50th Anniversary at Forbes Wall in Oakland- October 13th- 1 PM
The radio will be playing the game. Starts at 1 and the home run hit by Mazeroski will play at 3:36 PM. Lots of the team will be there. My friend Sue will help interview and point out players for a friend who is filming the occasion. Very exciting, And Happy Birthday to Marianne who was at the game with her Uncle Bobo in 1960. Learned at the Rick Sebak lecture that no beer was sold inside the ball park at that time. You could buy it outside and bring it in. So not the actual spot of the wall where the home run went over but a piece of the wall to commemorate the game.(click for details)
Going to be a crowd here today to listen to the rebroadcast and celebrate.
I think I missed that event 50 years ago!
