So anybody have any recollection of the game? I think this is the first time I've seen a mention of BOC playing a charity ball game in a face off against a radio station.
This came from a part of the article talking about Joan Jett: "She played in a benefit softball game at Lower Woodland Park near Green Lake on July 22, 1982. Along with Jett, members of Foreigner, Loverboy, and Blue Oyster Cult faced off against employees of the radio station KISW."
Who played in the game? POST PICTURES! Inquiring minds want to see! Especially if anybody was using a guitar as a ball bat!

AFAIK, according to the reports I saw, it was just Rick Downey who represented BOC at that event (he was described as being "at shortstop," whatever that is) - no idea if any other band members turned up though...

Well at least it was real band member, not a one-day hire stage hand.
Did a quick search, found nothing about the game.
Case closed.

Especially if anybody was using a guitar as a ball bat! Funny you should say that - here's the poster for the actual gig the next day:  |

Next time Buck and the boys play at a festival or something, might be a nice gimmick for the crowd. BOC has stayed away from instrument smashing, now might be a good time. Wouldn't even have to be a full game, just see who could hit the ball the furthest or the most accurately. Those guys are bound to have 5 guitars by now they could sacrifice. If not, Ritchie's family shop/store might have 5 sacrificial dogs ready for the dumpster. The pickups or anything of value could be removed, nobody would notice.
Proper musical selection selection during the "play" would be required. I nominate "Damaged" for one tune.
A charity auction could be held. The winners could get the balls - autographed by the band of course.
Isn't it fun to be a BOC event planner!
