being a yankees fan and of a little later era, i have seen that replay several times but this story brought forth the circumstances of the "shot heard round the world". good article.
One of THE greatest! EVER! I'm a die-hard Yank, but Bobby will go down in legondary status, as he should...rest in peace....
