In reply to: OldRam. 's message, "No one has ever referred to our '39 team as the Seven Blocks and the team we played was Waynesburg at Triboro Stadium beneath the bridge of the same name. I believe that the first televised football game ever was between these two teams but that it was earlier than 1939 which was the year of the New York World's Fair--the Trilon and Hemisphere world's fair in Flushing Park." on 08:53:12 01/13/05 Thu
