The Hammer by Egantx7

Question 9

The Braves started 1974 on the road, and made it clear that they would sit Aaron so that he could tie and break Babe Ruth's record at home. MLB Commissioner Bowie Kuhn forced the Braves to start Aaron in at least some of the games, and thus Hank Aaron tied the Babe at this forgettable stadium. In 1970, Aaron had hit the first home run in this stadium, the same year Sam Wyche scored the first touchdown here. In 1970, this abomination was the first to host a World Series game on artificial turf. Identify this cookie cutter style stadium "with the ambiance of a morgue" whose high point was likely an Eric Show pitch that resulted in a single on 11 September 1985.
