Rickwood Field game broadcasts in black and white for top of the 5th inning
No, there was nothing wrong with your television if you were tuned in to the Rickwood Field game in the top of the 5th inning.
In another tribute to the past, the broadcast switched to black-and-white and gave the announcers’ voices a crackling effect to imitate the audio technology of 1954.
After the San Francisco Giants recorded the third out in the top of the 5th, the broadcast returned to its modern-day color presentation.
