Would this be the Latin All-Star Game that was held on October 12, 1963? I do believe that was the last baseball game. I love this story.

But as I recall, the New York Titans were also playing at the field, and football season would have ended sometime in December.

Did the Titan's actually play football?
As anybody who knows anything about AFL history, Harry Wismer was possibly the worst football owner in history. I'm not a Jet fan. But I thank God for Sonny Werblin.
