Going, Going, Gone!
Communication Arts Grades 4 - 8
The electrifying crack of the bat, the pop of the ball, the roar of the crowd - it's going, going, gone!  Experience the drama of recreating a moment in baseball history through the simulation of an old-time radio broadcast.  Students of all ages are there for an unforgettable moment in baseball history by reliving the roles of announcers, commentators, spectators and sound effect producers just as broadcasters did in an earlier era when the National pastime was, as Phil Hirsch of the Chicago Tribune said, "the only game you could see on radio."
