I was 6 years old and my family moved from Honduras to Miami. A whole new world for me - I spoke English but everything was different. I remember coming home from my first day at school and my two sisters, who were home recovering from measles, were sitting on the floor in front of a new contraption - a green and black Sylvania black and white TV set on a rolling cart with clear plastic wheels that made a racket rolling on the terrazzo floor. I think they were watching Howdy Doody, the popular after school show of the time. It was followed by Popeye with a live audience of kids hosted by Skipper Chuck. There were also two big plastic rings that I learned were called "hula hoops" in one corner of the living room. My dad had gone shopping for some goodies. Even the commercials for the toys were fun, and the sneakers competition between US Keds and PF Flyers was intense! Wonderful time to be a kid - our innocence was valued and protected by the adult world. The nightly news was all of 15 minutes from respected and serious figures like Chet Huntley and David Brinkley on NBC. It was a wonderful time to be a kid.
1958, a year of many beginnings.
So will 2021 🦋😜
March 5th was when I first saw light of day in 1958
Me being one of them! 👶😂
They day they started to lie to us about a round earth to hind the truth of the bible .... Genesis 1-6-9
Mine too. April '58.
Lol...I was 8 so I guess I was hula hooping so much as to not notice a recession 😒 my poor dad ...he worked 2 sometimes 3 jobs...RIP daddy. I love you ♥️
What a great time to be an American citizen!
LOVED 1958!!!
GOD IS ASTOUNDING!
I went to the same high school as Ted Williams... He graduated in 1937 and I in 1988. Met him a few times but never knew who he was till later. Really nice man. He would sneak back into town every now and again for coffee with an old high school friend that had a business by my home.
Yippee for 1958!!
feb 15 1958 i sailed with my family into kodiak alaska,i left long beach,ca and rock n roll for this, i thought,my 12 th birthday was on that day 1958,i would always remember,oh and it took a few years but i grew to love Kodiak haha.
Albert King with the first Flying V Gibson sold. He bought it at the factory.
The Winning score in the 1958 NFL Championship Game was scored by Alan Ameche.
He was cousin to Don Ameche.

This video was smarter than the average video. Thanks Yogi.
Thanks this video has special meaning, Our Dad worked at Naval Research Laboratory in Washington DC starting in 1951 and in 1953 worked on the Vanguard Project which on 1957 merged with the National Aeronautic Association and he was a Pioneer of NASA. He helped with the startup of the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt Maryland, he retired in 1993 after 42 years since 1951. We grew up with many other NASA families and us kids are still close friends with their kids
My wife and I live about a mile and a half from Goddard space flight center . I’ve lived in Greenbelt since 69 .
@@cheaplaughkennedy2318 Small world - my first job in my career was working for Ford Aerospace from 1985 to 1987 in Hollywood Maryland when I was going to University of Maryland in College Park. We were working on the Hubble Space Telescope software and hardware in Buildings 3 and 14 at Goddard Space Flight Center
One of our favorite places for lunch was 3 Brothers Italian Restaurant in Beltway Plaza
I remember growing up going to the Alamo awesome restaurant in Riverdale MD they often had live music
@@glutenfreejoe6099 unbelievable, my wife and I still go to the Three Brothers in Beltway Plaza and I grew up in Riverdale back in the early sixties, my folks would go shopping in the open mall where that Mexican restaurant is . We had to move from Riverdale because the state called imminent domain on my folks house, that’s when East West Highway was built around 1965 . Really good talking with you. I read your comment and I was really surprised and I told my wife . I had an Uncle that worked at NASA about that time , his name was Donald Murray , maybe you know him . See ya and good luck my friend. 👍👌
Thank you for the history lesson.
I was 5yo for most of 1958. I vaguely remember going to "Rhythm Band" which was a sort of pre-school. I was good at playing the triangle and the guiro (wood stick with notches). I had a crush on a girl named Gail...we actually made music together. Beautiful music? naw....
Thanks for that little story.. 😀
Thanks for sharing your story! Wow a guíro player!! 👍🏼
This video is not about you.
I was also 5 years old in 1958...and could play the triangle better than anyone...or so I believed.
Thanks For Sharing!
Thank you for these great videos.
That was an epic football game.
@Carl Ferrigno please elaborate..what do you mean anti- American?
@@dwightpowell6673 he means that people asking in a peaceful manner for equal justice are anti American. Mr. Ferrigno obviously either is ignorant or communist or just hates blacks?
Colts 23 Giants 17. Some guy named Unitas played in that game
@@jamessandman3708 oh come on….that’s crap. Ball players have no business bringing that crap to a ballgame! They’re getting paid VERY WELL to play a game! Play the damn game, and go rag about that other crap on own time! That’s how ridiculous things have ‘progressed’??!
@@Melinda8162 "They’re getting pain VERY WELL to play a game!" If that is your argument then I will just move on.

Major Professional Sports Championships during 1958:
- MLB World Series: New York Yankees defeated Milwaukee Braves 4-3 (October 1-9)
- NBA Championship Series: St. Louis Hawks defeated Boston Celtics 4-2 (March 29-April 12)
- NFL Championship Game: Baltimore Colts defeated New York Giants 23-17 OT (Dec. 28)
- NHL Stanley Cup Finals: Montreal Canadiens defeated Boston Bruins 4-2 (April 8-20)
And the college football national championship? A split title for '58. #1 LSU won the Sugar Bowl, but Iowa won the 1959 Rose Bowl so dominantly thanks to Bob Jeter and his pals that we were able to snatch a share of it. I wasn't alive yet, but one of the greatest days in Hawkeye history.
Dick Rathman won the Indy 500 that saw the debut of rookie A.J. Foyt.
Yankees came back from a 1-3 deficit to win that Series. First team since the '25 Pirates to do it.
The flying v guitar. Michael Schenker, Ric Emmett, KK Downing, just to name a few of the virtuosos who mastered that work of art.
Don’t forget Michael’s brother Rudolph. And, while certainly no virtuoso, Kerry King of Slayer.
This is the year I was born in September 15 58
@ Debbie Blaylock, without the punctuation, it appears that you were born before all of us, in September 1558.
I knew what Debbie meant..! 😀
So did I. The magic word is appears, meaning I already knew. I generally write using the date first, then the month, and finally the year. So I would write 15 September 58. The English and many other countries put the date first. Well, we Americans have our own styles.
Me 2 10/8/58 👍

Better Days 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
In the summer of 1958, in the Great Lakes region, Michael Jackson, Madonna and Prince were born. Oh, I was too.
Me also
So was I! July 31 1958.
“oh, i was too” lol that was funny 😂
@@blooxylips I wouldn't trade places with Michael, Prince, or even Madonna today.
Oh no,The year of my birth
Who cares. This video is not about you.
Explorer I was launched by the United States on January 31 that year, competing with the Soviet Union on space. The 1958 World Cup was the first World Cup to be televised, and Brazil won. Two years before my dad was born and eight years before my mom was born.
So fare love them all. Keep up the great vlogs
Johnny Unitas! I was 3 years old then.
Who cares. This video is not about you.
The biggest story you did not mention..December 1, 1958, Our Lady of the Angels School fire in Chicago. 90 students and three Nuns died. Some student passed afterwards as adults due to the fire. Worst school fire in US history! Maybe you didnt know about it.
It was so horrible. It led to fire safety improvements in schools nationwide.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It was my beginning!
I know you did drive-ins already but can you please do movie theater's
Other than the few people that won color TV's on TV game shows, I don't know anybody that had a color TV back then.
We got an RCA in 1966/67 watched Voyage to bottom of the sea,That bright orange and brilliant blue sky.. but they were full of radiation....I have two noses now😊
they didn't hit the big time until @65,when networks were forced to broadcast in color.
@@packingten This video is not about you.
Willie O'Ree was NOT African-American. He was African-Canadian and was born in Nova Scotia, Canada. Valmore James was the first African-American to play in the NHL in the late 70s for the Buffalo Sabres. I believe he was from Long Island.
I think it's a double-edged sword I think most of it was a beautiful time where things were less complicated but at the same time if that was still so ugly and full of hatred and unfortunately many people of color didn't get to experience the beautifulness of this era because of the unfortunate hatred
my grandma was 16.
My parents married December 21st 1958
omg what…
That was the year that Michael Jackson was born...
Little did they know that in 30 years time (The legendary 80s), people will be breakdancing.
I was 12 and it was a different world.
Not necessarily bad.
the begining of the modern age.
Two things: the journal depicting the snow storm shows the year as being 1938, not 1958. Weird! The first color TV broadcast in 1958? I believe there was no color TV sets until 1964!
No, Eisenhower spoke on NBC's Washington station in '58 in color. He wore a black coat, white shirt and dark blue tie that was so dark it looked black. That's Ike for ya.
I believe that the first colour TV broadcast was available only in 4 major cities.
The date on the the article is March 21, 1958. You can compare it to other numbers on the right hand side.....32pages and 5Cents
The first mass-produced color TVs were sold in 1954, but only a small number of consumers could afford them. They didn't really become popular until after 1965.
@@stevenlitvintchouk3131 Thanks! But was there color TV broadcast in 1954? 🤔 I doubt it.
MIKMA WAS HERE
Who cares. This video is not about you.
REMBER THE SNOW FELL MADE MONEY THAT DAY COULD BUY MY 10 CENT COMICBOOKS AND ICE CREAM
1958 my folks bought our new house, three bedroom one full bath on a one acre wooded lot for $15,000. They lived in that house 42 years until diversity took over the neighborhood and they were the last original homeowners to leave.
My folks also bought in 1958, $12,000 lived there till dad passed 30 years later. Pops was a big Bosox fan and we went to Fenway to see the “Thumper” play; later in life, I was in Charm City and had the please of meeting Johnny U…
How did diversity affect it?
They don't keep the property up, don't mow the grass, trash lying around, houses run down, driveways full of clunky cars, kids are loud and rude, disrespectful, cops having to show up all the time etc...
That’s not diversity. That’s not showing pride for your home
Buck Shot What does that have to do with diversity?? Just wondering 🤷🏻♀️
Yay Bruins!
1st black NHL player Willie O'Ree was born in CANADA, so he was not an African-American, he was an African-Canadian!!!!
NASA...nearly every mission had military undertones, not that there is anything wrong with that.
🤣🤣🤣
This reminded me how much football has changed. Too many differences to get into, but I'm sorry to say it's just not as enjoyable as it used to be.
The Mel Blount rule in the late 1970s started the slide…then…rampant Steroids in the late 1980s…another big downward turn…then in 2020…the nfl went all woke. I’m out.
Guys played both ways back then. The 1958 University of Iowa Hawkeyes star Bob Jeter was a HIGHLY talented half back, but he was so talented on defense that he got drafted 1-2 years later by Vince Lombardi and Green Bay (think he was part of the two super bowl teams with them). A remarkable journey for that young man (he was originally from West Virginia, but since virtually no major schools in the region would recruit him to due to being Afro-American, Iowa coach Forest Evashevski came in and offered him and the rest is history).

And cheating on the tv program
August 29, 1958. The birth of Michael Jackson
I think these films are great but do not see how you could call that football game the greatest ever ?
The greatest quarterback to ever play pro-football depends I guess.
Unitas or Montana or Bradshaw ?
Various stats or a personal favorite will make sure we'll never I guess.
Jim Brown?...Joe Greene?
Let's also remember 1958 was the year Jake Epping came through the rabbit hole in Lisbon falls Maine from the year 2011 and tried to stop the assassination of President John F Kennedy!!
@@BR549-8 Great book right??
Greatest book EVER! Stephen King even recapped the Yankees comeback against Braves in '58 series after being down 1 -3. Sadie stole my heart too
@@garyfaught3769 I'm glad someone shares my passion for that book!! I've never read a book that has captured me like this one!! If you haven't listened to the Audiobook on Audible you really should it's a real treat the guy does all the character voices I've listened to it probably 7 times lol
I've read the book 3 times. Watched the mini series twice ( though it took place in 1960). Of course the movie never lives up to the book, but was excellent none the less. The way King wove actual historical facts into his gift of writing is amazing. For those of us who lived through those times ( I am almost 70), the music, sports, cars ( including a guest appearance by Christine) was like we were there. I will have to find the audiobook. Thanks for the heads up
@@garyfaught3769 Ya I love how he wove in the characters from IT into the book Richie and Beverly. I was not a fan of the series I thought it had a lot of potential but they changed way to much and had to put politics into it total turn off but I guess you can't please everyone lol
You don't "film" a show that is videotaped.
Pedants unite!
Willie Oree was practically the first and last Black NHL player, since 1958 there have been only a few hundred. Currently there are about 20.
Is that racist?
There are very few white NBA players. Is that racist?
@@beansmcdonough1782
Way more white NBA players. It was a loaded question that always needs to be asked these days about everything. Today I heard traffic accidents are racist. Just the times we live in.
I grew up in The South in the 50s, never saw an ice rink or wore ice skates. C’mon folks, just because someone isn’t selected to be a part of something doesn’t mean he has been persecuted or excluded; many factors are involved, such as deciding to keep all one’s teeth or forgo the concussions.
@@bparrish517
😂😂 actually there are no NHL players born and grew up anywhere in the south. Willie ORee is (still alive) Canadian. Many current black hockey players are Jamaican who transplanted to cold countries. The largest factor in Hockey player development is access to lots of Ice. I am mixed race grew up in NY played Hockey. Just didn't have the access to lots of Ice
@@charlesbaldo, Interesting background. Never thought about it much, but I’m surprised that in the last few decades there have not been any Southern born and bred guys in the NHL given its growth. On a side note, I didn’t hold a soccer ball until the middle 1960s despite always being active in many sports. Local programs and environment shaped much of how athletic life played out for me. Thanks for a positive addition to the conversation!
The hockey player Willie Oree was NOT "African-American".
He looked Colored to me...what was he then?
Somehow this POS manages to lose 1958 completely. I loathe it and quit at 2:21
The year I was born.
