Curt Smith discusses Mel Allen book
June 16, 2021 marks 25 years since the death of Mel Allen, the "Voice of the Yankees." In 2007, renowned baseball broadcaster biographer Curt Smith's book about Allen was published. Entitled "The Voice: Mel Allen's Untold Story," the book covers Allen's broadcast career, including the mystery surrounding his dismissal by the New York Yankees, following the 1964 season. On my afternoon radio program on WDRC radio in Hartford, CT in 2007, I interviewed Smith about the book and about Mel. Here is that interview.
