It worked so good they used it in their oil.....

We would have those little transistor radios under our desk in school with the ear plug cord inside our shirt sleeve, and our hand holding up our head by the elbow on the desk. The ear plug inside our hand listening to the radio, which was the October World Series that was on during the afternoons back then. And it was the Yankees, or course, so all you others wouldn't know. :lol:

We did that, but ''yankees''? never heard of em. Cardinals were the only REAL team in baseball...
 
Around the age of twelve I used to have the transistor radio under my pillow and fall asleep listening to the top hits of the time. It eased the “ having to go to bed “ feeling for me.

I grew up in SW Atlanta in the 60s/70s, so typically we watched (yes, watched) the World Series every year featuring
the Big Red Machine, the Orioles, Bob Gibson and the Cardinals - and yes, one magical year, the Braves too.
Our teachers in school would set up a TV on the RV cart in class for us to watch the day games in the Series, too - didn't
have to hide any radios and such.
They knew how damn serious baseball was to all of us (we ALL played in organized baseball) and let us watch it "live".

Truth is, several years in elementary school, we did the same thing ; set up a big - I mean it musta been 24" - TV in the gym and watched the World Series. I had almost forgotten. Seemed we 'let school out' and did the same for space launches. Sneaking the radio may have been more for listening to KAKC...;)
Baseball was indeed very big in the Tulsa area where I grew up; Tulsa was the Cardinal's Triple A club at the time so we saw all the up and comers, regular big leaguers on rehab etc plus preseason contests with the big club. Almost all of my friends played baseball also - only 'stick and ball' sport that I ever had any interest in.
Show you how serious it was around here, my minister Jim [RIP my friend] once stated from the pulpit that one was 'either a Cardinals fan or a communist'... and he wasnt trying to be funny...
 
OK...now doggone you guys... I didnt know there were other kinds of those radios other than the Sinclair one. But since Mr Davefinan showed a Standard/Amoco one, and my dad worked for Amoco his entire post grad career [and they even paid for his grad school...] I gotta have one. So I went looking. Found one. And bought one. And its different than the one pictured above, so Im gonna hafta get one like that too. and other variations if extant.
My wife really appreciates that guys...
