50 years ago today Hammerin' Hank passed the Babe. Still gives me all the chills to watch it years later. I can't imagine what it would have been like and felt like to watch it in real time.
No slight intended but I'm pretty sure this is the first time I heard Curt Gowdy's call of that home run. I only ever remember hearing Milo Hamilton's and Vin Scully's calls.
