With so many ways to watch World Series Baseball now, it’s easy to forget there was a time when you were either at the game or could only listen to it on the radio. In 1937, radio time had been booked by the Canadian Chartered banks for an informative talk, but they gave up the time for the broadcast of the opening game of the 1937 World Series between the New York Yankees and the New York Giants. That move likely gave them more good publicity than their talks.
