I was at this game: http://www.baseball-reference.com/bo...99205050.shtml
I can still see Gruber crushing that Goose Gossage pitch over the LF wall. I also remember the As STH seated beside me very unhappy when Gossage came into the game. I had always remembered Gossage as a dominate closer with the Yankees. Not so much anymore, the STH (nice guy) was right, Gruber broke open what was a tight game up to that point.
