In 2008 the radio show A Page from Baseball’s Past celebrated its 25th season on the air. 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 is used primarily as a pre-game show before Texas Rangers baseball games, beginning with WBAP and successfully migrating to KRLD when they became the Rangers 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 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. In “retirement” he writes a baseball column by the same name. (see advertisement at the right) Craig lives in his beloved Montana with his wife, Cathy, and their son, Joshua. Their daughter Laina is a student at Macalester College. Rounding out the family are Emma the dog and their four cats: Scout, Charlie, Tom, and Piper.

“Craig Wright is a brilliant analyst of the game. You know how that goes – ‘intelligent’ means that he agrees with me; ‘brilliant’ means that I agree with him but I never would have thought of it myself.”
