It's a Long Way to Home Plate--These right field spectators seated in the far reaches of the Coliseum needed field glasses today to watch the action in today's baseball inaugural between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants. The crows totalled 78,672, a new major league record for a single game but somewhat shy of the big saucer's capacity of 92,500. Los Angeles treated the home folks to a 6 to 5 victory.
