Who is Bing Crosby?
The entertainer was born Harry Lillis Crosby on May 3, 1903, in Tacoma, Washington. The nickname "Bing" found him when he was just 7 years old, after he had moved with his family to Spokane. The Spokane Spokesman-Review ran a comic feature called The Bingville Bugle, which was a parody of hillbilly newspapers. The young Crosby thought the feature was a laugh riot, and would giggle uncontrollably when reading it. A neighbor noticed his behavior and started calling Crosby "Bingo from Bingville." The "o" eventually went away, but the nickname stuck.

Who is Bing Crosby?
Crosby was a part-owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, but was too nervous to watch game 7 of the 1960 World Series—a game that has gone down in history as one of the best ever played. The singer was so worried about jinxing the team that he left the country, traveling to Paris, content to listen to the game on the radio. Fortunately, he had the foresight to have the game recorded by kinescope as it played on TV. If he hadn't, we might not have a copy of the game at all.
In that era, tapes were often reused or destroyed. There was no known copy of the game’s broadcast until a Bing Crosby Enterprises employee found the five-reel film in Crosby’s wine cellar in December 2009.
