Baseball

In those days, Fenway was hardly ever sold out. It was late sept or early October and I was in the RF bleachers. Reggie hit a scorching line drive that never got more than 25 ft off the ground....but it maintained that trajectory into the RF bleachers....I think it took about 3 seconds to travel from bat to landing point. Dwight Evans (the greatest RF outfielder of all time, IMHO*) didn't move at all, never looked back. He knew it was gone....




* Talking defense, not batting. Mookie Betts was better offensively and pretty damn spectacular on making impossible cathches, but Dewey had the arm.....2nd/3rd/home....they gambled on a stretch and most often lost.
