RyanB06 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 The Yankee one is in the neighborhood of 73,000 - the Red Sox were the visitors.Didn't the Pope hold an event at Shea before the Beatles?

CDuffy26 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I'm pretty sure it was a Jets game, not sure against who though... Interesting Baseball fact: In 1960: Baltimore, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh had 2 AAA affiliates, while Los Angeles had 3 teams...and the New York Yankees had the Kansas City Athletics.Interesting Hockey fact: In 1974, the Buffalo Sabres draft Taro Tsujimoto of the Toyko Katanas with th 183 pick in the draft. It was later revealed that Taro didn't exist, but Taro is still listed as an offical draftee of the Buffalo Sabres in their Media Guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 1. What was the first non Baseball event to take place at SHea Stadium?I am going to guess a Billy Graham event. I seem to remember hearing that somewhere...that doesn't necessarily mean my memory is correct but it sounds right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njmeadowlanders Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Oh, and it's most likely that this event had something to do with the World's Fair, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
