What is odd about Jones and Weis was three years earlier on Sept. 22, 1966, they were with the White Sox who were at Yankee Stadium, playing the Yankees in a game that drew just 417 fans, fifth smallest crowd in MLB history and the smallest ever in any incarnation of Yankee Stadium. That is the game many believe caused legendary play-by-play voice Red Barber not to have his contract renewed by the Yankees (including by Barber himself).That game was a ONE game series originally scheduled for two days earlier but postponed twice by rain as the other two games of that series were moved up to a standalone doubleheader that July 4 because they teams the White Sox and Yankees were originally scheduled to play that July 4, the then-Senators and Red Sox respectively played at Fenway what was originally supposed to be their season-ending two-game series that Oct. 1-2 but had to be moved because the then-Boston Patriots, then playing home games at Fenway I believe at the behest of the city of Boston apparently kicked them out due to home games that Sept. 25 and Oct. 2 and not wanting the Red Sox to play any home games there once the Pats home schedule began. |
