Same thing Maris' 61st HR at Yankee Stadium. I had friends who I knew weren't at the game describe how they were. Amazing.

Couldn't have done that because the train station serving the PG was NOT elevated. It was underground, a subway, so he couldn't get any reception on a radio there. Also, it was fairly cumbersome to take a portable radio with you on a train then, because small transistor radios were still a few years away in 1951.
