The game time temperature for the 1966 All Star Game in St. Louis was 105. Spectators were passing out from the heat, and players were using smelling salts in the dugouts.
After the game, somebody asked Casey Stengel what he thought of the new stadium in downtown St. Louis. Replied The Old Perfessor, "Well, I'll tell ya, young fella, it sure seems to hold the heat real good."
