Real Life Sports in 1950
Monday, April 2, 1950 YANKS AND DODGERS PRESEASON PICKS IN MLB It's April all across the USA and all eyes turn toward the Boys of Summer... Major League Baseball is set to open the season... the New York Yankees are the defending World Series champions... they whipped the Brooklyn Dodgers in five games last year... but it was a much closer series than it looked... it could easily have gone the other way... all the games were close and in doubt... except for game five... both clubs figure to be just as strong as last year... the Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians will battle the Yanks again in the American League... New York just barely beat the Bosox by one game, while the St. Louis Cardinals will be in the pennant hunt again in the National League... the Dodgers nipped them by one scant game last year... the up-and-coming Philadelphia Phillies could be in the mix this year as well. 1949 Major League Baseball Standings and World Series Results Last edited by Eugene Church; 04-04-2019 at 10:29 PM. |

REAL LIFE IN 1950
Movies were a huge part of American life in 1950... it was one of our primary sources of entertainment along with radio... TV was in its infancy and not yet available to most of the people at this time... but it would soon become our main source of entertainment in just 2-3 years... it was a sleeping giant. The Academy Awards show was held at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood on March 23... hosted by actor Paul Douglas. Here are all of the major award winners: Click Images to Enlarge Last edited by Eugene Church; 04-10-2019 at 09:42 PM. |
