Fifty years ago today, Hammerin’ Hank took down the Bambino. Let’s all get in the time machine for two minutes.
@Super70sSports It’s weird seeing that first pitch in the dirt and the catcher throwing the ball right back to the pitcher.
@Super70sSports Incredibly fluid swing - just so effortless. The man was a freakin' genius. Very soft spoken and played in what was then a small market.
@Super70sSports How lucky were we that this happened vs. the Dodgers & thus, Vin Scully got to call it?
@Super70sSports The 2 white fans would've been snipered nowadays
@Super70sSports @BillyPilgrim26 Hank is the real Home Run King.
@Super70sSports Pure magic! What a moment to remember.
@Super70sSports Somebody on the web must know what happened to the two dudes who got on the field and did the trot with him. (Short and long term.)
@Super70sSports What! No standing in the box watching the ball! Lesson there for today’s players.
