Turned out that the game we did attend was even better.<br />A few years later I was in Houston and my buddy and I had used our college newspaper credentials to worm our way into the MLB Winter Meetings. I got to sit at Earl Weaver's table for a luncheon and asked him about that game. He seemed to remember every pitch and went on and on about it. Good times, indeed.Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766775162963853142.post-9330952428086192932010-01-28T21:10:38.545-05:002010-01-28T21:10:38.545-05:00Doug - Good eye!Doug - Good eye!Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01334533396646438555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766775162963853142.post-23503509457171228412010-01-28T11:28:53.031-05:002010-01-28T11:28:53.031-05:00Great to see the Polo Grounds behind Lindy in that...Great to see the Polo Grounds behind Lindy in that picture.

Yanks at Memorial Stadium in July of 1970. Back and forth game, one team jumping on the other, a pair of homers by Frank Robinson, the second of which came in the bottom of the 9th after a Yankee rally had put them up by two runs. McDaniel was pitching and proceeded to load the bases with none out. Then he buckled down and stuck out Crowley and Hendricks on three pitches each. Buford got two strikes on HIM and them laced a single to right to win the game. Eight strikes in a row for Lindy with the winning run on second. Amazingly fun game.Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766775162963853142.post-30794719102204253582010-01-27T07:30:14.730-05:002010-01-27T07:30:14.730-05:00Lindy actually has a Website Dedicated to him.
