I thought we're on the honor system here, and they're not supposed to look it up.

He'll be at tonight's World Series game. No longer does a James Dean impersonation.

Looks to be from either 1968 or 1969 at the formerly named Oakland-Alameda Coliseum. 

Bonus Question: after which season was Monday originally traded, to which team, and for whom in exchange?

[makepeac]

To the Cubs for Ken Holtzman?

Aka, former Halos scout

I know it's the hated Yankees, but...

what's the significance of this photo, and can you name everyone in it?

 

[T.G.]

Giradi, David Cone, Don Larson, Yogi Berra, David Wells, Jorge Posada.

All threw no hitters with these catchers.

Before I saw this answer, that was mine too.

Taking it a step further, they were all perfect games?

Yes they were.

When David Cone took the mound on July 18, 1999 it was Yogi Berra Day at Yankee Stadium. Yogi returned to the stadium for the first time in years after reconciling with George Steinbrenner. Don Larsen threw out the ceremonial first pitch that day.

August, 1964.

Who was the batter, and at what stadium?

Spoiler

AUGUST 12: Yankees Vs. Chicago , Micky's Long Ball: Outfielder Stephen's sees Mickey Mantle's record homer soar over screen into centerfield bleachers

My guess is Comiskey Park

I had to look it up

[NJHalo]

461 feet, that has to be Centerfield in the old Yankee Stadium. 

[Angel Oracle]

Reggie of course hit one waay into the CF bleachers in game 6 of the 1977 WS against the Dogs.

For once, Howard Cosell was almost speechless, simply saying “Oh, what a blast!”

Yankee stadium never had those dimensions.

Can you name: The teams, the stadium, the batter, the on-deck hitter?
