When I was a kid I saw that whole game on TV (afternoon game). Barry, I remember that bad hop that hit Kubek in the throat like it was yesterday. He went down like he was shot.
BTW, in 1992 I did a customer dinner with Mickey Mantle as the guest. I asked him about Maz's homer. He said Yogi was playing LF and when the ball went out Yogi just turned, faced the LF wall, and just kept shaking his head. That was what Mickey remembered most about the game.
