Texas Rangers versus New York Yankees - April 8, 1978
Great day in Texas for a pitchers' duel featuring Ron Guidry of the reigning World Champion New York Yankees and Jon Matlack, the ex-New York Met. But poor base running by Reggie Jackson and Chris Chambliss enabled the leadoff, walk-off HR by Richie Zisk in the 9th off of Goose Gossage. Fantastic opening day drama!

This was the first baseball game I ever saw in person. My dad checked me out of school early, and we were off to see the World Champion New York Yankees against the hometown Rangers! Great game. Will never forget it.
Even though I grew up in the DFW area, I was a Yankee fan because I was left-handed, and the Yankees' best hitter and pitcher, Reggie Jackson and Ron Guidry, were left-handed. I wore 44 or 49 almost every baseball season as a kid.

New York Yankees versus Texas Rangers - July 24, 1995
I think I was at this game. Was there a rain delay during. I remember Don Mattingly's home run that landed a few rows in at the right field porch. But I'm not 100% sure. Thanks!

Yes. There was a 19 minute rain delay after the 6th inning.

New York Yankees versus Baltimore Orioles - June 21, 1966
I recall watching game 1 of this 6/21/1966 doubleheader at Yankee Stadium on TV, it's the bottom of the 9th, Orioles ahead 7-5, there's 2 out and the Yanks have 2 runners on base. Roy White hits a deep fly to right, and Frank Robinson goes back to the short bleacher wall they had back then, jumps up, the ball goes into his glove, and he falls into the stands among presumably all Yankee fans, and out of sight. Yet he gets up and emerges from the stands with the ball. The umpire calls White out, and Yanks manager Ralph Houk is livid arguing the call. But what I most remember was the call of O's longtime announcer Chuck Thompson. He first called it a catch after the ump's initial ruling, but the best thing that I distinctly recall Thompson saying during the ensuing Houk tirade, while awaiting an official ruling, "The game is over, but I'm not sure who won."

I was at that game. Robinson disappeared into the stands when he made the catch and emerged holding the ball high. Umpire ruled a catch and the fans went ballistic. When game 2 started, fans were throwing things at Robinson and the PA announcer had to insist they stop, which they eventually did. Yanks won game 2.

Milwaukee Braves versus Pittsburgh Pirates - May 26, 1959
According to the above site, Adcock hit a ball to center that Virdon could not field and got a double. I listened to the last two innings on KDKA radio and according to BobPrince the Pittsburgh announcer, Adcock hit a ball to right field but the right fielder got a glove on the ball but it fell over the chain link fence. Adcock was declared out because when Aaron reached second he believed that the ball had fallen in the field of play and he returned to the Braves dugout. Therefore, when Aaron realized his mistake and tried to return to 2nd base so Adcock could get credit for the 3 run homer, he could not do it because once the winning run crossed the plate and Aaron was passed by Adcock, the game was over. For many years, Haddix was credited with a perfect 12 inning game, but his name was removed from the list of perfrect game pitchers because a runner reached base in the 13th.

I understand why Adcock was called out for passing Aaron on the base path between 2nd and 3rd, and only credited with a double instead of a homer. But why wasn't Aaron called out for leaving the base path after rounding 2nd?
