Jersey Joe Walcott Wallops Baseball
Manage episode 381399399 series 3334627
The impact of television on baseball attendance was never more thoroughly demonstrated than the night of the Joe Walcott-Ezzard Charles championship boxing match, June 5, 1950, when clubs generally reported low gates as fans remained home to view the title bout.
Television was a new dynamic in homes across the nation, and baseball games began its slow decline in the Minor Leagues.
In this episode I tell about waning attendance numbers resulting from a boxing match.
