Description
A Story:
My son got married on October 11, 1997. The Cleveland Indians were in
the playoffs and playing Baltimore in an afternoon game on that day. The game was won by a 12th-inning squeeze play ... Grissom's dash home gave the tribe a 2-1 series lead ... was a wild finish!
My sons wedding reception was being held a block away from the ballpark. The reception started around 7 and the game was still going strong even though it started in the afternoon .. the tried and true Indians fans were listening to the radio, watching the tv, or walked down to the ballpark.
The wedding reception was held in the old Cleveland Grays Armory ... a beautiful building with very tall massive windows. During the Father/Daughter dance fireworks lit up the sky and the reception hall through the mass of windows. Just about everyone watching the Father/Daughter dance started screaming and left the hall and joined the festivities on the streets. The Indians had WON the game!!
The wedding then continued in earnest and lots of happy people ...
This image is two pictures ... the paper's headlines the next day and a
fan on the street celebrating ...
