I would have sworn Bahnsen was tossed along with Pinson. And I had to prove to my friend that Murcer's homers were in both game, not 4 in 1.Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766775162963853142.post-11044157340582448142010-07-29T15:56:00.294-04:002010-07-29T15:56:00.294-04:00Doug - Thanks for the tip!

That day at Yankee Stadium was the most fun I've ever had at a ballpark. <br />Consider:<br />1)The Hamilton-Horton thing. I've never seen a hitter do anything quite like Horton's crawl back to the dugout.<br />2)Bobby Murcer's four consecutive homers over the course of the doubleheader. (With a walk stuck in there as well)<br />3) A great fight at home plate between Stan Bahnsen and Vada Pinson following a play at the plate. Pinson got tossed if I recall correctly. <br />4) Some joker tossing a cherry bomb from the upper deck that landed almost under Ray Fosse as he caught. He jumped about five feet in the air. <br />We saw all this from seats behind the Indian dugout, courtesy of a friendly usher we had schmoozed for a season or two. He liked us and always got us close to the field. If that video was larger/clearer I could probably find us in the crowd when Horton went to his knees. He was right down in front of us.Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766775162963853142.post-23858711395657687442010-07-28T09:36:35.302-04:002010-07-28T09:36:35.302-04:00Kevin, I'm going to guess the photo was taken ...Kevin, I'm going to guess the photo was taken in '63 and that's Marshall Bridges (#30) in the background. Other possibility would be Bill Kunkel (#20 in '63).Doug C.noreply@blogger.com
