I think it happened in the early 60's, so it wasn't the twin towers. Just looked it up - you were right about not being the NY Towers: "...on March 22, 1978, the world watched in horror as Karl Wallenda fell to his death. As he attempted to walk across a high wire strung between the two towers of the Condado Plaza Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the 73-year-old Wallenda lost his balance, teetering on the wire for 30 heart-stopping seconds before plummeting 10 stories." I'll never forget the feeling of dreadfulness and emptiness watching it happen. This is the one I thought you were talking about. www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/detroit/2014/11/03/wallendas-fatal-fall-detroit-circus/18405583/ |

Peraza with a poor feed to Volpe that dooms the double play.

Terrible play in the outfield by Waldo, turning a single into a triple. I noticed last year that he was quite fortunate to grab the ball on some of his outfield dives. That left him with fielding g ratings that could have taken a wild and nasty swing if he had missed some of them… Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good… |

I wasn’t home much… I was looking for something else… Before your gravel, rock, and stone fascination focused your mind. |

Hope arrives in the form of the Royals bullpen… I’m surprised they pulled Grienke…

Another game going 5 innings without a run. We have to lead the league in that dubious category.

Eight hits in four innings for King. His one bad outing as a starter. Second consecutive day our starter allows 8 hits in 4 innings… Better than Friday night.  |

Off the wall double for Wells. Second hit of the day. Has his OPS over .700 after a very slow start.

Wells loses another RBI because DJ can't run.
