ADIOS EL KABONG
by Billy Altman Strange how some tilings just stick in your mind well after you'd hoped they'd be forgotten. I suppose that one of the most sobering moments in my life came during the second game of the 1973 World Series, as I watched with horror and sadness Willy Mays, who for over 20 years just about symbolized the essence of playing baseball, fall down trying to catch a fly ball that he'd already lost in the sun.
November 1, 1978
