How much TV coverage could there have been in 1953?  I remember seeing an
interview with Don Gillis years ago and he said in the early days they
had to fight with mgmt because they wanted to film the entire ballgame to
playback highlights on the 11 o'clock news.  Mgmt objected to filming the
entire game since all they played back were homeruns, rbi's etc so why
not just film them.... ;-0
