I too love the game. My Dad took me to my first game at Ebbets Field and he caught a foul ball hit by Pee Wee Reese that I still have. After the Dodgers moved, I became a lifelong Yankee fan and remember sitting in the right field bleachers and chasing down batting practice home runs hit by Mantle and Maris. I endured the Hoss Clark, Mike Kekich, Fritz Peterson years. I remember Chambliss hitting that homer to beat the Royals. I mourned the death of Thurman and was proud of Mickeys redemption at the end. I was at the Pine tar game. I got to sit in the dugout pregame and chat with Mattingly and Tony Kubeck. But I have never seen anything like last night. Truly an amazing baseball night when it seemed like the fates were in control.
