Default disappointing moment

Posted By: Peter Thomas

in his last at bat was my most memorable - saw the game for free in the bleachers september 1960 and ball landed about 50 feet from me.

Mays's catch and throw was amazing - could not believe he caught the ball. His arm was unbelievable - saw a throwing contest beween he and Jim Peirsol in 50's which was not even close and Jim's great arm was never the same after that contest.

Fisk's HR in 75 seen in a hotel room in Mawawh NJ is next for me. Followed the by pain in game 7 and again by pain in game 7 11 years later. Finally 18 more years to peace - there are some advantages to a long life.

Disapointment - not getting to see Aaron and Mathews pound the ball around Braves Field in Boston. I think Hanks would have 800+ there.
