1977 Game 6


Recommended Posts

Watching the replay tonight, a couple of takeaways.

 

1. I really miss the B/S/O graphics on the screen.

2. Bert Hooton suvived by changing speeds and location, that knuckle-curve was something. I'm not sure his fastball could go through a paper bag though. Yankees get him out in the 4th though.

3. This is the REG-GIE REG-GIE REG-GIE game, it will still give you chills.

4. It's strange to see so many men in the NYC crowd, wearing suit and ties.

5. Seeing Tommy Lasorda just reminds of my 70's 80's hatred of the Dodgers.

6. Ron Cey still one of the goofiest looking players ever.

7. Steve Garvey was on fire this series, but he's listed at 5'10"...umm no way. I've stood next to him and he's about 5'8", at best. His forearms rivaled Popeye's.

1. Agreed.

2. Don't remember a lot about Hooton.

3. The ultimate prima dona of the era.

4. It is very strange now.

5. Always liked Lasorda, even thought I despised the Dodgers

6. Agreed

7. Never cared for Garvey at all. Had a face you'd like to punch.

 

Good takeaways.

There is a great book about that season for the Yankees (and New York City in general). ESPN later made a miniseries about it, but the book was much better. Wild season all around.

I seem to remember it was the Summer of Son of Sam and the blackout. Or was that 78?
