Growing up in the 1980's I watched a whole bunch of games on the TBS and WGN Superstations.
At the games at Shea it seemed that every 90 seconds or so the broadcast would be stalled by the sound of a low flying jet approaching La Guardia. (the screen would shake with the reverberations). I remember Harry Caray completely losing his train of thought whenever a jet crossed over.
But then suddenly, all the noise stopped, and it was never an issue.
Was there some official law that diverted the planes during baseball games? Or did the airlines schedule differently?
