...local NBC television affiliate pre-empted the National League baseball playoffs to carry the action live, so great was the area's interest. To boot, the station paid $4,500 to each school for the broadcasting rights. It was believed to be the first live telecast of a regular-season high school football game in Texas, and where it lacked polish (an assistant coach: "One thing we'd like to do is get that sucker in the end zone"), it made up in enthusiasm (the play-by-play announcer: "That'll make it third and a country mile!").

It also will be the first at-bat for a team trying to score with a demographic that has largely turned away from baseball. Just 8.7% of baseball fans nationwide last year, as measured by Simmons Market Research Bureau, were black--which mirrors the sport's racial makeup: 9% of last season's major leaguers were black, the fewest in 20 years, according to a University of Central Florida study...
