1958 MLB Season

As originally written by Tim Brulia:

Moving on to the 1958 season and the westward movement of the Dodgers and Giants.

Starting in June, CBS adds a Sunday Game of the Week telecast.

In the Southeastern portion of the US, due to sponsor conflict, NBC used a separate crew to announce 4 1/2 innings on their telecasts. These crews are listed after the "A" with the designation "SE".
