In 2009 the radio show A Page from Baseball’s Past celebrated its 25th season as pre-game show in major league baseball. The show is the creation of long-time friends Eric Nadel and Craig Wright. Eric is the producer and voice of the program, and Craig researches and writes the shows. It consists of a short entertaining story from baseball’s history which is sandwiched around a radio ad. Obviously the concept has worked well with the listening audience, which is why it has been popular with advertisers as well. It was used for decades as a pre-game show before Texas Rangers baseball games, a relationship that only recently ended with the shift to a new flagship station. At various times the scripts or tapes have been used in other markets, some small and some large, including being heard at one time in Baltimore, Detroit, and San Francisco. If your station would be interested in purchasing the show, please Contact Us for further information.

Nadel and Wright also did a book together called The Man Who Stole First Base (Taylor Publishing) which was a collection of stories that had been featured on the radio show. They also collaborated on a CD of select shows with 100% of the proceeds being donated to charity. Beyond credit as co-creator, Nadel is not involved in the email version of A Page from Baseball’s Past.

Eric Nadel has been broadcasting the games of the Texas Rangers for more than 30 years. His long-time service was honored at Sluggers of the West Awards where he was presented with a crystal microphone by legendary broadcaster Merle Harmon who called Eric “… one of the premier broadcasters in baseball, a sure-fire Hall of Famer.” Eric is a four-time recipient of the Texas Sportscaster of the Year Award (1999, 2001, 2002, and 2006), and in 1991 was inducted into the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame. Eric and his wife, Jeannie, reside in Dallas with their dog, Nemo.

Craig Wright worked 21 years in major league baseball, primarily in the area of player evaluation. He also was a consultant for a dozen years with STATS Inc, designing their products for major league teams. He is the primary author of The Diamond Appraised (Simon & Shuster) which was also translated into Japanese and sold in Japan. Craig lives in his beloved Montana with his wife, Cathy, and their son, Joshua. Their daughter Laina is a graduate of Macalester College, recently returned from a year in India, and is now working in Boulder, CO. Rounding out the family are Emma the dog and the four cats: Scout, Charlie, Tom, and Piper.
