hjwii Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 So, let's see if anyone can confirm what I think I saw........I'm watching the 1977 World Series for a few minutes on the baseball channel earlier today. It's LA vs NY. I don;t know what inning, but I think it's game 6. And REG-GIE has just hit a homerun...Lasorda pulled the pitcher, and they show him going through the dugout and into a tunnel where there's a car waiting for him. I can only see part of the car, but I would hazard to guess it was a Datsun 280Zx, complete with pinstripes and the hat logo on the door. And, then they cut away back to REG-GIE. Now, let's keep in mind, I'm at my parents' house, so there is no fancy 21st century technology like a DVR, so I can;t go back and look or take a screen shot.Was I seeing things? Or did Yankee Stadium have lil Japanese sport cars to move players around in...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Yes, it did. And, if memory serves me, it was a 280Z (or whatever model they were up to at that point).The Orioles had a Toyota van for a while in the 80s.EDIT: Go back to '72 and it was apparently a dinky little Datsun 1200.http://jalopnik.com/308289/really-short-commute-yankees-datsun-bullpen-carI don't remember that, but I remember the 280Z (and will try to find a picture).

Jungle Jim Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I was always a fan of these style bull pen cars... The toy versions of those fetch a lot of money on ebay, just as all that NFL stuff you used to get from the Sears Christmas catalog back in the 70s.
