I was 10 and conveniently got a sore throat on Monday night before Game 3, so I stayed home from school. Fortunately, my grandmother was able to come over to stay with me during the day, so I got to watch all 3 games on TV (truth be known, I probably could have gone to school on Thursday, but no way was I going to miss that, so I told my mother "better give it one more day". I still remember the front of the Daily News the next days, showing the fans on the field and a headline in huge type "WORLD CHAMPS!" That started an obsession with baseball for me. 1970 I was all about baseball. This tempered over the years, now I hardly ever watch baseball. |
