AK All Day Face: The MCG

The MCG (photo: Akka)

The Melbourne Cricket Ground. The spiritual center (centre?) of Australian cricket. And Aussie Rules Football. My excitement -- as it generally is with the AK All Day Face -- is apparent.

When I wrote of my trip to Melbourne in February, the MCG held the record for hosting the largest crowd to ever watch a baseball game, during the 1956 Olympics. But no more! For when the Los Angeles Coliseum hosted the Dodgers and Red Sox in an exhibition game just over a month after this photo was taken, it broke the record by about 1,300 people. And seeing as baseball is, you know, an American sport, well, that seems right.
