Becoming Mr. October (9780385533126) (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
October 17 SITTING IN THE ROCKING CHAIR I WENT OUT to right field in the top of the ninth. I know Billy must’ve wanted to make a defensive replacement, put Paul Blair out there or something. But to his credit, he didn’t. He let me go out there and take another big hand from the fans. It was wild in the Stadium by then, like everything had been that whole summer. All the crazy stuff that went on—the Son of Sam, the blackout and the riot, the heat, the bad economic times. For me, I missed a lot of it. I was too caught up in my own crazy, jamma-ramma, soap opera episode, or whatever you want to call it. I had been stuck in my own little corner of the world for four or five months. On this night, stormy clouds were starting to clear. I was truly excited and happy. The fans were throwing down everything. Not at me, not aimed at any of the Yankees, of course, but they were throwing out anything that wasn’t nailed down. They were excited. I remember there were bits of paper coming down continuously.
