A July 4 weekend series between ancient rivals Boston and the Yankees culminated in the most ultimate way possible. And it was George Steinbrenner's birthday, too.
The video is from WPIX's broadcast. The audio is from the team's radio broadcast, which opens with Phil Rizzuto & Bill White. Ah, the days when the announcers would alternate between TV & radio, a practice that only the San Francisco Giants, I think, continue today.
I remember watching this game with my late father and with my brother. Dave Righetti would convert to closer to continue his career, and then went on to be a pitching coach with the Giants before retiring a while back.
