I think I remember listening when Chaney hit that grand slam. But one shouldn't forget something as rare as a grand slam by Darrel Chaney. :)

John Sipin and Van Kelly must have never had their picture on a baseball card since I have no recollection of those two at all. Expansion teams can bring out some names that were easily forgotten.

[George Anderson]

Cesar Geronimo was ejected from the dugout in the bottom of the eighth inning.

That is suprising.......of all the BRM I kinda thought Cesar was the most easy going.
