One night on my way to Candlestick to see Koufax pitch. Gives up four in the first and is taken out. Missed the inning.
However the only film of the Marichal bat incident was shot by my father with me as AC for him.. The Dodgers recorded over the videotape which was SOP at the time so anytime it plays it's my dad.
Last night, a 4-2 Logan Webb victory for the Giants' fifth straight win. No Willie Davis, Willie McCovey, Garry Maddox, Juan Marichal or John Roseboro. But we got to see two Stanford alums play against each other, Giants leadoff man Austin Slater, and KC's starting pitcher, 24-year old Kris Bubic (and #40 overall selection). Bubic got the better of it, striking out Slater three times but ultimately lost the game, dropping to 0-4. BRandon Belt showed up in a pinch-hitting role now that he's off the DL, and promptly got drilled. Slater, throwing error. Gonzalez had a nice assist, throwing out a Royal at the plate by about a yard. Webb, 6-2.
And Giants are now on a run rate to win 93 games and are in the #2 W/C spot. They're 1/2 game behind St. Louis, and 3 games behind Dodgers and Padres.
