Across the bottom of the Huge
Yankee Scoreboard in right center field
read "It's A Hit - Ballantine - Ale
Beer" The signs and Beer Jingles back
in the day were supplemented with
slogans as well. "Baseball and
Ballantine" became a signature phrase
for Yankee announcer Mel Allen, and
when a Yankees hit a home run which
happened a lot in the 1950s, Allen
would announce it "A Ballantine
Blast!... Baseball and Ballantine,
Baseball and Ballantine, What a
Combination, All Across the Nation,
Baseball aaaand Ballantine!"
The 12 inch can opener features a Baseball and... Ballantine Beer
advertisement on the barrel end, and
adjacent to it is a hole to hang it. P.
Ballantine & Sons of New Jersey, became
a radio and TV sponsor of New York
Yankee games since 1946 on WINS Radio.
WPIX Chanel 11, began television
broadcast in 1950, with Mel Allen, Bill
Crowley, and Art Gleeson doing
play-by-play and Dizzy Dean doing
commentary (1950-1951). Joe DiMaggio
did Commentary in 1952.
