Steve Hamilton throws his folly floater against Tony Horton. He throws this eephus pitch twice to Horton during the at bat. The result is pretty amusing.

I actually remember this

@keebemon I remember watching with great fondness Steve Hamilton throw this at un-suspecting batters.
-
I also was at the doubleheader. If memory serves, Horton hit a bullet to center which tipped the glove of Murcer. The ball went between the monuments and Mercer jumped between them and disappeared for 2 seconds. He then rifled a perfect blind throw to Gene Michael who was able to hold Horton to the longest triple in history. FYI, Stan Bahsan inadvertently tagged Pinson in the groin, sparking the fight

Hamilton actually taught a basketball class that I took. He was a talented guy to make it in two sports like he did. He played in two different World Series and in the NBA championship too. Only one other player ever did that and his name wasn't Air. Hamilton sure knew how to play head games with people in sports. He taught me all sorts of ways to mess with people's heads in a game. Hamilton was a treasure of knowledge and his attitude always shone through. He enjoyed every second of his life.

I knew Hamilton from his days at Morehead St. after his pro career. Great guy.

I went 18 years of my life and never knew this footage of my Grandpa (Hamilton) existed. Thank you for showing me stories he never had the chance to tell me in person.

You're right. It WAS June 24, 1970, arguably the wildest day ever at Yankee Stadium. Aside from the Folly Floater, the doubleheader, which the teams split, included four consecutive HRs by Bobby Murcer, a benches-clearing brawl that followed a collision between Yanks pitcher Stan Bahnsen and Indians OF Vada Pinson, and last but not least, a cherry bomb that was thrown on the field and then rolled under Indians C Ray Fosse and went off! At age 8, I attended this game and will never forget it.
