If you weren't there, you can't imagine. If you were, you don't need to --- simply amazing day!

It was unbelievable. I watched the replay at a little corner bar in beautiful Agwam MA.

I was an Internal Auditor for Humana, on assignment in Clear Lake Texas.........remember watching it in the hotel bar while playing backgammon and downing a few bourbon & branches.

Remember it being a Friday - was out with Kathi Something for the third time, and you know what that means. We get back to her dorm room, turn on the radio and hear the score. Got so freaked out I had to find a tv for the tape delayed broadcast - it wasn't on live.

 

Poor Kathi was left wondering what kind of a bozo she was about to, uhhh, get to know better.

 

We made up for it the following weekend.

I was not really old enough to remember the game, but I do remember the stories from my Dad that I did in fact watch the game with him and his two brothers at our family bar (great atmosphere for a 3 year old).  Years later when I was working at E&Y I had a client in MA and one of the owners of the company was a huge Boston sports nut.  He had tons of Celtics and Red Sox stuff in his office as well as a basketball hoop and hockey net.  I went in to talk with him one afternoon and he was shooting a street ball into the net and told me to take a shot.  I took one and then he tells me that the stick I was using was one of Eruzione's sticks from the Miracle game.  Turns out that he and Eruzione were great friends and grew up playing hockey together until his ability or lack thereof caught up with him.  I also shot baskets with a ball from one of the Celtics championship games and swung one of Ted Williams' bats that he had in his collection.  Really unique guy in that he did not believe in keeping these collectibles in glass and really liked to play with his toys.

That hockey game is still exciting now.  What a great day.
