Still remeber sitting in the stands for that horrible game 7,singing "We are Family,Parker's momma does it for free."

JudgeWapner · Apr 2, 2004

Also was at Game 2 when it snowed.Blyleven's curve was breaking about 3 feet that night.

Journeyman · Apr 2, 2004

I was at 6 and 7 Judge...I remember being very close to tears...I did get Lee May's bat at game 6 and I still have a '79 WS Ball...

JudgeWapner · Apr 2, 2004

Ahhhh the memories.Even the bad ones are good ones.

Journeyman · Apr 2, 2004

Judge remember when Murray came up with the game on the line, he laced one to right that he just missed (kinda topped it)...

A fraction of an inch and he goes down in history...I think it was the bottom of the eigth....Instead just a flyball into Parker's glove...

Journeyman · Apr 2, 2004

I remember being in Social Studies the day of the game and the snow was coming down...I thought it was game one though, the field was a mess!

JudgeWapner · Apr 2, 2004

JM,remember it well.Was sitting down right field line and thought it may have a shot.I'm actually surprised to have any memories at all from that time period.

Journeyman · Apr 2, 2004

LOL, Judge...it has been a while now! I was walking behind the backstop area (along the red railing that circled the park) people were yelling "sitdown" it was a very tense moment...That team will always be my favorite team, in my mind they were champions...it was a great year Judge...
