mark scott -lrb- february 21 , 1915 in illinois -- july 13 , 1960 in burbank , california -rrb- was an actor and broadcaster .
he is probably best known for hosting the `` home run derby '' television show that originally aired in 1960 .
scott died of a heart attack shortly after the first season of the show aired ; rather than find a replacement for him , the producers decided to cancel the series .
during the `` home run derby '' show , he both announced the action and interviewed each contestant when his opponent was batting .
his most well known line from the show was , `` it 's a home run or nothing here on home run derby . ''
prior to `` home run derby '' , he had been an announcer for the hollywood stars of the pacific coast league , which transferred out of the city after the 1957 season , due to the arrival of the los angeles dodgers .
