On September 30, 1947, the New York Yankees beat the
Brooklyn Dodgers, 5-3, in Game 1 of the World Series—
the first Fall Classic game broadcast on television.

It is the second "Subway Series" between and Yankees
and Dodgers and first World Series to involve an African
American player. Jackie Robinson (below) of the Dodgers
broke Major League Baseball’s color barrier six months
earlier.

While Red Barber and Mel Allen called the game on the
radio, Bob Stanton described the action on NBC.

Known as Buddy Holly, born to a musical family in Lubbock, Texas
was a singer, songwriter and musician who was a central and
pioneering figure of mid-1950s rock and roll.        
    
   

The spelling change from Holley to Holly came about because of
an error in a contract he was asked to sign, listing him as Buddy
Holly, according to the website for "The Buddy Holly Story."

As the fourth and youngest child in his family, Holly was nicknamed "Buddy" by his mother, who felt that his given name was too big
for her young boy, according to Biography.com.

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.

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.

Barber (in suit) called the first game on NBC Radio and
moved over to TV for the second game.

Sam Elliott spent his teenaged years living in northeast Portland,
and graduated from David Douglas High School in 1962.  

After graduating from high school, Elliott attended college
at the University of Oregon as an English and psychology
major for two terms before dropping out. He returned to
Portland and attended Clark College in nearby Vancouver,
Washington.
