Jim Kern was there in 1975 when MLB history was made in Cleveland, Ohio.
“That was an unusual Opening Day,” Kern, a former Cleveland Indians’ pitcher, told The Epoch Times about the atmosphere at Municipal Stadium on April 8, 1975. “We (Indians) didn’t normally draw well back in the 1970s but for that historic game, there was a huge turnout.” There were 56,715 people in attendance.
