In a AAA minor league game in 1979, the Denver Bears trailed the Omaha Royals 14-7, with two outs and nobody on base in the bottom of the ninth. Denver's next nine batters all reached base and scored, capped by a three-run home run for a 16-14 Bears’ win.
Normally, a minor league game like this would have been witnessed by maybe a few thousand people in a small stadium, most of whom would have left before it was over. But the Bears played in Mile High Stadium, and this game was on the 4th of July with a big fireworks show scheduled after the game. So nobody left, and more than 38,000 people were there to see it happen.
