    I saw that one too. As a Dodger fan, my feelings were for the pitcher, Al Downing. He had once been a feared fire-baller, but he had resurrected his career in Los Angeles as a 20 game winning, master of control. Alas, he left one up in the strike zone to Hank Aaron and you know the rest. Sigh...

    I remember watching that too. I made a point to remember Downing's name because I thought that it would be a sports trivia question in the future. 8)
