@Scorp308 Keith Hernandez explained later in the episode that the spitter was Roger McDowell (he had played for the Mets at the time). Newman and Kramer admitted they were cursing at him all game, so McDowell took his revenge on them. :)
the amazing thing about how brilliantly they filmed the Zapruder portion of this is that upon the first viewing I did not even notice Roger McDowell (who is clearly visible during the recounting to this scene). It's a credit to how arresting a physical performer Michael Richards is, as well as how brilliantly this is all constructed, that my eyes never left the foreground...
My dad use to say that it took 30 years after the most tragic historical events for this joke about JFK to come out. It's also funny to see Newman to be portraying the same character as he did in Stone's movie "JFK ."
Checked out the 1987 Mets. Turns out they didn't even play the Phillies on June 14. Truth be known, they won at Pittsburgh 7-3. I figured the part about Keith Hernandez was made up, but I wondered if they had the opponent right. Nope.
@hersheybarblues Wouldn't have been pretty cool if there had been an actual game between Mets and Phillies on that day. But still, an epic episode anyway. :-)
this is textbook jfk lol but still kramer and newman r funny as hell

I can still remember collapsing on the ground and thumping the ground in hysterics when I first watched this scene . . . one of the very best . . .

I think that the game is irrelevant here...parody on JFK scene is much more important
