I was in the YMCA Day Camp that year and that day stand out in my memory.
We went to the Wonder Bread bakery on Diversey Ave., then went to the Cubs
game. Besides Telstar, the part of the game I remember was one of the Phillies
hitting a high fly, all three Cub outfielders converging on it, Lou Brock calling for
the ball and it drops between all three of them. Yep, those were my Cubbies
back then.
