The Seattle Kingdome was built in 1976. Construction took two years, 443 tons of structural steel, 53,000 cubic yards of concrete, hundreds of builders, and $67 million. Do you know how long it took to knock it down? Only 16.8 seconds!

The Shot Heard 'Round The World
The season was over! At least that is what most fans thought. In 1951, it was easier to put a man on the moon than for the Giants to catch the Brooklyn Dodgers for baseball’s National League Pennant.
Facing Trouble But Living In Triumph
That's Not Fair
Dave Dravecky was on top of the world—and why not? On August 10, 1989 the pitcher for the San Francisco Giants had made a spectacular comeback from what seemed to be a career-ending cancer surgery on his throwing arm.
Opening Day
It is Opening Day for Major League baseball. Everyone has an opportunity to win. Unless the year is 1969 and the team is the New York Mets.
You've Been Drafted
