THE FIRST TIME ON TELEVISION IN 1939

Today in Reds history, 1939: The Reds participate in the first major league game to be televised ...

On August 26, 1939, the first televised Major League baseball
game
was broadcast on station W2XBS, the station that was
to become WNBC-TV. Announcer Red Barber called the game
between the Cincinnati Reds and the Brooklyn Dodgers at
Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, New York.

The Reds won the first, 5–2 while the Dodgers won the second,
6–1.

This all started in April of 1939 with the opening of The World’s
Fair, when David Sarnoff told the nation that RCA had “added
radio sight to sound”, and officially kicked off the age of
television.

FAMOUS SEX THERAPIST IS DEAD AT 96

AMERICA'S PIONEERING SEX THERAPIST DR. RUTH WESTHEIMER DIES AT 96

Dr. Ruth Westheimer, sex therapist and talk show host, dies at 96 - Patabook News

(FOX NEWS) – Dr. Ruth Westheimer, the famous sex therapist
and media personality, has passed away at the age of 96.

Westheimer died on Friday surrounded by her family in New
York City, according to her publicist.

Known for her frank discussions of sexual topics and amusing
candor, Westheimer has appeared on numerous late-night talk
shows and authored multiple best-selling books.

Westheimer was born in Germany to a Jewish family. As the
Nazis came to power, her parents sent the ten-year-old girl to
a school in Switzerland for safety, remaining behind themselves
because of her elderly grandmother.

They were both subsequently sent to concentration camps by
the
Gestapo, where they were killed.
