Will Atkins-On This Date

On October 5th, 1921, the first radio broadcast of the World Series happened. It was between the New York Yankees and the New York Giants (yes, the New York Giants, how many of you knew that was a baseball team?). While it may not have been that evident to the people at Yankee Stadium, the broadcast would grow up to become one of the greatest spectacles in sports. This broadcast has grown into TV broadcasts. TV broadcasts have grown into the viewing of the Super Bowl, and the viewing of the Super Bowl has grown into the 111.3 million people who watched the game last year. That brief broadcast has led into the national past time of America. Watching TV. Heck it's not just America's past time it's mine as well. This is why I greatly appreciate it. This due to the fact that I watch, "broadcasts," whenever I'm at home. Eating dinner? I'll turn on the game. Doing homework? Let me check the score real quick. If I'm doing anything that isn't sleeping, I'm watching TV.

Now to celebrate this glorious day, I'm going to go watch the Georgia vs. Tennessee game. Go Dawgs
