Trivia: In the first televised MLB game, the Cincinnati Reds played what team?
Chicago Cubs
Brooklyn Dodgers
Pittsburgh Pirates
Philadelphia Phillies
The correct answer is Brooklyn Dodgers
So why is this answer correct? : The first televised baseball game was organized more to showcase the new technology than to cater to baseball fans. Television was being featured at the 1939 World’s Fair, and the fair organizers thought a baseball game would be the perfect way to show it off. On August 26, 1939, viewers witnessed the first-ever baseball broadcast: a doubleheader between the Brooklyn Dodgers and Cincinnati Reds.
