I was actually at the game, and what is most interesting is we were sitting a bit into right field facing Buckner's back. So when the ball went through his legs, I saw it happen from behind, an angle that does not exist on any footage. So my memory is unlike anyone else who saw it on television.
And a sidenote about November 22, 1963. All of the people roughly my age remember that schools closed early that afternoon and everyone was sent home. But by pure chance I woke up that morning with a cold and my mother had me stay home. I remember watching TV in the late morning, turning it off to have lunch, and then turned it back on after eating and realized that something was very wrong. The first thing I heard was Governor Connally was shot...I had absolutely no idea who that was. Then a moment later I heard Kennedy was shot, and I knew something terrible had happened. |
