This is from the 6th inning of the Aug 21,1968 game...Mays would walk...#9 is catcher JC Martin...#45 is pitcher Billy Connors, who would serve 3 terms as Yankee pitching coach...he threw a wild pitch during this at bat.

@Coastergeekperson04 Nah!! I"m just a nut who enjoys finding clips like this and figuring when they happenned.I've learned that just prior to this Mays' AB, someone called NYPD claiming there was a bomb in one of the Shea dugouts.Both teams emptied out onto the field and play was delayed 10 minutes while a search found nothing.Credit to Retrosheet,Mark Donohue's fan memory at Ultimate Mets Database,and a UPI report from the Watertown Daily Times.USSR began crushing Prague spring that morning.
