The Playograph of 1911
In October 1911, a crowd said to number 70,000 filled Herald Square in New York to follow the World's Series on a Playograph, a large board fed by telegraph from the Polo Grounds.
The board was built by the Baseball Playograph Company of Stamford, Conn. It showed a diamond, the lineups and the score, and as each play came over the wire, an operator moved a ball across the field by hand so the crowd could see every pitch, hit and out. The Evening Telegram reckoned the crowd in the square for the first game was nearly twice the size of the one inside the ballpark.
Radio retired the Playograph long ago, but we have kept its purpose: bringing the game to the fan who could not be at the park. Each morning we report the previous day's games in the manner of the sporting pages of that time, because we think that way of writing about baseball is worth keeping.
