LEE MACPHAIL
Game 235 | July 2, 1975 | Calvin Griffith, Lee MacPhail
Succeeding Joe Cronin as American League President in 1974, MacPhail was visiting each major league team in 1975. The Twins had led the American League in attendance in the 1960s, but owner Griffith told the audience that he was going to need help unless attendance improved soon. In 1974 the Twins drew just 662,401 fans, an average of just 8,603 per game.
