Best Answer

The first televised sporting event was a College Baseball game between Columbia and Princeton in 1939, covered by one camera providing a point of view along the third base line. There really was so very little TV in 1931 that it was useless to have TV. By 1936 there were fewer than 200 Televisions worldwide. The first-ever sporting event televised was an elementary Baseball game in Japan in 1931
