1934 game on YouTube

Detroit misses a chance to get closer to the pennant. Lou Gehrig, George Selkirk, a complete game by the Yankees’ pitcher.

Ty Tyson does the broadcast by himself. You can hear the other reporters and the ticker tape. He is also the public address announcer. He mentions Babe Ruth is hurt but clubbed a few in batting practice

I scored the game sitting out on the driveway. It is a wild game. 18 runs, two two-error plays, an ejection, Mickey Cochran managing sends himself up to bat in the ninth. Ty complains how slow the game is, but the total time is 2:30.

Apparently this is the oldest full game broadcast still in existence.

Worth a listen.
