[Baseball Guru]

[PopTop]

I should be more confident with this answer, but for some reason my brain's a little fuzzy this a.m. ... Pirates & Reds is my answer.

[danimal]

June 4, 1940. Pirates rout the Boston Bees 14?2. 20,319 in attendence.

[Baseball Guru]

Nope, both wrong.....

heehee:lmao:

Shawn, you should really know this....

[BPBlueSox]

According to this 1966 Yearbook I have of the Pirates, it has the first night game listed as June 4, 1940 like danimal said...a 14-2 win for the Buccos over Boston.

Now if you referring to something other than a pro game...beats me...

First night game played was played between the KC Monarchs and Homestead Grays in July of 1930

Only the Ball was White, page 124.

Am I correct, James??

[GiveHyzduashot]

Guess I get what I deserve for staying up later than usual.

But I should clarify: I am a genius at trivia. As James will verify. ;)
