I was just reading the obituary of an old-timer radio broadcaster from my hometown, and found this part interesting:

For several years in the mid-1960s, he worked as the radio broadcaster for the Eugene Emeralds minor league baseball team. During these years, he became well known for his skill in “recreating” the Emeralds' road games in the studio, a common practice at that time in the minor leagues, where teams could not afford to send a play-by-play man on road trips. For every road game, he would receive only a line-by-line box score giving just the basic facts of each inning; he literally made up the rest. Complete with bat-on-ball, crowd noise, and other sound effects, his recreations were so convincing that many listeners did not realize he was not actually at the ballpark.

super cool as a die hard baseball fan i loved this article thanks for sharing
