Latest / Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar — Bob Bailey 30-Minute Era (1956–1960)
The Melancholy Memory Matter
Aired: Apr 28th, 1957. Star pitcher Harry "Fastball" Hailey vanishes right in the middle of spring training, and his $100,000 double-indemnity policy has Johnny Dollar hopping a flight to Tucson. But when Hailey's sister sends a telegram insisting her brother has been murdered—and a mysterious new wife turns up nowhere in the press—the freelance insurance investigator finds a simple missing-persons case curving into something far darker. Bob Bailey brings his trademark wit to this taut tale of baseball, betrayal, and a claim nobody wants to pay.
