I was only about 8 or 9 but still remember jumping up and down and screaming. <BR/><BR/>My daddy used to rock me to sleep at night listening to the Braves on the radio. Even now when I hear a baseball announcer I remember snuggling up in Daddy's lap, listening to the creak of the rocking chair on the wooden floor and the excitement of the game... now I'm starting to sound like Bruce!

Denny Lemaster and Sandy Koufax had a 1-1 game into he 9th. Maury Wills reached 2nd on an error to lead off and scored on a double by Willie Davis (Wes Parker, who had been hit by a pitch, was thrown out at the plate - Alou to Menke to Oliver) and the Dodgers won 2-1. I have lots of memories from the old days in that stadium.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30847017.post-47245982246130077012007-06-09T14:27:00.000-04:002007-06-09T14:27:00.000-04:00I am so envious, what a great time you must of had...I am so envious, what a great time you must of had.

I just talked with him and listened to what a great time the two of you had at the game. He wanted me to look at the story on your web site. I did enjoy reading it and some of the other stories. Donnie and Shawna gave me your book for a gift and I really enjoyed reading the stories. Keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
