To accommodate the overflow crowd in St. Petersburg, Break¬ fast Club played a ball game against the Three-Quarter Century team before 8,000 persons. Outfitted with rebel caps, 22 Break¬ fast Clubbers toured the South in a chartered Delta plane. Naturally, the mayor of Jacksonville was the first to present Patsy Lee — the only Californian aboard — with a sack of Florida oranges. Swcflwwt 'fiwp . . More than 38,000 saw Breakfast Club in action on a two-week Southern trip which included January broadcasts from St. Louis, Louisville, Nashville, Birmingham, Atlanta, Jacksonville, St. Peters¬ burg and Miami. There were many examples of fans traveling 300 to 500 miles. A party from Memphis registered 1300 miles roundtrip. Unable to get tickets in Nashville or Birmingham, they went on to Atlanta before seeing the show. Biggest turnout was in St. Petersburg. When all 2700 Coliseum tickets were grabbed up in one day, Don and the gang agreed to make an extra appearance with the famous Kids and Kubs softball team. The game drew the largest crowd in the history of A1 Lang Field, but the Breakfast Club lost to the 75-year olds.
