Sunday was the 73rd anniversary of baseball's first telecast, and Vin Scully took us back

The Brooklyn Dodgers were taking on the Cincinnati Reds at Ebbets Field, Red Barber was in the booth, and only two cameras were used (a blimp-cam was unfortunately not one of them) to broadcast baseball's first televised game on August 26, 1939.

Vin Scully took time out from the Dodgers-Marlins game on Sunday to commemorate this significant date in Major League Baseball history.
