    Not according to the list I'm looking at. Larry Bird won it that year.

    Gold may be correct about answer 3. But if he's wrong, then I'll say the Fordham vs. Waynesburg game at Randalls Island in 1939 (credit to Maraniss' Lombardi book).

    If you're referring to NFL games, then it was Brooklyn Dodgers vs. Philadelphia Eagles. 1939.

    OK, some confusion on the TV game. The Columbia game was the first on TV. The game I'm thinking of was the first on commercial TV, and that indeed was Brooklyn-Philadelphia in 1939.

    The correct answer was Ebbets Field, which nobody answered.



    BYH, be on-line at about 2 p.m. EST on next Thursday, because that's when the questions usually go up.
