Remembering the time the Incredible Hulk SMASHED Yankee Stadium

Related Topics: Hulk, Yankee Stadium

In 1998, the Yankees became displaced from the friendly confines of Yankee Stadium when a structural defect causes a portion of the venue’s upper deck to collapse. Games were postponed for several days until the City of New York deemed the stadium safe enough to use again. In the meantime, the Yankees played at Shea Stadium. Now, imagine what things would have been like if the Incredible Hulk had smashed through the place.

That’s exactly what happened in an issue of The Incredible Hulk from 1968, and the aftermath was not pretty. In issue #103, by Gary Friedrich and Marie Severin, the Hulk had just been to Asgard, and Odin, in his infinite wisdom, beamed him back to Earth in the middle of Times Square.
