Message: [QUOTE="chj001, post: 3705581, member: 8206"] Saw Willie in the 1973 NLCS games vs. the Reds. Particularly remember Game 3 with the Rose/Harrelson fight, after which, Yogi, Willie, Tom Terrific, Cleon and Rusty had to go out to left field to keep the fans from beaning Pete Rose with a beer bottle (and possibly forfeiting the game). I was really a Mickey fan growing up (the Mets weren't in existence yet, but I switched my allegience to the Mets in the mid-70s during the Steinbrenner/Billy Martin days. Since then, I've hated the Yankees). My favorite Mickey moment was at the NY Worlds Fair in '64. We were on line to see the DuPont Pavillion (a 2 hour wait) where I listened (on my transistor radio) to most of Game 3 of the World Series between the Yankees and the Cards. Just as we were about to get into the Pavillion (and would have to turn off my radio), Mickey hit a walk-off off of Barney Schultz to break a 1-1 tie. Wow! [/QUOTE]
