I was actually playing a Little League game when I heard about it.

I watched it on TV even though we lived about 35 miles from the Braves stadium. My parents set up the Pentax 35mm camera with Kodachrome color (slide) film on a tripod in from of the RCA color TV cabinet and photographed the hit.

We also watched and photographed Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon the same way.

My parents would give me and my younger brother 'slide shows' on the carousel slide projector when they got the film back from the developer. Same for family trips. My dad was like Clark Griswald.
