Bang the Drum Slowly
1973
“The non-Florida baseball sequences were filmed at New York City's Yankee and Shea Stadiums during late May and June 1972, when the Yankees and Mets were on extended road trips.” Wikipedia
Named here by Shea Stadium’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Shea Stadium, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.
