CLIFTON!!

Hmmmmm, ya know I never thought about that. But hold on a minute now...If this was in the last inning of a "laugher" AND the pitcher was a long time Major leaguer, who really was aware of Cal's history etc. I could see it. It's been done before of course........but.... I simply don't see Park (wasn't this his first all-star game?) with ALL of Korea hanging on his every pitch, doing that. Nope, now that I think some more, not a chance. Simply not enough historical significance in the first place, to warrant throwing a "fat one".

Now speaking of "historical significance", did ya notice who was there?

RALPH BRANCA

One bad pitch....a lifetime of notoriety. (even more than Tracy Stallard!)
