. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Twins and Blue Jays played 14 innings and were tied, 5-5, when the game was suspended because of a 4 p.m. curfew invoked because of a rock concert being held in connection with the Canadian National Exhibition. The game was resumed the following day prior to the regularly-scheduled contest. [The Sporting News]
