Thanks Ed, I was always bummed that I never had a copy of this. Great to finally get a chance to see it. (And yeah, I'll never forget the aftermath. Holy geeze....)
Then Vice President George H.W Bush was in the stands singing the national anthem, a true patriot! I was only two when this happened how I wish I was at least 8 and could have expierenced the joy of the World Series victory and President Reagan's victory a few weeks later.
Very interesting to compare this rendition with the one Jose Feliciano did in '68, prior to the *previous* WS Game 5 at Tiger Stadium. Talk about your polar opposite approaches (and responses!).
Truth be told, I'm still kind of partial to Feliciano's version.

This was probably the last time a World Series was played during the daytime during the weekends.

Being a 1984 baby born in Detroit makes you so proud let me tell you. The Tigers will never ever be this good again. Shame.

Nothin' beats Jose Feliciano in Game 5 of the '68 Series.
Still gives me goose bumps.

One of my most vivid memories of college - what a great time (and crazy - if you remember the "celebration" after the game)!
