It's muddy, it's messy, and it's the first sold out Grey Cup game ever. Twenty-seven thousand fans are packed into Toronto's Varsity Stadium to watch the hometown Argonauts play the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, for the 1950 Cup. A big snowfall the night before has just melted, thanks to a kick-off temperature of 10 C, so the field is pure mud. Beginning a long tradition of weather-related drama, the game continues despite the conditions. Midway into the game, a Blue Bomber plummets, face down, into a muddy puddle. When he doesn't move for several minutes the fans call out, trying to alert someone that he might be in danger. Years later, the game would be remembered as the only one in which a player nearly drowned.
