If you're refering to the 1984 series in Detroit, I was at that game. Right field upper deck..........
Little story: A friend of mine's wife and her two sisters waited all night outside Tiger stadium, slept in sleeping bags, just to get tickets for that game at the Tiger box office.
We get to our seats at the game and the guy sitting right next to me with his son was a friend of mine from work who was the purchasing department manager. He had his tickets handed to him by one of our vendors..........lucky SOB
If you've never listened to Bob Costas retell the story in Ken Burns' PBS documentary Baseball, you've missed, IMO, the greatest description of an at-bat in the world.
Even now, years after I last watched it, it sends shivers down my spine and almost brings me to tears.
Kurt was so hurt that he could barely walk, and he was still able to hit one out of the park. The image of watching him limp to first base is permanently etched in my mind.
Lucky you! I was flipping channels that night and happened across the game. I saw the box score and I decided to watch it in case something “magical” happened. I’m glad I did and it’s one of my fondest baseball memories.
