Subject: RE: Cal Ripken HR. in All star game
It was before my time as well Steve, but being from the east coast and a life long JINTS fan, I've heard the replay a thousand times through the years.

Funny you should mention "Wild Thing" Williams. What a sad story, the Philly fans ran the guy right out of baseball after that home run he gave up to Joe Carter. And how about poor Bill Buckner? The guy was a great hitter for years. One flubbed grounder and he may as well have been a rookie having a cup of coffee in the majors.
