I remember seeing that man play ball on the Emerson television at my house with the small screen. That TV weighed more than a light heavyweight I think and took a few minutes to warm up while it crackled and groaned. When the tubes got all warmed up you were simply amazed that somebody could send you pictures and sound from Manhattan to Brooklyn over the air.
There was an antenna on the roof of that 3-floor walkup at 844 Flatbush Avenue that some people shared with their televisions. If you bothered the antenna you were going off the roof.
