France Laux
CBS bought KMOX soon after Laux was hired, and the partnership enabled Laux to call the World Series on a national scale from 1933-38. All told, Laux’s voice accompanied nine Fall Classics and nine All-Star Games with CBS and Mutual.
“You can imagine the thrill when I said, ‘Hubbell has struck out Babe Ruth,” Laux said of his 1934 All-Star Game broadcast. “Also, he puts a third strike on Gehrig and down the line.”
