I was at this game. 4 things stuck out for a 9yr old me, the reasons I remember the game. 1. This anthem was awful. 2. A fight near our seats in peanut heaven and the guys walking by as they got kicked out, blood running down their faces. 3. 2 guys running on the field after Jay Bell's HR. 4. Empty seats. They opened up the whole of TRS, That amount of people would have generally been a sellout. 11 yrs separated from a WS, we didn't appreciate the playoffs. Not so if it were to happen again.
Bonds wasn't kidding when he said they couldn't sell out three rivers even in the post season. The upper deck in the outfield was only about half full.
@pgraybengal Apparently, Ted Shaker, who was a big time producer @ CBS Sports caught Buck in a hotel lobby soon afterward and simply said "You're in trouble!" Also, a Pirate fan left a footprint on a pillow from Buck's hotel room.

Jack Buck must of been lucky that CBS didn't fire him immediately for mentioning Bobby Vinton being "Polish and from Pittsburgh!"
