Oh, we could talk Mets ball for a while! I showed my son bauerpauer my tape of Game 6 of the 86 Series as a way of showing him that it really AIN’T over till it’s ALL over. He was amazed (being in fourth grade at the time). I just told him about Game 6 of the NL playoffs against the Astros. I sat in my car for a couple of hours after the 9th came and went, waiting to pay a store bill. Wouldn’t leave till it was over. I had San Franciscans coming up to me in the car, asking about the game.

My summers growing up were spent with Lindsey Nelson on the radio.

Best baseball game ever played. Not just my opinion, a lot of sportswriters wrote it at the time. I taped as well and watch often (though I have the DVD now!).

Ahhhhhhhhhh, Lindsey. Nice jackets. Was never much of a Bob Murphy fan though.

And since we were speaking of Tim before, I always thought he made Ralph Kiner a better announcer when they started working together, although Ralph was pretty good before, but he just started to sound bored until Timmy.
