Number 5 on our list, not that the order really matters, is the 1991 game hosted by Toronto at SkyDome. SkyDome opened in June of 1989, so in 1991 it still had that new stadium smell. It was the second time the game was played outside of the US. and it was the first time MLB had the FanFest with the game. Ferguson Jenkins threw the first pitch. 52,383 was the attendance. Were any of you at the game?
