John....ole buddy
I too, still remember that event as if it was just yesterday.
My two schoolmates (both Brooklyn Dodger fans) and I scooted out of school (at 3 PM) and ran to my house and turned on the TV. Bobby Thomson was at bat.
Then Bobby hit.... "the shot heard around the world".... to win the National League Pennant for the NY Giants.
My two school buddies didn't talk to for 2 weeks, since I was rooting for the Giants.
