's moral decisions. The story serves as a parable on the importance of playing hard but clean, emphasizing integrity over victory and the real meaning of success. It is an echo of Rickey's own beliefs about the role of sports in building character.
