On September 20, 1934, the Yankees played the Tigers at Navin Field; now known as Briggs Stadium in Detroit. It's announced by Ty Tyson who was a huge figure in early sports broadcasting. the audio is worthwhile for the ads alone, but real baseball fans will appreciate the Yankees in the era of Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth.
