Only after reviewing the tape later did they realize that a defensive player had been the one who tapped it right before the horn. It should not have counted, and the wrong team won the game. Ouch!

There's an old thread somewhere showing that clip and having the accompanying discussion.

Sigh. If only Chuck Elias was still around. He was kind of a pain in the azz, being such a big BoSox fan and having that manic obsession with spelling and grammar mistakes, but the l'il feller did have a few positive attributes(with the emphasis on "few"). Finding old threads was one of them.

Please don't take that as any kind of criticism, Scrapper. Your being such an ardent Yankees fan certainly makes up for any other personal shortcomings that you might have. I picture you as being much taller than Chuck too.
