Assuming we make it the World Series. Has there ever been a city to host both an All Star & World Series game? Go 'Stros!
A similar question was asked to Richard Justice, but the asker included the Super Bowl. There has never been a city that has hosted all 3 things in one year. I don't know about the ASG and WS only.
please no more threads about the world series until the astros actually get there -- dont want to jinx them
It has been done: '39 Yankee Stadium '46 Fenway Park '49 Ebbets Field '54 Municipal Stadium (Cleveland) '59 Memorial Stadium ** '60 Yankee Stadium ** '65 Metropolitan Stadium '70 Riverfront Stadium '77 Yankee Stadium '97 Jacobs Field **- There were 2 All-Star games played each year from '59-'61.
San Diego did that, but not the ALL-STAR, in 1998. http://www.sandiegometro.com/1998/dec/review.html Shoot, that's the Super Bowl... never mind... But we WOULD BE in the same category.
Houston came pretty close in 1986. Does anybody remember who was the starting pitcher for the American League in that game? HINT: Wayne Graham coached him at San Jacinto Junior College...
SUPERBOWL - ROCKETS/LAKERS NBA PLAYOFF - BASEBALL ALLSTAR GAME - WORLD SERIES? - TEXANS PLAYOFF BOUND? - TMAC/YAO BEGINNING Nov. 2th What other city comes close to what we're getting!! NONE!
