OT -- Last Night -- Greatness personified

[Rich Klein]

I was fortunate enough to be in the stands for the third batter to hit three homers in a World Series game.

We've talked about this before, but that game ranks among the great feats I've seen in person, what are some of yours>

He simply is amazing. And for what he is getting paid now, he is a complete bargain... Congrats on going to a fantastic game. This is one of the few rare moments in modern day sports that will be remembered for years to come, especially if the Cardinals win it all..

What's most interesting is he didn't even hit the first one until the 6th inning. The chances of hitting three that late in the game are miniscule.

Two greatest:

1. In high school saw Mike Lieberthal hit for the cycle in homers in a game. Solo, 2-run, 3-run, grand slam.

2. I had kidney stones and went yard at a co-ed softball game. Could barely round the bases. Anyone who's ever had kidney stones will realize how incredible this is. I wound up going to the ER later that day.

I'd thought about trying to get a ticket to the game and driving up from San Antonio, but decided against it Not that I could've gotten a ticket anyway.

Talk about a Monster game.....tied the record for most home runs in a World Series game, tied the record for most RBIs in a World Series Game, and tied the record for most hits in a World Series game!!!

I think Pujols also became the first player in World Series history to have hits in four consecutive innings!

I've been to three memorable games:

Fergie Jenkins' 3,000th K in San Diego
Nolan Ryan pitching a 1-hitter in San Diego
Nolan Ryan's 7th no hitter in Arlington

I was at Nolan Ryan's 300th win in Milwaukee a few years back!

I was at Yankee Stadium in 1985 for Tom Seaver's 300th win (I went with Ted Z who shows up here) and at the Vet in Philly for Kevin Mulwood's no hitter against the Giants in 1993.
