Slugger Frank Howard was there too. What a monster of a man. Stood about 6'7" and around 250 lbs. I saw Frank later on in his career when he joined the Tigers. The Tigers were in town for an exhibition game against the Astros. Just as the game began, a woman dashed on to the field out of the stands, ran right up the Frank and jumped up wrapping herself around him. She was quickly escorted off. Frank couldn't stop laughing while his teammates on the field were all clapping and sounding off.
