Trivia Question -

On this day in history... The World Series was broadcast on radio for the first time. What year was it?

Trivia Answer -

1921.

WJZ in Newark, New Jersey, was the first to broadcast the 1921 World Series. Tommy Cowan recreated the games between the New York Yankees and New York Giants from reports that were phoned in from the stadiums.

Also interesting, for the first time in Series history, all the games were played in the same park as the Yankees and Giants shared the Polo Grounds.

The Giants beat the Yankees 5 games to 3 to win the 1921 World Series.
