Raw Movietone footage shot on April 14, 1931 at Yankee Stadium as the Yankees meet the Red Sox on Opening Day. 70,000 people were in the stands to see the Yanks pull off a 6 to 3 win.
Note the blank uniforms -- the Yankees didn't wear the "NY" crest on their home jerseys until 1936.
This game was broadcast over the NBC radio networks, with Graham McNamee announcing, but the voiceover you hear calling bits of game action is not him -- it's the Movietone sound man throwing in a bit of ad-lib commentary.
