1930 Gridiron Champions - The Starters

Green Bay Packers at Portsmouth Spartans 

"The Starters" is a video series which gives people a chance to "virtually" hear the starters of critical championship football games early on in the 20th century. This video gives the listener the unique opportunity to step back in time to hear what names such as Red Grange or George Halas might have sounded in the stadium back in the day while providing unemployed Public Address Announcers the opportunity to announce classic football teams during the Coronavirus Crisis. 

Since the first "Automatic Enunciators" were not installed until 1913 (Ebbets and Comiskey), most games featured megaphone men. Actual "Public Address Systems" did not come up about until 1919 during the Republican National Convention. These systems mostly piped music into the stadium. General use of P.A. Systems played little role in sports until the thirties. The modern recordings in these videos take the "just imagine" approach to allow us the listening pleasure of monikers like Pollard and Chamberlin by a professional announcer for the very first time.
