I was at Game 6 and what I remembered most about it was that Frank Robinson almost willed himself to manufacture that run. Yes, game seven was quite a different story, i watched that from my grandmother's house on 29th Street, across from old Oriole Park that had burnt down, I think, in 1944. That was infamous Boog Powell cut off game, in which Boog cut off the throw from Paul Blair that some falsely claim could have prevented the eventual winning run from scoring had Boog not cut it off. I asked Boog about that when I met him last year and that accusation still haunts him. "I was right to cut that ball off, you can ask Paul Blair, he will back me up on it!" I have been following the Orioles since 1954 but I will talk more about later on another thread.
