Library of Congress Acquires 6,000 Sports Broadcasts: When he was 17, John Miley asked his parents to buy him a wire recorder so he could capture broadcasts of sporting events. Sixty-three years later, his collection of more than 6,000 radio and television recordings of sporting events from 1920 to 1972 is being acquired by the Library of Congress. They will eventually all be digitized and shared online.
That's a great story--thanks for sharing it.
