1. New York Mets -- Shea Stadium
   Shea Stadium opened on April 17, 1964 in Flushing Meadows, Queens as the New York Mets played the Pittsburgh Pirates before 48,736 fans. The $25.5 million stadium marked a new beginning for the young club that had played its first two years at the Polo Grounds. The stadium was originally to be called Flushing Meadow Park but was later named for the popular attorney, William A. Shea, who spearheaded the drive to bring National League baseball back to New York following the departure of the Dodgers and Giants in 1957.
2. Washington Nationals -- Rfk Stadium
   On April 14, 2005, the Washington Nationals won their first regular season home game at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C, by a score of 5-3 against the Arizona Diamondbacks. President George W. Bush kept up a tradition of sitting U.S. Presidents by throwing out the ceremonial first pitch on opening day in Washington, exactly 95 years after William Howard Taft started the tradition at Griffith Stadium. There were 45,596 fans in attendance, including former Senators players and Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig. Liván Hernández threw eight shutout innings, and Vinny Castilla was denied the chance to hit for the cycle when Diamondback reliever Lance Cormier hit him with a pitch in the bottom of the eighth; Castilla needed only a single to complete the cycle. Chad Cordero recorded the save for Washington.

4. Zeppelin -- Concerts
   According to Mediabase, Led Zeppelin airplay increased 15.1 percent, comparing Monday and Tuesday, December 3 and 4, to the week of the concert, Monday and Tuesday, December 10 and 11. During the two-day period the week before the concert, Led Zeppelin registered 3,514 plays in the U.S. and Canada. The two-day period surrounding the concert saw airplay jump to 4,139 spins. The number of actual song titles increased by 21 percent, from 84 to 106 during the two-week comparison.
5. Led Zeppelin -- Songs
   The album topped the charts, and Led Zeppelin's subsequent concert tour of the United States in 1973 broke records for attendance, as they consistently filled large auditoriums and stadiums. At Tampa Stadium, Florida, they played to 56,800 fans (breaking the record set by The Beatles at Shea Stadium in 1965), and grossed $309,000.[19] Three sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden in New York were filmed for a motion picture, but the theatrical release of this project (The Song Remains the Same) would be delayed until 1976.
6. The Beatles -- New York
   The Beatles second American Tour began in August 1965. It started on August 15 at Shea Stadium in New York City. With 55 600 in attendance, this was, at the time, the largest crowd ever assembled for a concert in the USA. The show was filmed for a TV documentary, which was first broadcasted on March 1, 1966.
7. Red Sox
   No current members of the Red Sox are on the list. Coincidence? Perhaps. There is a chance that Gagne and Donnelly could have been with the Sox this December, and Theo let Donnelly go about 14 hours before the report came out. In addition, Mitchell cited Theo in an interview about Gagne which proved that Theo knew about Gagne's steroid usage before signing him.
8. The Beatles -- United States
   The Beatles' first feature film. Released by United Artists. A Walter Shenson – Subafilms Production. Comedy and music are combined to make this pastiche of a day in the life of The Beatles during 1964.
9. Santana -- Johan Santana
   Minnesota Twins pitcher Johan Santana works during the first inning action of a baseball game against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park in Boston in this Sept. 21, 2006 file photo. The Minnesota Twins reached a tentative agreement Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2008, to trade Johan Santana to the New York Mets. After months of deliberation, the Twins agreed to send the two-time Cy Young Award winner to the Mets for outfielder Carlos Gomez, and pitchers Phil Humber, Deolis Guerra and Kevin Mulvey, a person familiar with the deal said.
10. Nationals -- Washington Nationals
    The Washington Nationals are an American professional baseball team based in Washington DC, United States. The Nationals are a member of the Eastern Division of Major League Baseball's National League. From 2005 to 2007, the Nationals played in Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium. In 2008, they will move to a new stadium currently known simply as Nationals Park.
