03/20/2004: "Australians Bested"

Once again, we of the Great Western Up Over have bested those of the Great Eastern Down Under. According to Detroit News (4th item):

Wig record

The one thing that might have surprised everyone at the Palace Friday night when the Pistons crowd set the record for "most people wearing wigs -- single venue" was that Ben Wallace was wearing cornrows.

"If mine would have counted for the record, then I would have worn it (afro)," Wallace said. "Because mine is real."

The new record is 6,213 people wearing wigs Friday at the Palace.

The previous record was 5,574, set September 7, 2003, at a Newcastle Knights-North Queensland Cowboys rugby match in New South Wales, Australia.

The Pistons' total has to be registered with the Guinness Book of World Records for it to become official.
