A great moment in American sports history. Still brings a chill when I watch it. Many thanks for posting the article.

Back to the days when baseball was fun! We had to sneak in transistor radios with an ear piece up our sleeves to hide it from the nuns in school.

A great story. Love of country was taught in schools.

Suits and ties at a baseball game.
Standing up to applaud his save of the flag.
Singing together to celebrate the act and our country.
We were better back then.
