Bryant Gumbel wasn't the first black sportscaster to cover the World Series Trophy presentating. Bill White did it for ABC in 1977 (three years prior to Gumbel doing it). Bill White, I believe was also the first black person to do play-by-play for a major professional sports championship in North America, when he called the 1976-1977 World Series for CBS Radio.User:TMC1982
