Softball Game

The First Worldcon featured a softball game, held at "Flushing Flats" -- a big athletic field opposite James V. Taurasi's home in Flushing. The teams were called the "Queens Cometeers" and the "PSFS Panthers" -- though the membership wasn't exclusively from the Queens SFL or the PSFS.
