Read the Novel, '64 Intruder, by Gregory T. Glading. In this novel a fan is transported back to that fateful 21 Sept night, and prevents the Ruiz steal of home by throwing a whiskey bottle on the field. Then you can read how it changes history. The novel is now a bit dated, but still a great read.

If the announcer sounds familar, it's John
Facenda of NFL Films fame...
