I like that the ref called it a TD just in case, because I don't think he knew, lol. Let the replay guys overturn it if it must be, but if there isn't evidence one way or the other, let the guys play.
Yes, that's what I'm telling you. I'm not saying they'd root for JV, just that they wouldn't boo him like they did Stafford. He'd be treated like any other non-controversial opponent.
Candlestick had a free section for active duty service members -- lower deck outfield down the 1st base line -- and I saw a number of games with my buddy when I was stationed in Sacramento. I can confirm that the wind gusts there were really annoying. There was a constant tornado of hot dog wrappers and peanut bags in that section.
Don Wert was one of those guys from the 68 team that retired before I started watching baseball.
