Thank you Reuven for pidgeon-holing those times; very helpful. What a thrill for Tom & everyone there to be part of & a witness to that ovation! May still be the longest one I’ve ever heard. I remember watching this live on TV & being thrilled out of my mind. I was a teenage Met fan back then, still crushed by Tom Terrific’s trade in the infamous “Midnight Massacre”…​@@spinedoc18

Yes!!!! Buying baseball cards and a bottle of yoohoo from the general store were the highlights of my summer.

[@sdne1959]

. Will FOREVER remember the EXCITEMENT I felt back then as a kid watching the All-Star game every year on TV. Cut to 2002 when I finally got the chance to 'live the dream' by attending the INFAMOUS Miller Park All-Star game (here in Milwaukee) that ended in a 7-7 tie, as a 40 year old adult! As disappointing as the finish of that game was, STILL a dream come true for the little kid that used to WORSHIP getting to see the All-Star game every year on TV !! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Major_League_Baseball_All-Star_Game .

Don't forget Curt Gowdy who teamed up with Kubek all those years. The best duo ever on NBC.

[@raymondleicht9691]

Still have my ticket stub to this game. The game was good but BP was amazing! Greg Luzinski hit 8 to 10 consecutive pitches into the left field seats. Parker, Valentine and Winfield took turns throwing bullets from deep right field to home plate on a line to the catcher. Seats were third deck between home plate and 1st base. We could see everything! Great memories.

[@Rockhound6165]

Loved watching The Bull hit batting practice. Watching him and Schmidt hitting BP was sometimes more entertaining than the game itself.

So many there that night who George lusted for, many went through the 80's revolving door - Gossage, LaRoche, Winfield, Reuschel, Wynegar, Campaneris, Jones, Griffey, Candelaria. One there who saved the '78 season was Bob Lemon. Singelton grew up in Mt. Vernon, both Carew and Ken played in McCombs Dam Park - fields that were taken away for the current Yanks Mallpark.

In 1977 and 1978, Hall of Famer Jim Palmer looked very mortal against Allstar competition.
