It took one of baseball\u2019s biggest personalities \u2013 and a staggering amount of money — to convince the Beatles to abandon a rare day off during their \u201964 U.S. tour. But when A\u2019s owner Charlie O. Finley repeatedly increased his bid to $150,000 for a concert at Municipal Stadium — tripling his original offer that was already higher than the band\u2019s regular rate — the Beatles couldn\u2019t refuse. Finley took a loss as the Beatles first performance at a ballpark drew only 20,207 fans, far short of capacity.<\/p>\n
