  Bill Stern was one of radio's most prolific sportscasters and master storystellers - and had been the voice of both NBC Radio and ABC Radio throughout much of the 1940s and 1950s.
  His Colgate Shave Cream Sports Reel was broadcast on NBC during the late 1930s and early to mid-1940s, and on ABC Radio
  throughout much of the 1950s, with profiles and stories focusing on the most influential professional athletes of the 20th century, among them...
  
  Harmon Killabrew
  
  Mickey Mantle
  
  Roger Maris
  
  Joe Louis
  
  Jackie Robinson
  
  ...and many others.
  
  From baseball, basketball, football and hockey to bowling, horse racing and the
  Olympics, Bill Stern was the go-to man who tells amazing stories covering the entire spectrum of sports. With Colgate-
  Palmolive as its sponsor, The Bill Stern
  Colgate Shave Cream Sports Reel tell the
  true stories of athlete triumph like no
  other leading man of sportscasting on the radio.
  
  Remember baseball legend Mickey Mantle hitting the ball with a bat as he hit one of the most anticipated RBIs ever to date during the 1950s?
  
  Did Roger Maris make a swing at the bat
  when he slammed a ball hard?
  
  How many RBIs did Jackie Robinson win during the 1940s as one of baseball's Most Valuable Players?
  
  If you answer any of these questions above, then you may relive the thrill and excitement of spectator sporting history - primarily in the 20th century.
  The Bill Stern Colgate Shave Cream Sports Reels combined the storytelling mastery of Stern with special guests revealing the athletes and their careers
  - and how they began their journey to winning the MVP victory, championship tournament after championship tournament
  at a moment's notice. Stern was a kind,
  hard-hitting storytelling sportscast and
  the embodiment of all other male human
  sports servants who left their mark in the broadcast radio industry during much
  of this era.
  
  Bill Stern covered the following sports:
  
  Baseball
  
  Football
  
  Bowling
  
  Stock Car Racing
  
  Basketball
  
  Horse Racing
  
  Boxing
  
  ...and more.
  
  If you liked The Bill Stern Colgate Shave Cream Sports Reel, you may want to

  to score points.
