I was at Crosley Field, to see Hammerin' Hank get his 3,000th hit. A great time to be alive. As I recall, he had a few extra base hits that day including a homer (it might've been a double header).
But his 3,000th was a little seeing-eye single up the middle that barely got through the infield. I was just a kid, but still remember the loud standing ovation from the crowd. A memory I will always treasure.
RIP Hank
