If I recall correctly from my "Fabulous Finales" video, the Giants were considered "mathematically eliminated" at the end of June, then went on some insane stretch drive to tie the Dodgers and leave it up to a single game to decide the pennant. Thomson had hit a go-ahead home run off the same Dodger pitcher in a crucial game a short while before the "shot heard round the world." Even as a Dodger fan, the highlight gives me chills. There's nothing like a walk-off home run in a big game, and that's easily some of the most passionate announcing ever. Russ Hodges was in the moment!
That's one I have tried to figure out too, mjzee. You can use the View Options to pare it down to the information you want, then select all, copy, and paste it into a Word Document, but it doesn't come out neatly formatted.
Just placed an order for the Savoy 2-cd set, which will be my first discs by Prez. Did I select a good introduction to Lester? I'll peruse this thread for more...
'Roids aside, there's no apologizing for still sporting the 1980's single earring look.
In fact, the entire practice of men wearing earrings should be abandoned. Give the giant diamond earrings back to your sister, please.

LeBron shouldn't necessarily do anything to help the Cavs, and he didn't. It just would have been the "cool" thing to do. But, it's a business, and LeBron only needs to look out for his own best interests.
He didn't have to go to Miami, or it could have involved several teams...or something. I'm just saying it's a dick move to leave Cleveland in shambles. They'll go from the best regular season record in the NBA to one of the worst, guaranteed.
The criticism I agree with most is that LeBron James is now on Dwyane Wade's team. It is not LeBron's team. The proven winner is Wade, the face of the Heat franchise, and LeBron has demoted himself to second fiddle.
Well, if I were a Cleveland fan I'd be most pissed that LeBron didn't negotiate a sign-and-trade to bring some sort of replacement(s) to the Cavs. Instead he left them hanging, until all the free agents and possible trades were out of reach, then kicked them off the cliff to complete irrelevance.
It's stunning that he didn't at least make some sort of effort to get the Cavaliers some players in return, in a sign-and-trade or something. By all accounts the organization had catered to LeBron's every need and bent over backwards to make him comfortable, down to babysitting. The least he could have done is gotten Cleveland a marquee player or two in return.
Really poorly handled, all the way around.
The NBA, where guilty until proven innocent happens. So awesome how accepting a cash payoff to STFU rather than actually seeking justice is taken as a sign of credibility--as opposed to getting what she actually was after [$$$].
Never mind though, back to how great LeBron is despite the fact that he totally tanked it in the playoffs, just threw his hometown under the bus, and speaks of himself in the third person.
Less than $1.5 million left to spend before going into luxury tax mode. Needless to say, they'll be looking for guys who are willing to play for less in order to win.
