You dialed an 800 number, gave them a credit card number, and they plugged you in to the radio play by play of whichever game you wanted to listen to. It cost about $35 a game if I recall correctly. Teamline was originally set up so Cuban and his Indiana buddies in Dallas could listen to IU basketball games, but he eventually sold it to Yahoo for nearly $6 billion. Pretty sure the CardBoard would go for double that.
For a few years in the 70s a wealthy Nebraska alum personally paid for all Their games to be broadcast on the radio. I could barely h ar our games but Nebraska came in loud and clear. He lived in Glendora, as did we.
