On this date 40 years ago, this athletics supporter got a taste for baseball with bloodlust, and became a Blue Jays fan for life. The brawl might have affected the outcome of multiple World Series.
You bastard! Here I am on holidays, constructing my 40 year anniversary story about the first batshit crazy moment since Earl Weaver pulled the Orioles off the field when YOU post the ultimate reconstruction of the defining moment of Bell's career. Yours is better than mine, and I will give you the necessary kudos for beating me to it (thanks for the recognition b.t.w.) Hope all is well in the sizzling Hammer. Oskee Wee Wee and all that. Cheers!
This is outstanding, Nate. Thanks for writing it.

And i'm looking forward to reading the authentic Mark Hebscher account.
Hebsy, you are too kind... I would not have been able to write this if you had not posted the video some years ago.
And I do want to read about Earl Weaver... I had the computer game that he put his name to when I was 12 and it taught me the game.
