A Tradition Started

On October 5th, 1921, Major League Baseball's World Series was broadcasted on the radio for the first time ever. This was a great thing because baseball is America's pastime and the sport that everybody loved to keep up with. The best part about the MLB was the World Series, people would want to keep up with it all the time. This let people listen to every play of the World Series. It was a technological advancement and a great new way to listen to the World Series at the ease of one's radio. This event had a big impact or influence on the nation for the most part. It is America's pastime after all and this made it more accessible to the masses. I definitely appreciate this event b/c I love the sport of baseball and being able to listen to it on the radio is a great thing. We can now watch it on TV too, but of course that wasn't around then. It was a move for technology and sports accessibility for America and the citizens' beloved sport.
