Yankees Return Crowds Drenched In Newark Airport Scene
More than 5,000 fans gathered at Newark International Airport to greet the New York Yankees after their four straight World Series wins. Overcrowding led to barriers being knocked down and police losing control, prompting a temporary airport closure and a soaking from a fire truck. Fans criticized the scene as chaotic while the team was whisked away to buses. In Pratt, Kansas, the Forestry Commission voted to raise 27 sportsmen licenses and permits starting Jan 1, 1980, increasing resident hunting and fishing licenses by $2 after 17 public hearings statewide.
