On this day in 1939, the first televised Major League baseball game was broadcast on station W2XBS, the station that was to become WNBC-TV.
Announcer Red Barber called the game between the Cincinnati Reds and the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, N.Y. Today is also National Dog Day, so give your furry friend some extra attention. If your friend sent you this, sign up for yourself here.

What to do about the Tisbury
School? The Tisbury select board recently made it clear at a meeting that it had no appetite to hold a special town election for $26 million in extra funds to pay for the Tisbury School renovation and addition project. Select board members voiced concerns over further delaying the project, which is already racking up significant costs related to the use
of temporary classrooms that cost $85,000 per month. Read reporter Rich Saltzberg’s piece on the recent development in the process.

Energy and Environmental Affairs on how to proceed. Read reporter Eunki Seonwoo’s story on this hot topic.

Sometimes we plant too many tomatoes in the MVT garden, and when we do it’s best to preserve them so we taste some sunshine a few months from now. Edible Vineyard, or EV as we call it around here, offers a great recipe for Tomato Puree, courtesy Ned Casey and Tina Parisi.
