Anyone Remember Banner Day ?

A piece in the Sunday NY Times Sports Section for July 12 brought back memories. In it was a picture of a Banner Day parade at Shea Stadium, circa 1978. If you notice this scoreboard with the Schafer beer and, Manufacturers Hanover Bank ads, you'll also see a reference to "Senior Citizens Day". Buy, so much has changed. How about "Ladies' Day" ?

Check out the article the piece: http://bats.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/10/the-bedsheet-blog-send-the-mets-a-message/?ref=sports, and share with us what you recall from baseball that is now lost (i.e. Banner Day or Sunday/holiday doubleheaders).
