Interesting fact on the Dodgers broadcast today.

76 years ago, August 26, 1949, the Dodgers were at home playing the Reds, just like they are today.

Ownership decided to try a new technological gimmick. They broadcasted the game on a new fad called "television". There were only 500 televisions in the NYC area at the time, so hardly anyone watched.

That was the first televised MLB game ever.

Vin Scully did not broadcast that game. He would start working for the Dodgers 8 months later, in April 1950.
