August 5, 1921, marks a pivotal moment not only in the history of Major League Baseball but also in the broader narrative of media and communications. On this day, radio station KDKA, with announcer Harold Arlin at the helm, broadcast the first-ever live baseball game, a match-up between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Philadelphia Phillies at Pittsburgh's Forbes Field. The Pirates triumphed over the Phillies 8-5, but the day's significance transcended the game's outcome. The real victor was the medium of radio, which demonstrated its transformative power to bring the thrill of the stadium into the living rooms of America.

Editor’s note: In cases of abuse, and particularly when children are involved, the Quill makes every effort to protect the identities of potential victims, including withholding specific details that could be used to identify them. Due to the nature of some alleged crimes, however, at times, minors may still be identifiable. The Quill endeavors to make this as difficult as possible for their privacy. If you suspect a child is being abused, call the Missouri Child Abuse & Neglect Hotline, 800-392-378. If you are experiencing domestic or sexual violence, or if you’re a survivor of the same needing support, call Christos House’s hotline, 800-611-5853.
