Another one from Charles’ collection.
Of course when we all hear Todd Pratt we think of one thing. I was on a beach in San Diego when he hit that homer…the game wasn’t on local radio but I got lucky and my digital walkman picked up the audio of the local Fox TV affiliate on like 87.5 FM.
I hated that series too…remember the 11pm start? Can you imagine Mets Police if there was an 11pm playoff start? Or a 5am in Japan Opening Day?! Get my time machine!
I actually got up at 4 or 4:30 and cooked my usual Opening Day sausage dogs for that Japan Opener. Sleep and all common sense be damned, it was actually kinda fun in a warped, “I’m in my 20s and can do crap like that” sort of way.
Whether I saw the whole game or had to leave for work before it was over escapes my memory now.
