My station was in the aisle in the first row behind the Cardinals dugout. So I had about the same view as the players when Bruce Sutter struck out Gorman Thomas to end the Series. And I got paid for it!

Fast forward 29 years and I was at Game 7 in 2011 with my son as the Cards took down the Rangers. An amazing memory and an even more cherished bonding moment.
Great story. But still glad I was at game 6 in 2011. In 1982 we got our tickets from Pee Wee Reese who was the rep for H&B( Louisville Slugger). My wife was a shareholder
