On this day in 1939, the first televised Major League baseball game is broadcast on station W2XBS, the station that was to become WNBC-TV. Announcer Red Barber called the game between the Cincinnati Reds and Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, New York. According to Calvin, this was, of course, before the world was in color. We've come a long way!
