Thanks Ozzie, that was a great day. October 14, 1985

I watched one game in my life with just my Mom there and no one else.

That game was the one.

Great game and another great memory of Mom. I'll never forget it. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

Wow. I feel old.

And yes, I know I am old.

I was 12.

2 days later, in L.A. Niedenfuer became the latest victim of Jack "the Ripper."

I'll always remember Pedro Guerrero slamming his glove to the turf.

I was behind home plate....last row in the stadium. One of the friends that was with me had just commented that maybe Oz would hit a homer. Being the educated fan that I am I informed him that it would be unlikely since Ozzie had NEVER hit a homerun from the left side.

Next pitch left the park.

People stayed in the stadium for probably an hour after the game had ended.

Good times.

[SunuvaNun]

Did anyone, ANYONE have a voice left after that game?

I thought not.

I was there also.
The Landing was off the hook. I liken it to VJ day in Times Square.

Good Times.

But wait. There is something that can be done afterall. My good friend Angelo is a cop in the Tampa/Clearwater area. Since I kept all of the files from the access logs when I had the power to see them, guess what, I have everyone's IP addresses. Hmm..what can I do w/ those??

Ha Ha, I beat you both. I was just a couple weeks shy of the big 3-0 at that time. I was working night shift then too and got up and watched the game in my underwear. When Ozzie hit the homerun I ran out on the front porch and danced all around for awhile until I realized I was in my underwear.

The StL Blues will NEVER win the Stanley Cup. I repeat, NEVER!

I miss TLR!

I was 16. Didn't watch the game because I was busy.

OK this is ironic. I did not know that it was the anniversary but was driving to Indy very late last night to coach lindenwood. When KMOX re broadcast it this summer i recorded it on my PC, edited out the commercials and turned it into an mp3. I listened to it on my way here last night! great game, kept me up the whole way. The reaction of Buck is classic cause if you listen to the whole at bat he doesn't seem to think OZ can get a HIT much less homer, great stuff

Another 7-10 days until the Denkinger "anniversary".
