1921 – The World Series is broadcast on radio for the first time.
The 18th World Series, a match between the National League champion New York Giants and the American League champion New York Yankees.
This was the first World Series to be broadcast on radio, with Grantland Rice covering the games live through Pittsburgh’s KDKA. It was rebroadcast on WBZ in Massachusetts. Announcer Tommy Cowan also recreated the games over Westinghouse-owned WJZ in Newark as he listened to phoned-in reports from the stadium.
