Broadcasting
As one of the television commentators during a game played in Yankee Stadium, Howard Cosell, in a context clearly referring to the Yankees, used the term "our pitchers." He was later criticized for such a partial statement and denied having made it. Cosell grew up in Brooklyn, New York.
This was also the first World Series in which the teams' local flagship radio stations provided their own coverage of the Series in addition to CBS Radio's national coverage; coincidentally, both the Dodgers' then-flagship KABC and the Yankees' then-flagship WABC were co-owned with the ABC television network, which also aired this World Series. Also coincidentally, CBS Radio's play-by-play announcer for the Series, Vin Scully, was the Dodgers' primary local announcer during the regular season.
