Back then the Mets farm team was in Norfolk (now that's the O's farm team) and they played too I believe. My grandfather always told stories about the Yankees playing an exhibition game in Richmond when he was a kid on their way back up to NY at the end of spring training every year. That would have been in the 30s.

I seen Cincinnati Reds play the Detroit Tigers in Detroit back in 1977. I remember Johnny Bench played LF. These days they are very careful about playing players out of position.
