Default 1972 White Sox Radio Broadcast Booth Scorecards

Harry Caray began broadcasting Chicago White Sox games in 1971. Working with him in the booth during 1971 and 1972 was Ralph Faucher, veteran Chicago area sports announcer and sports director for WTAQ, LaGrange.

According to Ralph, he and Harry kept a scorecard during every game. They used the scorecard information throughout the game; also, Faucher did the post game show using the scorecard info.

Below is an example of the historical scorecards from that 1972 season. The near complete set of detailed scorecards from that year also includes a few spring training games. In 1972, Richie Allen was AL MVP and Wilbur Wood topped the AL with 24 wins, 376 IP during a successful White Sox season.

Images below display front and back of one of the 1972 detailed scorecards (11 x 12 inches), 5/30/72 Angels vs White Sox.
