1984 All Star Baseball Game ⚾️
On June 2nd, 1984 we hosted the All-Time All-Star Baseball Game! In the spring of 1984, Superdome officials were still making their pitch to Major League Baseball to acquire a team. The Superdome was the site of major-league spring exhibitions games for the fifth consecutive year and the second Pelican Cup game between Tulane and UNO. In early June, there was a different baseball attraction in the Superdome.
Denver-based entertainment promoter Barry Fey came up with the idea to gather a collection of former major-league all-stars to play in the “All-Time All-Star” series. The first game occurred in Denver in 1983 and drew over 56,000 fans in Mile High Stadium. Fey thought New Orleans would be good site for one the games planned for 1984, since the city was still pursuing opportunities to showcase the Superdome.
Fey arranged for the American All-Stars to face the National All-Stars on June 2 in New Orleans. He got a bargain by paying each player $1,500 plus expenses. And they included some of the biggest names in baseball history: Hall of Famers Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Warren Spahn, Brooks Robinson, Wh**ey Ford, and Bob Feller.
