Another Favorite Moment

It POURED on the morning of October 14, 1985. Game five of the NLCS between the Cardinals and the Dodgers didn’t start until late afternoon, but in the morning, it was raining hard. I remember because I had to go downtown to work for something early, at about 9:00, and I got a flat tire. I had a 1984 red Honda CRX, a tiny little car, and somehow on 40 near McKnight my right front tire went flat. So, I pulled over, changed it, got soaked, and went on my merry way.
