OH, HOW I MISS BUNTING IN MLB!! TODAY'S OVERPAID MLB PLAYERS CAN'T BUNT A LICK. MISS GREAT BUNTERS LIKE BRET BUTLER, VINCE COLEMAN, WILLIE McGEE AND JAY BELL AMONG OTHERS.
Loved Gary Thorne, was mostly associated with Hockey and did Devils games 1987-93 and ESPN Hockey's lead play by play guy but he was great doing Mets games too back in this era. He was the commentator with Tom Seaver in 2000 with that epic Mets comeback against the Braves when they scored 10 runs in the 8th inning at Shea for a huge comeback win. His call of Piazza's HR that gave the Mets a 11-8 lead still can give you goosebumps.
I went to this game. Had the worst seats ever. Field level behind the LF foul pole all the way towards the back. Could have been the worst seats in the old Yankee Stadium. And they lost. Still had fun though. Good memories despite the seats.
