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.

Saw the game but via the Cincinnati Reds broadcast outta self respect.

Joe Davis talking about Vin Scully is some “keep my name outta your mouth” kinda shit. Vin Scully was a gift.

I was a kid in Phoenix listening to Dodgers games on a transistor radio late at night in bed. I may never have actually seen a Dodger game on tv. Players were just names to me. Obviously Scully was that compelling to even a kid. Like listening to music

Joe Davis has zero talent comparatively
