Message: [QUOTE="BlueDolphin, post: 3577517, member: 1274"] Mays was exciting just walking onto the field. Monte Irvin hit the longest HR I've ever seen in person (Polo Grounds 1949). Bobby Thomson, Dark, Stanky, Reese, Robinson, Campy, Hodges, Manle, Berra, Maris and most of the other Giants, Dodgers, and Yankees of the Golden Era of NY Sports. At all 3 ball parks. Saw Kiner & Garagiola hit HRs against the Dodgers in Ebbets Field (1951). Saw Koosman hit Santo in the 1969 Black Cat game right after Hands hit Agee. That was the moment when we knew the Mets were winning the pennant. Banks & Williams were in that game. Henry Aaron, Rico Carty et al in the 1969 Playoffs. Nolan Ryan came out of bullpen to fan Carty after he hit a couple of seat breakers and turned the game around to win the pennant. [/QUOTE]
