I hope so too...but might have to settle for highlights on Baseball Tonight, Sportscenter and local sports shows to see it....I think it will be on MLB.com also.

I was lucky enough to be able to go to the last 2 games on '96 and see his retirement tributes.

Back during the 1985 World Series, I remember, some of us (from our Air Force office) were watching one of the St. Louis games. And a couple of folks were trying to get a pool up on how high the altitude when The Wiz did the opening backflip. I had come back into the room and caught on and just about collapsed laughing, since I didn't think it had ever occurred to anyone to get anything close to a measurement. Then, I found out someone guesstimated authoritatively that he actually got about four inches higher than his actual height, and one guy was happy with a $400 pot. *sheesh*

I'm only grateful that no one thought to have a contest to see who could actually drive their car under The Wiz in midflight without smacking his head...
