It was twenty years ago today...

[hawing]

...that this happened. And there's a new/newly restored video clip with WGN commentary!

 

 

God bless Brant Brown. And frankly, I'm a little nostalgic for the days when the Cubs visiting Milwaukee didn't mean obnoxious fans in every bloody corner of the Brewers' park. This game did not include that animosity, at least not where we sat (in the RF lower grandstand).

More to save myself extra typing than to toot my own horn, I made a thread about this game on Twitter, in case you're interested to see more of my memories:

Ron Santo's radio call of that play was legendary.

 

"Oh, no!!!!"

That is exactly what happened to me, and I'm not even a big Beatles guy.

Same. Bigger fan of Pink Floyd, The Who & The Kinks

Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play.

Kiss, Zeppelin, and Judas Priest for me...

I remember exactly where I was when that happened. I was driving home from work and had the Cub broadcast on.

Ron Santo's radio call of that play was legendary.

 

"Oh, no!!!!"

That was the best.

Reminds me of better times in Packers' history as well:

 

I could watch that video 100 times in a row, lol

Screw you Ron and every Cub fan that ever lived.

That was a magical moment. The season where Brett Favre's dad died and felt like everything was falling into place for a truly otherworldly playoff run...up until 4th and 26.
