Well...I watched the game from about the 4th inning, and taped it from the
12th for better perusal later on.  Yes, they brought all 3 outfielders in
and stood the left and right fielders on the dirt (!) and the center
fielder was JUST behind the dirt.  Basically they had simply moved straight
in.  The announcers were hysterical.  What is even funnier, is they just
walked Backman (intentionally--well on 4 pitchouts!!!!!), and loaded the
bases up.  Then they all went back out again!  

The best line from the TV coverage was when they showed the 3rd replay of
Rusty running after the ball, Ralph Kiner called him a speed-burner.  

The 2nd best line from TV was when they showed a tight shot of a bunch of
fat old (mostly black) guys sitting around in Met Jackets, in about the 
17th inning.  "And that's all that's left in the Mets' bullpen!"

What an amazing game it was!!  And when was the last time you saw a pitcher
come up with another on second base??  Or 7 infielders??  

By the way, the next Pirate pitcher was going to be Tony Pena, the catcher,
and the Mets (after Darling) were going to try George Foster.

WHAT A DAY!!

There are two kinds of people in the world, those who divide people into two
kinds, and those who don't.
