I posted an anniversary thread five years ago, and several loungers at the time claimed to be there...

1. I was listening on the radio, does that count?

Can't remember much of it though. I believe Harry Carey and Jimmy Piersall were still doing the broadcast.
Since it was between games the radio broadcast went back to the studio.

2. I love how at the bottom of these legendary games gone crazy is always Bounty Bowl II

That was a great game. And the best thing about it - Eagles won it too!

5. I was there, sort of...

My buddies and I went down there for it but it was sold out so we sat it out at McCuddy's, sitting outside watching people across the street at Comiskey scale the walls to get in.... It was crazy...
