Default What pre-war player appears in "The Natural"?
Posted By: Marty Kohler

The stadium was called Civic Stadium till around 1960 when the name was changed to War Memorial stadium....Home of the International League Buffalo Bisons and the American Football League Buffalo Bills, who beat the Jets there the same year they won Super Bowl III. The Bills had five interceptions. Tom Janik ran one back 102 yards. Also it was Joe McCarthy who had a upstate farm near Buffalo. He passed in 1978.....I don`t believe Billy Martin had anything to do with the film but don`t know for sure. There is an historical plague in front of "Marsh" Joe`s farmhouse. "Marsh" stands for master. May have been the greatest Manager of his era.

GO YARD
