August 25, 1970 – A bomb scare in the
fourth inning at Met Stadium delayed the Boston Red Sox vs Minn. Twins game 43
minutes on this date.
A crowd of 17,697 evacuated the stands after an announcement over the public address system stated that a telephoned warning had been received that a bomb was due to go off. The evacuation was orderly and without panic with about 2,000 fans, players, police and vendors gathered in the center-field. The rest milled about in the parking lot. The bomb was supposed to go off at 10:30 PM, so after a 27 minute wait, the game was resumed at 10:57 PM.
