As a life long Giants' fan, I remember that game all too well, sniff!
However, Baker wasn't sacked for that move, but rather his insistance that
he was the primary reason for the team's success. The Owner, President, and
GM all took exception to that figuring they were the architects who brought in the free agents and role players. There had been trouble brewing there for a couple of years.
But had the Giants won that game you've got to think that Baker is still here, bad blood or no.
I feel for the poor SOB Cubs-fan who tried for the foul ball in game six of the Cubs-Marlins series. I gotta tell you that I've been to many, many ML games and had only 1 or 2 baseballs, fair or foul, ever come in my
direction. If I'm in that situation, I'm going for the ball. What about
you?
I feel for him too. I like to think that I'm such an educated fan that I'm aware of what may happen in that situation, but I think you're right, once the ball is comming right to me it's hard to think of anything else.
