Bat Day in 1968 was originally set for June 8, 1968 against the Mets but the game was cancelled after RFK was killed... it was rescheduled for June 29
The 1970 Bat Day was April 25, 1970 against Montreal.

Thanks Bob ... much appreciated. Interesting about the 1968 canceling due to RFK. I remember some seminal events from my childhood in SF, like earthquakes & Apollo 11, etc. But for some reason I don't remember the night RFK was killed. Usually I'd pick up a vibe from my parents. For instance when JFK was assassinated my Mom was watching TV and she started crying. As a kid that really freaked me out. I'll never forget that. Anyway ... thanks for the additional bat day dates!
