Coldest Super Bowl inside the stadium? Super Bowl XI, New Orleans 39°F. Second coldest? Super Bowl IX, also New Orleans 46°F. Both games held at Tulane. . . .
Minneapolis just a few years ago was the coldest outside, at 2°F. . . .
First halftime performer--Carol Channing
Carol Channing of Lowell HS in SF...also attended Aptos Jr. High (in SF, not Aptos, CA). She married her Aptos JrHi/Lowell HS sweetheart, Harry Kulijian, reuniting 70 years after they graduated -- her fourth and final marriage.
The same player was on deck when both Hank Aaron and Sadaharu Oh hit their 715th home run. Who was that player?
Also...Henry Aaron toured Japan with the Mets after the 1974 season. He was 40 years old, Sadaharu Oh was 34 years old. They faced off in a home run derby. Who won?
Dusty Baker

Davey Johnson was the batter on deck behind Aaron for both teams.
Aaron won the home run derby, 10 HRs to 9 HRs.

Double check your info, Baker was on deck for Aaron’s 715th in Atlanta. I have no idea who was on deck when Oh hit his 715th.

you're right, bad internet info. Future Giant Darrell Evans batted third, Aaron 4th, Baker 5th, Johnson 6th.

Correct! That’s the three starters. Now for extra extra credit name the fourth 76er to be named a reserve in the game.
