Message: [QUOTE="Frodo, post: 2731776, member: 119"] As well as being a Yankee fan, I was also a Pirates fan in the late 50’s and early 60’s. I listened to many Pirates games on KDKA with a portable radio tucked under my pillow trying to muffle the static. KDKA was a powerful station, but reception in New England was still spotty in those days. At any rate, I listened to that game, which was played in Milwaukee, as well as many other Pirates games in those days. By the time they got to the 10th inning it sounded as if the Braves fans were actually pulling for Haddix to keep it going and the cheers for him kept growing with each inning. It’s a virtual certainty that this will never be duplicated. One of the things that made that night so remarkable was that Haddix was not a star pitcher, but a journeyman 4-5 starter. [/QUOTE]
