Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 3578422, member: 2500"] I was in LF for that game. And even though we could see Finley clearly go over the wall, even we had no idea if he came down with Pratt's HR. Anyway, I was taking a new job in Quincy MA, so I knew that game would pretty much be my last at a NYC park for some time. And I knew I'd probably never go to Bobby V's again, so my gf (now wife) headed there afterwards. When BV held court it was in a small seating area in a raised area that held 3-4 tables. The place was crowded when we got there around 6-ish. But there were two open tables in BVs area, so we just sat at one. A little while later, BV shows up with Ralph Branca and a couple other guys and he's talking about every little detail of the game - it's Bobby V, after all, who doesn't know how to talk quietly. By this time, we realize we're not supposed to be sitting where we are (another waitress informed us, but there was no other table to move to, so she let us stay). I'm not one to ask for autographs (only once, when Nomar was sitting across from me on a flight from Dallas the night he hurt his arm, he signed my boarding pass), so we left them alone, but just listening to BV explain his thoughts during key moments was a blast.
