PAST EVENTS THAT WOULD MAKE HISTORY
‘’THE BAMBINO’’ SET WORLD SERIES RECORD
On October 6, 1926, Yankee slugger Babe Ruth hit a record

game of the World Series.
The Yanks won the game 10-5, despite Ruth’s unprecedented performance, they lost the championship in the seventh game.

GAME VIEWED FOR FIRST TIME ON TV

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.
