It means so little to me I had no idea the AL had dominated the last dozen or so contests. In fact, I can’t remember watching one since 1983. I must have, but I honestly have no memory of it.
So does this game technically go down in the record books as a tie instead of as an NL win?
I’m curious and I would be happier if it were a tie. Even a tie with an asterisk affixed to it would make me feel better. Although I’ll admit making a big deal about this is pretty lame.
I became an enemy of Pete Rose that day and it’s lasted ever since and when he got in trouble for betting, I wasn’t surprised because I was prepared for the worst. This may not be fair of me, but this is true.
This game means less to me than a spring training game. Now Fred Lynn’s ‘s grand slam in the ‘83 All-Star game at Comiskey Park, that was the high point for me, ending the National League's 11-game winning streak.
