What was the first sport televised in the United States?

Well, since we're talking about the U.S., and since I can't find a site on this, I'm going to guess, "baseball." Though somehow that seems too obvious to be correct. I think a boxing match was the first sports broadcast on radio. Jun 05 05, 4:38 PM

May 17 - The first baseball game (Princeton - Columbia) is broadcast on television, from Baker Field in New York. Bill Stern is the announcer. Princeton won 2-1. June 1 - The first heavyweight boxing match is televised, Max Baer vs Lou Nova, from Yankee Stadium. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1939_in_television Jun 05 05, 6:37 PM
